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 tenorism.
It is therefore necessary for the intemalional community to adopt adequate legal instruments to
prevent and counter criminal activities, by promoting intemalionalfudicial cooperation sn criminal
matters.

ln rafifying numerous international conventions in these areas, and acting also on behalf of
Vatican City $tate, the Holy See has con$tantly maintained that such agreenrents are effective
means to prevent criminalactivities that threaten human dignity, the common good and peace.
With a view to renewing the Apostolic See's comrnitment to cooperate to these ends, by means of
this Apostolic Letter issued Motu Prcprio,l establish that:
1. The competent Judicial Authorities of Vatican City State shall also exercise penaljurisdiction
OYT:

a) oimes committed against the sectrrity, the fundamental interests or ihe patrimony of the Holy
See;

b) erimos refened to:

- in Vatican Cib State Law No. Vlll, of 11 July 2013, coniaining Supplementary ftlams ofi Criminal

Law Matte.rs6
- in Vatican City Stete Law No. lX, of 11 July 2013, containing Amendments to the CriminalCade

and the CriminalProcedure Code:

when such crimes are committed by the persons referred to in paragraph 3 below, in the exercise
of their functions;
c) any rrlher crime whose prnseculion is required tly an international agreernent ratified by the

Holy See, if the perpetrator is physically present in the tenitory of Vatican City $tate and has net
been extradited.
2. The crimes refered to in paragraph 1 are to be judged pursuant to the criminal law in force in

Vatican City State at the tirne of their commission, without preiudice to the general principles of ihe
legal system on the temporal application of criminal laws.
3. For the purposes of Vatican criminal law, the following persons are deemed "public offieials":
a) mombars, ofticials and personnel of the various organs of the Roman Curia and of the
lnstitutions connected to it.
b) papal legates and diplomatic personnel of the Holy See.
c) those persons who serve as representatives, managers or directors, as well a* persons who

even de factomanage or exercise control over the entities direcfly dependent on the Holy See and
listed in the registry of canonical juridical persons kept by the Governorate of Vatican City State;
d) any other person holding an admini$trative or judicialmandate in the Holy See, permanent or
temporary, paid or unpaid, irrespective of that person's seniority.
4" The jurisdiction referred to in paragraph 1 comprises also the administrative liability of iuridical
persons arising from crimes, as regutated 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 shal! applv.

6- The coRtent of article 23 of Law No. CXIX of 21 November 1987, which approves the Judicial

Order of Vatican City State remains in ftrrce.

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

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 woman, 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,
eonflicts and the great suffering caused by human agency, by epidemics pasi and presenl, 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 willforthe advancement of harmony and
peace in the world, we rnay resist the temptation to act in a rnanner unworthy of our humani9.

, 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 thsm not as enemies
or rivals, but as brothers and sisters to be accepted and ernbraced".:

'

are by nature
relational beings, meant to lind fulfilment through interpersonal relationships inspired by justice
Since

!/ve

and love, it is fundamental for our hurnan development that our dignity, freedom and autonomy be
ac*nowledged and respected. Tragically, the growing $courge of man's exploitation by man
gravely darnages the life of communion and our calling to forge interpersonal relations marked by
respect, justice and krve. This abominabfe phenomenoR, which leads to contempt for ihe
fundamental rights of others and to the suppression of their teedom and dignity, takes many
forms. I would like briefly to considar these, so that, in the light ot Goct's word, t#e can consieter all
men and women 'no longer slaves, but brothers and sisterg.
Listening to Gad's plan tor humanity

