OF' TI IE. SUPREtr,IE PONTIFF'

FRAI{CiS

ON TI{E, JUI{ISDiCTION OF JUDICIAL AUTFIORITIES OF VATICAN CITY STAIE

N CI{IN,{NAL VIAITERS

In our times. the common good is increasingly threatened by transnational organized crime, the improper
use of the mar"kets and of the economy, as u,ell as by tenorism.

It is therefore llecessar-v for the intemational communitl, to adopt adequate legal instruments to prevent
and counter criminal activities, by prornoting intemational judicial cooperation on criminal matters.

In ratifying numerous intemational conventions in these areas, and acting also on behalf of Vatican City
State, tire Holy See has constantly maintained that such agreements are effective means to prevent
criminal actir,ities that threaten human dignity, the common good and peace,

With a rrierv to renetving the Apostolic See's comrnitment to cooperate to these ends, by means of this
Apostolic Letter issued illotu Propt'io,I establish that:

1 . The competeut Judicial Authorities of Vatican City State shall aiso exercise penal jurisdiction over:

a) crimes committed against the security, the fundamental interests or the patrirnony of the
Holy See;

b) crirnes refened to:

- in Vaticair City State Law No. VIII, of 11 July 2013, containing Suppleruentary
Norrns on Crindnal Law Matters;

- in Vatican City State Law No. IX, of 11 July 2013, containing Amendntents to
5t1612A16 Apostolic Letter lssued Motu Proprio On the Jurisdiction of Judicial Authorities of Vatican City State in Criminal Matters (11 July 2013) | Francis

when such crimes are comfiritted by the persons referred to in paragraph 3

below, in the exercise of their functions;

c) any other crime whose prosecution is required by an intemational agreement ratified by

tlie Holy See, if the perpetrator is pliysicaliy present in the teruitor'.v of \ratican City State and
has not beett extradited.

2. The crimes referred to in paragraph l are to be judged pursuant to the criminal law in force in Vatican
City State at the time of their comrnission, rvithout prejudice to the general principles of the iegal system
on the temporal application of crirninal larvs.

3. For the purposes of Vatican criminal larv, the follorving persons are deemed "public fficials"',
a) mernbers. officials and personr-iel of the various organs of the Roman Curia and of the
Institutions connected to it.

Francis noted that Latin American church leaders in the past had acknowledged
"grave sins were committed against the native peoples of America in the name of
God." St. John Paul ll, for his part, apologized to the continent's indigenous forthe
SUGGESTED FOR YOU
"pain and suffering" caused during the 500 years of the church's presence on the
continent during a 1992 visit to the Dominican Republic.

But Francis went farther.

"l humbly ask forgiveness, not only for the offenses of the church herself, but also
for crimes committed against the native peoples during the so-called conquest of
America," he said to applause and cheers from the crowd.

Earlier in the day, Francis denounced the "throwaway" culture of today's society that
discards anyone who is unproductive as he celebrated his first public Mass in
Bolivia.

The government declared a national holiday so workers and students could attend
the Mass, which featured pra,vers in Guarani and Aimara, two of Bolivia's
indigenous languages, and an altar carved from wood by artisans of the Chiquttano
people.

ln a blending of the native and new, the famously unpretentious pope changed into
his vestments for the Mass in a nearby Burger King.

Speaking to the crowd in South America's poorest country, Francis decried the
prevailing mentality of the world economy where so many people are "discarded"
today the poor, the elderly, those who are unproductive.
-
''lt is a mentality in which everything has a price, everything can be bought,
everything is negotiable." he said. "This way of thinking has room only for a select
few, while it discards all those who are unproductive,"

The day, however, threatened to be overshadowed by President Evc Morales'

controversial gift to Francis upon his arrival: a crucifix carved into a hammer and
sickle.

-'',,pope francis evo

Both the Vatican and the Bolivian government insisted Morales wasn't making a
heretical or political statement with the gift. They said the cross, dubbed the
"Communist crucifix," had originally been designed by a Jesuit activist, the Rev.
Luis Espinal, who was assassinated in 1980 by suspected paramilitaries during the
months that preceded a violent military coup in Bolivia. On Wednesday, Francis, a
fellow Jesuit, prayed at the site where Espinal's body was dumped.

"You can dispute the significance and use of the symbol now, but the origin is from
Espinal and the sense of it was about an open dialogue, not about a speciftc
ideology," said the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi.

