OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF
FRANCIS

ON THE JURISDICTION OF JUDICIAL AUTHORITIES OF VATICAN

CIry STATE

IN CRIMINAL MATTERS

ln our times, the common good is increasingly threatened by transnational organized crime, the
improper use of the markets and of the economy, as well as by terrorisrn.
It is therefore necessary for the international community to adopt adequate legal instruments to

prevent and counter criminal activities, by promoting internationaljudicial cooperation on criminal

matters.

ln ratifying numerous international conventions in these areas, and acting also on behalf of
Vatican City State, the Holy See has constantly maintained that such agreements are effective
means to prevent criminal activities that threaten human dignity, the common good and peace.
With a view to renewing the Apostolic See's commitment to cooperate to these ends, by means of
this Apostolic Letter issued Motu Proprio,l establish that:
1. The competent Judicial Authorities of Vatican City State shall also exercise penal jurisdiction

over:

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

b) crimes referred to:

- in Vatican City State Law No. Vlll, of 11 July 2013, containing Supplementary Norms on Criminal

Law Matters:
- in Vatican City State Law No. lX, of 11 July 2A13, containing Amendments to the Ciminal Code
and the Ciminal Procedure Code;
when such crimes are committed by the persons refened to in paragraph 3 below, in the exercise
of their functions;

c) any other crime whose prosecution is required by an international agreement ratifled by the
Holy See, if the perpetrator is physically present in the tenitory of Vatican City State and has not

been extradited.
2. The crimes referred to in paragraph 1 are to be judged pursuant to the criminal law in force in
Vatican City State at the time of their commission, without preiudice to the general principles of the
legal system on the temporal application of criminal laws.

3. For the purposes of Vatican criminal law, the following persons are deemed "public officialsl
a) members, officials and personnel of the various organs of the Roman Curia and of the
lnstitutions connected to it.
b) papal legates and diplomatic personnelof the Holy See.
c) those persons who serve as representatives, managers or directors, as well as persons who

even de facto manage or exercise control over the entities directly dependent on the Holy See and
listed in the registry of canonicaljuridical persons kept by the Governorate of Vatican City State;
d) any other person holding an administrative or judicial mandate in the Holy See, permanent or
temporary, paid or unpaid, inespective of that person's seniority.
4. The jurisdiction referred to in paragraph 1 comprises also the administrative liability of juridical
persons arising from crimes, as regulated by Vatican City State laws.
5. When the same matters are prosecuted in other States, the provisions in force in Vatican City
State on concurrent jurisdiction shall apply.
6. The content of article 23 of Law No. CXIX of 21 November 1987, which approves the Judicial
Order of Vatican City State remains in force.

This I decide and establish, anything to the contrary notwithstanding.

I establish that this Apostolie Letter issued Motu Proprio will be promulgated by its publication in

L'Osservatore Rornano, entering into force on 1 September 2013.

MESSAGE OF HIS HOLINESS

POPE FRANCIS
FOR THE CELEBRATION OF THE

WORLD DAY OF PEACE

1

JANUARY2Ol5

NO LONGER SLAVES, BUT BROTHERS AND SISTERS

1. At the beginning of this New Year, which we welcome as God's gracious gift to all humanity,

offer heartfelt wishes of peace to every man and wornan, to all the world's peoples and nations, to
heads of state and government, and to religious leaders. ln 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 unworthy of our humanity.

ln my Messaqe 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".[ll Since we are by nature
relational beings, meant to find fulfilment through interpersonal relationships inspired by.iustice
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 treedom and dignity, takes many

forms. lwould like briefly to consider these, so that, in the tight of God's word, we can consider au
men and women "no longer slaves, but brothers and sister{.
Listening to God's plan for humanity

2.The theme I have chosen for this yeads me$sage is drawn from Saint Paul's letter to Philemon,
in which the Apostle asks his co-worker to welcome Onesirnus, formerly Philemon's slave, now a
Christian and, therefore, according to Paul, worthy of being considered a brather. 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 beloved brothed (w. 15-16).
Onesimus became Philemon's brotherwhen he became a Christian. Conversion to Christ, the
beginning of a life lived Chnbtian diseipleship, thus constitutes a new birth (d. 2 CorS:17; 1 Pet
1:3) which generates fratemity as the fundamental bond of family life and the basis of life in
society.
ln the Book of Genesis

(d. 1:27-28), we read that God made man male and female, and blessed

them so that they could increase and multiply. He made Adarn and Eve parents who, in response
to God's cornmand to be fruitful and rnultiply, brought about the first fratemity, that of Cain and
Abel. Cain and Abel were brothers beffiuse 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.