2. The theme I have chosen for this year's rnessege is drawn from Saint Paul's letter to PhilemOn,
in which the Apostle asks his co-worker tO welcome Onesimuor fermerly Philemen's slave, ncv.l a

christian and, rherefere, according to Faul, worthy of being congidefgd g brather. The Apostle of
tne gen0les wmes: -Fernaps tnls ls lyny he yya$ paned frorn you for a while, that you mlght have
him back for ever, no longer as a slave bul more than a slave, as a beloved brother' (w. 15-16).
Onesimus became Philemon's brotherwhen he became a Christian- Conversion to Christ, the
beginning of a life lived Christian discipleshp, thus constitutes a new birth (cf. 2 CarS:17; 1 Pet
1:3) which generates fraternity asths fundamental bond of family life and the basis of life in
society.
ln the Book of Genesis (cf . 1:2?-2fl), 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 fmtemity, that of Cain and
Abel. Cain and Abel were brothers because they canne forth from the same womb. Consequentty
they had the same origin, nature and dignity as their parents, whs were created in the image and
likeness of God.
Butfratemity also ernbraces variety and differences between brothers and sisters, even though
they are linked by birth and are of the same nature and digni$. 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. ln this way, fraternityconstitutes the network of relations gsential for
the building of the human family created by God.
Tragically, between the first creation reeounted in the Book of Genesis and the new birth in Christ
whereby believers become brothers and sisters of the "first-bom among rnany brethren" (Rorr
8:29), there is the negative reality of sin, which often disrupts human fratemity and constantly

disfigures the beauty and nobility of our being brathers and sisters in the one human family. lt 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 diffcult task to which all rnen and women
are called, to live as one, each taking care of the othef'.,'
This was also lhe case wilh Noah and his children {ct. 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 bom of the same 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, becomes an expression of the refusal cf communion. lt gives
rise to a culture of enslavement (c{. Gen 9:25-27}, with all its consequencs extending from
generation to generation: rejection of cthers, their mistreatrnent, violations of their dignity and
fundamental rights, and institutionalized inequality. Hence, the need for constant conversion to the

nwhere

sin increased,
Covenant, fullilled by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, in the confidence that
grace abounded allthe more... through Jesus Christ" lRomS:2O-21). Christ, the beloved Son (cf.

,,/,te.i?r, eme to re-e-t rh- E=rf.-,!.1o.. fo, humanily. Whaeuef heare the GOSfgl And fe$p0nds
to the call to mnversion becomes Jesus' 'brothe4 sister and mothef (Mt 12:5A\ and lhus an
adopted scn of his Father (cf. Eph 1:5).
One does not become a Christian, a child cf the Father and a brother or sister in Ghrist, as the
result of an authoritative divine decree, without the exercise of personal freedom: in a word,
without being freelyconyerted to Christ. Becoming a child af God is necessarily linked to
conversion: "Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the narne of Jesus Christ for the
forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift <rf tha Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:?A). All those who
responded in faith and with their lives to Peter's preaching entered into the fraternityot the first
Christian community (ct-

Pet2:17:- Acts 1:15-16, 6:3, 15:23): Jews and Greeks, slaves and free

{et. 1 Cor 12:13: Gal3:28). Differing origins and social status did nol diminish enyone'$ dignity or
exclude aRyone 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 1 2:1 S; I Thess 4:9; Heb
13:1; 1 Pet 1:22: 2 Pet 1:7j.
All of this shows how the Good News of Jesus Christ, in whom God makes "a!l things new" {Rev
21:5), ,1 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 sf
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 lhave made known to you" (Jn 1515),
The many faces of slavery yesterday and today

3. Frorn time immemorial, different societies have known the phenomenon of man's subjugation by
man. There have been periods of human hi$tory in which the institution of slavery was generally
accepted and regulated by law. This legislation dictated who was born free and who was bern inta
slavery, as well as the conditions whereby a freebom person could lose hls or her freedom or
regain it. ln other words, the law itself admitted that some people were able or required to be
considered the

propefi

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 grovuth in our a\ArarenBss, slavery, seen as a crime against humanity,:.1
has been lormally abolished throughout the world. The right of each person nol to be kept in a
state of slavery or servitude has been recognized in intemational law as inviolable.
Yat, aven though the intemationalcommunity nas adopted nurnerouo agreement$ aimed at ending
slavery in all its forms, and has launched various strategies to combat this phenomenon, millions

of people today- chi6ren, women and men of all ages

ta live in conditions akin to slavery.