The Bolivian qovernment insisted the gift wasn't a political maneuver of any sort,
5t1612016 Pope Apologizes For Catholic Church's'Offenses' Against lndigenous Peoples

but was a profound symbol that Morales thought the "pope of the poor" would
appreciate.

"That was the intention of this gift, and it was not any sort of maneuver ... lt was
really from great affection, a work designed by the very hands of Luis Espinal,"
Communications Minister Marianela Paco told Patria Nueva radio.

MESSAGE OF HIS HOUNESS

POPE FRANCIS
FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE
WORLD DAY OF PEACE

1 JANUARY 2015

NO LONGER SLAVES, BUT BROTHERS AND STSTERS

1. At the beginning of this New Year, which we welcome as God's gracious gift
to all humanity, I offer heartfelt wishes of peace to every man and woman, to
all the world's peoples and nations, to heads of state and government, and to
religious leaders. In doing so, I pray for an end to wars, conflicts and the great
suffering caused by human agency, by epidemics past and present, and by the
devastation wrought by natural disasters. I pray especially that, on the basis of
our common calling to cooperate with God and all people of good will for the
advancement of harmony and peace in the world, we may resist the temptation
to act in a manner unwofthy of our humanity.

In my Message for Peace last year, I spoke of "the desire for a full life... which
includes a longing for fraternity which draws us to fellowship with others and
enables us to see them not as enemies or rivals, but as brothers and sisters to
be accepted and embraced".[1] Since we are by nature relational beings, meant
to find fulfilment through interpersonal relationships inspired by justice and love,
it is fundamental for our human development that our dignity, freedom and
autonomy be acknowledged and respected. Tragically, the growing scourge of
man's exploitation by man gravely damages the life of communion and our
calling to forge interpersonal relations marked by respect, justice and love. This
abominable phenomenon, which leads to contempt for the fundamental rights of
others and to the suppression of their freedom and dignity, takes many forms. I
would like briefly to consider these, so that, in the light of God's word, we can
consider all men and women "no longer slaves, but brothers and sisters".

Listening to God's plan for humanity

2. The theme I have chosen for this year's message is drawn from Saint Paul's
letter to Phibmon, in which the Apostle asks his co-worker to welcome
Onesimus, formerly Philemon's slave, now a Christian and, therefore, according
to Paul, worthy of being considered a brother. The Apostle of the Gentiles
writes: "Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that you might
have him back for ever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave, as a
11t14t2016 XLVlll World Day of Peace 2015: No longer slaves, but brothers and sisters I Francis

beloved brother" (w. 15-16). Onesimus became Philemon's brother when he

became a Christian. Conversion to Christ, the beginning of a life lived Christian
discipleship, thus constitutes a new birth (cf. 2 Cor 5:17; 7 Pet 1:3) which
generates fraternity as the fundamental bond of family life and the basis of life
in society.

In the Book of Genesis (cf . 1:27-28), we read that God made man male and
female, and blessed them so that they could increase and multiply. He made
Adam and Eve parents who, in response to God's command to be fruitful and
multiply, brought about the first fraternity, that of Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel
were brothers because they came forth from the same womb. Consequently
they had the same origin, nature and dignity as their parents, who were created
in the image and likeness of God.

But fraternity also embraces variety and differences between brothers and
sisters, even though they are linked by birth'and are of the same nature and
digniW. As brothers and sisters, therefore, all people are in relation with others,
from whom they differ, but with whom they share the same origin, nature and
dignity. In this way, fraternity constitutes the network of relations essential for
the building of the human family created by God.

Tragically, between the first creation recounted in the Book of Genesis and the
new birth in Christ whereby believers become brothers and sisters of the "first-
born among many brethren" (Rom 8:29), there is the negative reality of sin,
which often disrupts human fraternity and constantly disfigures the beauty and
nobility of our being brothers and sisters in the one human family. It was not
only that Cain could not stand Abel; he killed him out of envy and, in so doing,
committed the first fratricide. "Cain's murder of Abel bears tragic witness to his
radical rejection of their vocation to be brothers. Their story (cf. Gen 4:1-16)
brings out the difficult task to which all men and women are called, to live as
one, each taking care of the other".[2]

This was also the case with Noah and his children (cf' Gen 9:18-27). Ham's
disrespect for his father Noah drove Noah to curse his insolent son and to bless
the others, those who honoured him. This created an inequality between
brothers born of the same womb.

