New Humanity continues to collaborate at the international level to advance the values of dialogue, fraternity, and human dignity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jorge Dias Ferreira and Esther and Juan Salamanca, representatives of New Humanity in Geneva, composed two joint statements in light of the ongoing <\/span>63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council<\/b>. Each statement was co-signed by several Catholic-inspired NGOs, such as Edmund Rice International, IIMA, VIDES Internazionale, and Communit\u00e0 Papa Giovanni XXIII.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The statements were composed in response to the annual reports presented by UN independent experts on the themes of t<\/strong><\/span>he promotion of a democratic and equitable order<\/b>, and the<\/strong><\/span> care of older persons. <\/b>The reports are presented center-stage at the Palais des Nations.<\/p>\n

Following the presentation of each report, NGOs with UN Consultative Status \u2013 such as New Humanity \u2013 are given the opportunity to provide feedback, highlight certain points, or pose questions to the independent expert. These session are called Interactive Dialogues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These moments are mandatory before each report becomes an official UN document, and is eventually used as the basis to shape concrete action.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jorge Dias Ferreira delivered<\/a><\/span>\u00a0a statement<\/span> on behalf of New Humanity and the co-signing NGOs, during the Interactive Dialogue on the promotion of a democratic and equitable international order. The statement emphasized that more world powers willing to dominate and impose their interests would not benefit humanity. Instead, a new fraternal relationship between global powers is necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the Interactive Dialogue on the c<\/span>are of older persons, New Humanity sent the joint statement to the<\/strong><\/span> Secretariat of the Human Rights Council. <\/b>The statement strongly advised that states need to provide families and caregivers with the resources and supports necessary to care properly for loved ones. It also affirmed that older persons need to continue to be integrated into communities.<\/p>\n