Butfraternifyalso embraces variety and differences between brothers and sisterc, even though
they are linked by birth and are of the same nature and dignity. As brothers and sisters, therefore,
all people are in relation with others, from whom they differ, but with whorn they share the same
origin, nafure and dignity- tn this way, fratemity constitutes the nefuvork of relations essential for
the building of the hurnan family created by God.
Tragically, between the first creation recounted in the Book of Genesis and the new birth in Christ
*first-bom
amqng many brethren" lRom
whereby believers become brothers and sisters of the
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 sisfers 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 frakicide. "Cain's murder of Abel bears tragic witness to his radical rejection of their vocation

to be brothers. Their story (cf. Gen4:1-16) brings out the difficult task to which all men and women
are called, to live a$ one, each taking care of the othef"pl
This was also the case with Noah and his children (cf. Gen 9:18-27\. Harn'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 bom of the sarne womb.
ln the account of the origins of the human family, the sin of estrangement from God, from the

father figure and from the brother, becornes an expression of the refusal of communion. lt gives
rise to a culture of enslavement (cf" Geng:25-27), with all its consequences extending from
generation to generation: rejection of others, their mistreatrnent, violations of their dignity and
fundarnentat rights, and institutionalized inequality. Hence, the need for constant conversion to the

Covenant, fulfilled by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, in the confidence that'lvhere sin increased,
grace abounded all the more... through Jesus Christ" (Rom 5:20-21). Christ, the beloved Son (cf.

Mt3:17), came to reveal the Father's love for humanity. Whoever hears the Gospel and responds
to the call to conversion becomes Jesus' "brother, sister and mothef' {Mt 12:5O), 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 personalfreedom: in a word,

without being freely c,onverted 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' (Acfs 2:38). All those who
responded in faith and with their lives to Peter's preaching entered into the fraternity of the first
Christian community

(cf.

(d. 1 Pet2:17;

Acts 1:15-16, 6:3, 15:23): Jews and Greeks, slaves and free

Cor12:13; Gal3:28). Differing origins and socialstatus 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; 1 Thess 4:9; Heb
1

13.1; 1 Pet 1:22: 2 Pet 1:7).

AII of this shows how the Good News of Jesus Christ, in whom God makes "all things new" (Reu
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
servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for allthat 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 bom into
slavery, as well as the conditions whereby a freeborn person could lose his or her freedom or
regain it. ln other words, the law itself admitted that some people were able or required to be
c.onsidered 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 servitude 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,

women and men of all ages

- are deprived

of freedom and are forced

to live in conditions akin to slavery.

the many men and women labourers, including minors, subjugated in different sectors,
whether formally or informally, in domestic or agricultura! workplaces, or in the manufacturing or
I think of

mining induetry; whether in countries where labour regulations failto comply with international
norms and minimum standards, or, equally illegally, in countries which lack legal protection for

workeps'rights.
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
1

abuse. ln a particular way, I think of those among them who, upon arriving at their destination after
a grqelling journey mqrked by fear and insecurity, are detained in at times inhumane conditions. I
think qf those among them, who for different social, political and economic reasons, are forced to
live clandestinely. My thoughts also tum 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 maniages and
those bequeathed to relatives of their deceased husbands, without any right to give or withhold
their consent.
Nor can I failto think of all those persons, minors and adults alike,who are made objects of

traffickingfor the sale of organs, for recruitment as saldiers,tor 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, tortured, 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 comjpts 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

likeness of God are deprived of their freedom, sold and reduced to being the property of others.
They are treated as means to an end.
Alongslde this deeper cause

- the rejectlon of another person's humanity -

there are other cuses

which help to explain contemporary forms of slavery. Among these, I think in the first place of
Wver$, underdevelopment and exclusion, espeeially when combined with a lack of aceess fo
educatian or scarce, even non-existetnt, employment oppoftunities. Not infrequently, the victims of
human traf$cking 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 networks are skilled in using modem rneans of
communication as a way of luring young men and women in various parts of the world.
Another rause of slavery is camtptian on the part of people willing to do anything for financial gain.