In the account of the origins of the human family, the sin of estrangement from
God, from the father figure and from the brother, becomes an expression of the
refusal of communion. It gives rise to a culture of enslavement (cf. Gen 9:25-
27), with all its consequences extending from generation to generation:
rejection of others, their mistreatment, violations of their dignity and
fundamental rights, and institutionalized inequality. Hence, the need for constant
conversion to the Covenant, fulfilled by Jesus'sacrifice on the cross, in the
confidence that "where sin increased, grace abounded all the more... through
Jesus Christ" (Rom 5:20-21). Christ, the beloved Son (cf. Mt 3:17), came to
11t14t2016 XLVlll World Day of Peace 2015. No longer slaves, but brothers and sisters I Francis

reveal the Father's love for humanity. Whoever hears the Gospel and responds
to the call to conversion becomes Jesus"'brother, sister and mother" (Mt
12:50), and thus an adopted son of his Father (cf. Eph 1:5).

One does not become a Christian, a child of the Father and a brother or sister
in Christ, as the result of an authoritative divine decree, without the exercise of
personal freedom: in a word, without being freely convefted to Christ. Becoming
a child of God is necessarily linked to conversion: "Repent, and be baptized,
every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins;
and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:38). All those who
responded in faith and with their lives to Pete/s preaching entered into the
fraternity of the first Christian community (cf. 1 Pet 2:17; Acts 1:15-16,6:3,
l
15:23): Jews and GreeK, slaves and free (cf. Cor L2:13; Gal 3:28), Differing
origins and social status did not diminish anyone's dignity or exclude anyone
from belonging to the People of God. The Christian community is thus a place of
communion lived in the love shared among brothers and sisters (cf. Rom 12:10;
l Thess 4:9; Heb 13:1; l PetI:22;2Pett:7).
All of this shows how the Good News of Jesus Christ, in whom God makes "all
things new" (Rev 21:5),[3] is also capable of redeeming human relationships,
including those between slaves and masters, by shedding light on what both
have in common: adoptive sonship and the bond of brotherhood in Christ. Jesus
himself said to his disciples: "No longer do I call you servants, for the seryant
does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all
that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you" (Jn 15:15).

The many faces of slavery yesterday and today

3. From time immemorial, different societies have known the phenomenon of

man's subjugation by man. There have been periods of human history in which
the institution of slavery was generally accepted and regulated by law. This
legislation dictated who was born free and who was born into slavery, as well
as the conditions whereby a freeborn person could lose his or her freedom or
regain it. In other words, the law itself admitted that some people were able or
required to be considered the property of other people, at their free disposition.
A slave could be bought and sold, given away or acquired, as if he or she were
a commercial product.

Today, as the result of a growth in our awareness, slavery, seen as a crime

against humanity,[4] has been formally abolished throughout the world. The
right of each person not to be kept in a state of slavery or seruitude has been
recognized in international law as inviolable.

Yet, even though the international community has adopted numerous

agreements aimed at ending slavery in all its forms, and has launched various
strategies to combat this phenomenon, millions of people today - children,
11t14t2016 XLVlll world Day of Peace 2015: No longer slaves, but brothers and sisters I Francis

women and men of all ages - are deprived of freedom and are forced to live in
conditions akin to slavery.

I think of the many men and women labourers, including minors, subjugated in
different sectors, whether formally or informally, in domestic or agricultural
workplaces, or in the manufacturing or mining industry; whether in countries
where labour regulations fail to comply with international norms and minimum
standards, or, equally illegally, in countries which lack legal protection for
workers' rights.

I think also of the living conditions of many migrants who, in their,dramatic

odyssey, experience hunger, are deprived of freedom, robbed of their
possessions, or undergo physical and sexual abuse, In a pafticular way, I think
of those among them who, upon arriving at their destination after a gruelling
journey marked by fear and insecurity, are detained in at times inhumane
conditions. I think of those among them, who for different social, political and
economic reasons, are forced to live clandestinely. My thoughts also turn to
those who, in order to remain within the law,.agree to disgraceful living and
working conditions, especially in those cases where the laws of a nation create
or permit a structural dependency of migrant workers on their employers, as, for
example, when the legality of their residency is made dependent on their labour
contract. Yes, I am thinking of "slave labour".

