Declaration on Human Fraternity
It was written and signed by Nobel Peace Laureates and representatives of Nobel Peace Prize Organizations during the first World Meeting on Human Fraternity held on June 10, 2023, in St. Peter’s Square, Vatican City, Rome.
Let’s join the voice of Pope Francis, who invites us to choose fraternity to remain human and share the same destiny: “We are different, we have different cultures and religions, but we are brothers and we want to live in peace.”
Sign the document and also invite your family, your neighborhood, your parish, schools, and universities to do the same.
Among others, the following Nobel Laureates and Nobel Peace Laureate Organizations have already signed and supporting the document: Juan Manuel Santos, Oscar Arias SƔnchez, Jody Williams, Shirin Ebadi, Muhammad Yunus, Leymah Gbowee, Tawakkol Karman, Denis Mukwege, Nadia Murad, Giorgio Parisi, Maria Ressa, Mairead Corrigan Maguire, Bureau International de la Paix (IPB), American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), Center for Civil Liberties.
Join us and sign the declaration: “It is up to our freedom to desire fraternity and build it together in unity. Sign this appeal with us to embrace this dream and turn it into daily practice, so that it reaches the minds and hearts of all leaders and those who, at every level, have a small or great civic responsibility.”
History teaches us that great changes begin with small concrete gestures to promote fraternity.Ā