$lave labour and human trafficking ofren require the complicity of intermediaries, be they law
enforcement personnel, state officials, or civil and military institutions. "This occLlrs 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'.ff!
Further causes of slavery include armed conflicts, violence, criminal aativity and tenarism. Many
people are kidnapped in order to be sold, enlisted as combatants, or sexually exploited, while
others are forced to emigrate, leaving everything behind: their cot-rntry, home, property, and even
mernbers of their family" They are driven to seek an alternative to these tenible 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, comtption and their baneful oonsequences.

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 lwould 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 support to victims. These institutes work in very difficult situations, dominated at times by

violence, as they work to break the invisible chains binding victirns to traffickers and exploitersThose chains are made up of a series of links, each composed of clever psyehological ploys which
make the victims dependent on their exploiters. This is accomplished by blackmailand threats
made against them and their 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 task, which calls for @urager patience and perseverance, deserves 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 Iegal prosecution of perpetrators.
Moreover, since criminal organizations employ global networks to achieve their goals, efforts to
eliminate this phenomenon also demand a common and, indeed, a global effort on the part of
various sectors of society.
Sfafes must ensure that their own legislation truly respects the dignity of the human person in the
areas of migration, employment, 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 rehabititation of victims, ensure their personal safety, and include
effective means of enforcement which leave no room for conuption or impunity. The role of women
in society must also be recognized, not least through initiatives in the sectors of culture and social
communications.
lntergovernmental organizations, in keeping with the principle of subsidiarity, are called to
coordinate initiatives for combating the transnational networks of organized crime which oversee
the trafftcking 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.

Busrnessesplhave 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 social responsibility 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'.[,]

Organizations in civil society, for their part, have the task of awakening consciences and
promoting whatever steps are necessary for combating and uprooting the culture of enslavement.

ln recent years, the Holy See, attentive to the pain of the victims of trafftcking and the voice of the
religious congregations which assist them on their path to freedom, has increased its appeals to
the international community for cooperation and collaboration behueen different agencies in
putting an end to this scourge.l&lMeetings have also been organized to draw attention to the
phenomenon of human trafficking and to facilitate cooperation between various agencies,
including experts from the universities and international organizations, police forces from migrants'

countries of origin, transit, or destination, and representatives of ecelesial groups which work with
victims. lt is my hope that these efforts willcontinue to expand in years to come.
Glabalizing fnatemity, not slavery or indifference

6. ln her "proclamation of the truth of Christ's love in society",lQ! the Church con*tantly 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 family, 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 frorn the Darfur 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 Tree daughter of God" thanks to her faith, lived in religious

consecmtion and in service to others, especially the most lowly and helpless. This saint, who lived
at the turn of the twentieth century, is even today an oxemplary witness of hopell0lfor the many
victims of slavery; she can support the efforts of all those committed to fighting against this "open
wound on the body of mntemporary society, a scourge upon the body of Chrisf- [11]
ln the light of all this, I invite everyone, in accordance with his or her specific role and
responsibilities, to pracitice acts of fi:atemity towards those kept in a state of enslavennent. Let us
ask ourselves, as individuals and as communities, 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 rnuch 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 phenornenon which exceeds the competence of
any one community or country. ln 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
scourge of contemporary slavery, not to become accomplices to this evil, not to turn away from the
sufferings of our brothets and sisters, our fullow human beings, who are deprived of their freedom
and dignity. Instead, may we have the courage to touch the suffering flesh of Christ,ll2l revealed
in the faces of those countless persons whom he calls the least of these my brethren" (Mi25:40,
45).

We know that God will ask each of us: What did you do for your brother? (cf. Gen 4:9-10). The

globalization of indifference, which today burdens the lives of so many of our brothers and sisters,
requires all of us to forge a new worldwide solidarity and fraternity capable of giving them new
hope and helping them to adrrance with courage amid the problems of our time and the new
horizons which they disclose and which God places in our hands.