I think also of persons forced into prostitution, many of whom are minors, aS
well as male and female sex slaves. I think of women forced into marriage,
those sold for arranged marriages and those bequeathed to relatives of their
deceased husbands, without any right to give or withhold their consent.

Nor can I fail to think of all those persons, minors and adults alike, who are
made objects of trafficking for the sale of organs, for recruitment as soldiers,
for begging, for illegal activities such as the production and sale of narcotics, or
for disguised forms of cross-border adoption.

Finally, I think of all those kidnapped and held captive by terrorist groups,
subjected to their purposes as combatants, or, above all in the case of young
girls and women, to be used as Sex slaves. Many of these disappear, while
others are sold several times over, totured, mutilated or killed.

Some deeper causes of slavery

4.Today, as in the past, slavery is rooted in a notion of the human person

which allows him or her to be treated as an object. Whenever sin corrupts the
human heart and distances us from our Creator and our neighbours, the latter
are no longer regarded as beings of equal dignity, as brothers or sisters sharing
a common humanity, but rather as objects. Whether by coercion or deception,
or by physical or psychological duress, human persons created in the image and

an4 E Lt^^l
 '!

11t14t2016 XLVlll World Day of Peace 2015: No longer slaves, but brothers and sisters I Francis

likeness of God are deprived of their freedom, sold and reduced to being the
propefty of others. They are treated as means to an end.

Alongside this deeper cause - the rejection of another person's humanity -

there are other causes which help to explain contemporary forms of slavery.
Among these, I think in the first place of povefi, underdevelopment and
exclusion, especially when combined with a lack of access to education or
scarce/ even non-existent, employment opportunities. Not infrequently, the
victims of human trafficking and slavery are people who look for a way out of a
situation of extreme poverty; taken in by false promises of employment, they
often end up in the hands of criminal networks which organize human
trafficking. These networK are skilled in using modern means of communication
as a way of luring young men and women in various pafts of the world.

Another cause of slavery is corruption on the part of people willing to do

anything for financial gain. Slave labour and human trafficking often require the
complicity of intermediaries, be they law enforcement personnel, state officials,
or civil and military institutions. "This occurs when money/ and not the human
person, is at the centre of an economic system. Yes, the person, made in the
image of God and charged with dominion over all creation, must be at the
centre of every social or economic system. When the person is replaced by
mammon, a subversion of values occurs".[S]

Fufther causes of slavery include armed conflicts, violence, criminal activity and
terrorism. Many people are kidnapped in order to be sold, enlisted as
combatants, or sexually exploited, while others are forced to emigrate, leaving
evefihing behind: their country, home, propefty, and even members of their
family. They are driven to seek an alternative to these terrible conditions even
at the risk of their personal dignity and their very lives; they risk being drawn
into that vicious circle which makes them prey to misery, corruption and their
baneful consequences.

A shared commitment to ending slavery

5. Often, when considering the reality of human trafficking, illegal trafficking of

migrants and other acknowledged or unacknowledged forms of slavery, one has
the impression that they occur within a context of general indifference.

Sadly, this is largely true,Yet I would like to mention the enormous and often
silent efforts which have been made for many years by religious congregations,
especially women's congregations, to provide suppot to victims. These
institutes work in very difficult situations, dominated at times by violence, as
they work to break the invisible chains binding victims to traffickers and
exploiters, Those chains are made up of a series of link, each composed of
clever psychological ploys which make the victims dependent on their exploiters.
This is accomplished by blackmail and threats made against them and their

https:i/w2.vatican.valcontenVfrancesco/en/messagesipeaceidocum ents/papa-francesco]l141208_messaggio-xlviii-giornata-m ondial+pace-2015.htm I 5/9

11t14t2016 XLVlll World Day of Peace 2015: No longer slaves, but brothers and sisters I Francis

loved ones, but also by concrete acts such as the confiscation of their identity
documents and physical violence. The activity of religious congregations is
carried out in three main areas: in offering assistance to victims, in working for
their psychological and educational rehabilitation, and in efforts to reintegrate
them into the society where they live or from which they have come.