are deprived of freedom and are forced

I think of lhe many men and we,T,en labourers, including rninors, subjugatedin different sectrrrs,

nhether fonnally or informally, in domestic or agricultural Yvorkplaces, or in the manufacturing or

mining industry; wlrether in countries where labour regulations fail to comply with intemational
norms and rninimum standards, or, equally illegally, in countries which lack leEal protection far
workers'rights.
I think also of the living conditions af many migrants who, in their dramatic odyssey, experience

hunger, are deprived of freedom, robbed of their possessions, or undergo physleal and sexual
abuse. ln a particular way, I think of those among them wfuo, uBon aniving at their destination after
a gruelling journey mqrked by fear and insecurity, are detained in at times inhumane conditions. I
think of those arnong them, who for different soeial, 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 labou/',

of persans forced into prwtitution, many of whom are minors, as vyell as male and
female sex slaves.l think of women forced into maniage, those sold for ananged marriages and

I think also

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, minarc and adalts alike, who are made objects of

traffickingfor the sale of argans,tor recruitment as soldiers,tar begging, for illegalactivities such
as lfie praduetion and salc of nareotics, or lor disguised forms of crass-border adaption.
Finally, I think of all those kidnapped and held captive by tenaist groups. subiected 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 scld several times over, tortured, mutilated or
killed.

Some deeper causes af slavery

4. Today, as in the past, slavery is raoted in a notion of the human perscn which allows him or her
to be treated as an object. Whenever sin comJpts the human heert ano dtstances us from our
Creator and our neighbours, the latter are no longer regarded as beings of equal dignity, as
brothero or si$ters sharing a common humanity, but rather as objects, Whether by coercion or
deception, or by physicalor psycholryical duress, human persons created in the image antl

likeness of God are deprived of their freedsm, sold and reduced to being the

propefi of others.

They are trealed as means to an end.

Alongside this deeper cause - the rejection of another person's humaniqr - there are other causes
which help to explain contemporary forms of slavery. Among these, I think in the first place of
povefi4 underdevelopment and exclusion, eepecially when esmbined with a tack of access to

educationar scarce, even non-existent, employment oppottunities. Not infrequently, the victims of
human trafficking and slavery are people who look tor a way oul 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 modern means of
communication as a way of luring young men and women in various parts of the world.
Another cause of slavery is comtption on the part of people willing to do anything for financial gain.

$lave labour and human trafficking often require the complicity of intermediaries, be they law
enforcement personnel, state officials, or civil and military institutione. "This occurs when money,
and not the human person, is at the centre of an economic system. Yes, the pers6n, made in the
image of Goct and charged with dominion over all creation. must be at the ceftlre of every $ocial or
eccnomic system. When the person is replaced by mammon, a subversion of values oecur$".,:
_

Further causes of slavery include armed conflicts, violence, crtminal activity and terrorism. Many
people are kidnapped in order to be sold, enlisted as combatants, or sexually exploited, while
others are forced to ernigrate, leaving everything behind; lheir country, home, proper$, and even
members of their family. They are driven to seek an altemative 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, com.rption and their baneful conseguences.

sharod commitmantto ending slavery

5. Often, when considering the reality of hurnan trafficking, illegal trafficking of migrants and ather
acknowledged or unacknawledEed 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 enonnous and often silent efforts which
have been made for many years by religious congregations, especially women'G 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 bincting victims to traffickers and exploiters,
Those chains are made up of a series of links, each cornposed of clever psychological ploys whieh
make the victims dependent on their exploiters. This is accomplished by blackmail and threats
made against them and their loved ones, but also by mncrete acts such as the confiscation of
their idantity documents and physical violence. The activity of religious oongregations is carried
out in three main erees: in offering assistance to victims, in working fortheir psychol@ical and

edueetional rehabilitation, and in efforts to reintegrate them into the society where they live or from
whicn mey have come.
This irnrnense taslt, rarhich call:s fsr cour=rge, palience and glerseverarrcer 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 ia also need for a threefold commitmeni on the
instrtufional levei lo prevention, to victim protection and to the legal prosecution cf psrpetrators.
Moreover, since criminal organizations employ global networks to achieve their goals, efforts to
etiminate this phenomenon also demand a common and, indeed, a globaleffort 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 wltich are centred on the human
person, uphold fundarnental rights and restore those rights when lhey have bean 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 comrption or irnpunity. 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 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.
Eusrnessesr.,_ 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 social responsibility of businesses, there is
also the socia/ responsibility of consumers, Every person ought to have the awareness thal
"purchasing is always a moral - and not simply an econofflic - act".: '
Organizations in civit society, for their part, have the task of awakening consciences and
promoting whatever steps are necessary for combating and upraoting the culture of enslavement.
ln recent years, 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 appeal$ to
the internationalcommunity for eooperation and collaboration between difierent agencies in
putting an end to this scourg.r,;., Meetings have also been organized to draw attention to the
phenomenon of human trafficking aild to facilitate cooperatioa between Yarious agencie$,
including experts from lhe universities and international organizations, police for*es from migrants'

countries of origin, transit, or deetination, end reptesentatives oi ecclesiel groups which work with
victims. lt is my hope that these efforts will continue to expand in years to come'
Globalizing {rcternity, not slavery ar indillerenoe
6. ln her "proclamation of the truth of Chrisfs love in societyr",r.',:1 the Church constantly engages in
charitable activities inspired by the truth of the human person. $he is charged with showing io all
the path to conversion, which enables us to change the way ne see our neighbours, to recsgnize
in every othor person a brother or sister in our human family. and to acknowledEe 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 Darfur region in Sudan who was kidnapped by slave traffickers and
$old to brutal masters when $he ura$ fiine yeers cld. $ubsequently - as a result of painful
she became a "free daughter of God" thanks to her faith, lived in religious
consecration and in service to others, especially the most lowly and helpless" This saint, who lived
at the tum of the twentieth century, is even today an exemplary witness of hope: ' ii: for the many
victims of slavery; she can support the efforts of all those committed to fighting against this "open
experiences

uround on the body of contemporary society, a scourgc upon the body of Christ".

rl

ln the Iight of all this, I invite everyone, in accordance vvilh his or her specific role and
responsibilities, to practice aets of fratemity towards those kept in a state of en$lavement. Let u$
ask ourselves, as individuals and as communitie$, whether we feel challenged when, in our daily
lives, we meet or deal with porsons who could be victims of human trafftcking, 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 vye are caught up in our daily concems, close our
eyes to this. Others, however, decide to do sornething about it, tio join civie assoeiations 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 lhat we are facing a globat phenomenon which exceeds the competence of
any one communi$ or country. ln order to eliminate it, we need a mobilization comparable in size
to that of the phenomenon itself. For this reaeon I urgently appeal to all men and women of good
will, and all tho$e near or far, including the highest levels of civil institutions, who witness the
scourge of contemporary slavery, not io becorne accomplices to this evil, not to turn away from the
sufferings of our brothers and sisters, our fellow human beings, who are deprived of their freedom
and dignig. lnstead, may we have the courage to touch the suffering flesh of Christ, , 'r revealed
in the faces of those countless persorls whom he calls 'the least of these my brethren" (Mt25:44,
45).
We know that God will ask eaeh of us: What did you ds for your brother? (cf . Gen 4:9-10). The

globalization of indifference, which today burclens the live* of so manlr of our br<rthers and sisters,
and ffatsmity Cap0ble of giving lhem new
hope and helping thm to advance with courage amid the prcblems of our lime and the ne$,
requrres

al of us to forge a new worldwide s0lidgfity

horizons which rhey dlsclose and which Gcrd places in our hands"