This immense tas( which calls for courage/ patience and perseverance,
deserues the appreciation of the whole Church and society. Yet, of itself, it is
not sufficient to end the scourge of the exploitation of human persons. There is
also need for a threefold commitment on the institutional level: to prevention, to
victim protection and to the legal prosecution of perpetrators. Moreover, since
criminal organizations employ global networks to achieve their goals, effotts to
eliminate this phenomenon also demand a common and, indeed, a global effott
on the pat of various sectors of society.

States must ensure that their own legislation truly respects the dignity of the
human person in the areas of migration, empioyment, adoption, the movement
of businesses offshore and the sale of items produced by slave labour. There is
a need for just laws which are centred on the human person/ uphold
fundamental rights and restore those rights when they have been violated, Such
laws should also provide for the rehabilitation of victims/ ensure their personal
safety, and include effective means of enforcement which leave no room for
corruption or impunity. The role of women in society must also be recognized,
not least through initiatives in the sectors of culture and social communications.

Intergovernmental organizations, in keeping with the principle of subsidiarity, are

called to coordinate initiatives for combating the transnational networks of
organized crime which oversee the trafficking of persons and the illegal .
trafficking of migrants. Cooperation is clearly needed at a number of levels,
involving national and international institutions, agencies of civil society and the
world of finance.

Businesses[6] have a duty to ensure dignified working conditions and adequate

salaries for their employees, but they.must also be vigilant that forms of
subjugation or human trafficking do not find their way into the distribution chain.
Together with the socialresponsibility of businesses, there is also the social
responsibility of consumers. Every person ought to have the awareness that
"purchasing is always a moral - and not simply an economic act".l7l -
Organizations in civil society, for their pat, have the task of awakening
consciences and promoting whatever steps are necessary for combating and
uprooting the culture of enslavement.

In recent yearc, the Holy See, attentive to the pain of the victims of trafficking
and the voice of the religious congregations which assist them on their path to
freedom, has increased its appeals to the international community for
11t14t2016 XLVlll World Day of Peace 2015: No longer slaves, but brothers and sisters I Francis

cooperation and collaboration between different agencies in putting an end to

this scourge.[8] Meetings have also been organized to draw attention to the
phenomenon of human trafficking and to facilitate cooperation between various
agencies, including expets from the universities and international organizations,
police forces from migrants'countries of origin, transit, or destination, and
representatives of ecclesial groups which work with victims. It is my hope that
these efforts will continue to expand in years to come.

Globalizing fraternity, not slavery or indifference

6. In her "proclamation of the truth of Christ's love in society",[9] the Church

constantly engages in charitable activities inspired by the truth of the human -.
person. She is charged with showing to all the path to conversion, which
enables us to change the way we see our neighbours, to recognize in every
other person a brother or sister in our human fami[, and to acknowledge his or
her intrinsic dignity in truth and freedom. This can be clearly seen from the story
of Josephine Bakhita, the saint originally from the Dafur region in Sudan who
was kidnapped by slave-traffickers and sold,to brutal masters when she was
nine years old. Subsequently - as a result of painful experiences - she became
a "free daughter of God" thanks to her faith, lived in religious consecration and
in seruice to others, especially the most lowly and helpless. This saint, who lived
at the turn of the twentieth century, is even today an exemplary witness of
hope[10] for the many victims of slavery; she can suppott the efforts of all
those committed to fighting against this "open wound on the body of
contemporary society, a scourge upon the body of Christ". [11]

In the light of all this, I invite everyone, in accordance with his or her specific
role and responsibilities, to practice acts of fraternity towards those kept in a
state of enslavement. Let us ask ourselves, as individuals and as iommunities,
whether we feel challenged when, in our daily lives, we meet or deal with
persons who could be victims of human trafficking, or when we are tempted to
select items which may well have been produced by exploiting others. Some of
us, out of indifference, or financial reasons, or because we are caught up in our
daily concerns, close our eyes to this, Others, however, decide to do something
about it, to join civic associations or to practice small, everyday gestures -
which have so much merit! - such as offering a kind word, a greeting or a
smile. These cost us nothing but they can offer hope, open doors, and change
the life of another person who lives clandestinely; they can also change our own
lives with respect to this reality.

We ought to recognize that we are facing a global phenomenon which exceeds

the competence of any one community or country, In order to eliminate it, we
need a mobilization comparable in size to that of the phenomenon itself. For
this reason I urgently appeal to all men and women of good will, and all those
near or far, including the highest levels of civil institutions, who witness the
