Message from the International Co-Presidents

Financial Results 14

During 2013, Pax Christi International took important steps toward the integration of its widespread, seasoned global network. During his first full year in office, Secretary General Jose Henriquez dedicated significant energy to exploring the strengths and priorities of Pax Christi sections and Member Organisations. With a deep commitment to achieving cultures of peace through active nonviolence and just reconciliation, he brought expertise in planning and evaluation to our movement and has initiated processes to make Pax Christi’s work – from regional programmes to international advocacy – more effective.

Also in 2013, we began to build a broader, more diverse base of financial support to ensure long-term financial viability for Pax Christi International and to make possible some essential organisational growth in the coming few years. The launch of a first-ever major donor campaign was successful and holds promise for expansion in several countries. An independent, non-profit organisation, the Pax Christi Fund for Peace, was established in the United States to accept tax-exempt contributions for the international work of Pax Christi.

At the same time, the attention and concern of our movement was focused on violent conflicts in the Middle East, particularly in Syria and Palestine. Pax Christi’s regional network in Latin America matured, as member organisations built capacity to resolve conflicts nonviolently in mining-affected communities and studied the potential impact in the region of the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. We renewed long-term relationships in Central and Eastern Europe that have helped our movement understand the challenge of sustainable peace in countries buffeted by war and geopolitical tensions. And we had good interaction with member organisations in Asia and the Pacific, making more visible their excellent work for peace in that part of the world.

As a Catholic peace movement with many years of experience and a network present in local communities on five continents, we continued to be intentional about nurturing and sharing the spirituality that sustains our work for peace in various ways in different cultures and situations.

The election of Jorge Bergoglio as Pope Francis I early in 2013 nourished the hope of Pax Christi members around the world. His words and witness have underscored the importance of the Gospel call to peace and the urgent need to create the sustainable peace for which Pax Christi International continues to strive.

Latin America and the Caribbean

Pax Christi International strives to foster synergies for peace among Latin American and Caribbean Member Organisations and among other regional civil society networks. In Colombia, Pax Christi participated in monthly meetings of the Ecumenical Committee for Peace in order to prepare for the conference: “From an ethic for peace to a peace with ethics.” The conference held on 18-19 May brought together three hundred participants in order to reflect on the role of churches and other faith-based organisations in building a sustainable peace in Colombia, and their active participation in the peace negotiations in Havana between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.

Also in Colombia, Pax Christi collaborated in the preparations for the National Peace Week, held in September, together with the National Network of Initiatives for Peace and Against the War (REDEPAZ), the Justice and Peace Commission of the Conference of Religious of Colombia (CRC) and the Ecumenical Group of Women Peacemakers. The Peace Week included peace vigils, conferences, concerts, and many other activities.

In Paraguay, Pax Christi International co-sponsored an international fact-finding mission which aimed to assess the human rights situation of rural and indigenous areas under the implementation of the National Defence and Security Law. The mission comprised forty-three representatives of organisations, networks and institutions of Sweden, the United States, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

In Mexico, Pax Christi facilitated a workshop aimed at developing the Strategic Plan 2014-2015 for the Global Partnership for the Prevention of Armed Conflict (GPPAC) North America coalition. Pax Christi also met with representatives of Servicios y Asesoría para la Paz (SERAPAZ) and members of the Movement for Peace, Justice and Dignity to discuss collaboration in the joint campaign of GPPAC and PAX, under the topic “Human Security First: Free from fear, conflict and violence.”

Central and Eastern Europe

The encounter “Drawing from History – Transforming the Present – Creating a Future for Peace” brought together participants from Poland, the Russian Federation, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the US, El Salvador and South Africa who met to explore the lasting impact and the possibilities for regional reconciliation and peace after World War II and the Nazi occupation; the era of Soviet communism and the dissolution of the Soviet Union; and the 1990 wars in the former Yugoslavia. Of particular concern to participants was the role of the church in promoting or failing to promote reconciliation, including among faith communities themselves. The gathering was co-organised by the Klub Inteligencji Katolickiej of Warsaw, Renovabis, and the Parish Twinning Program between the Hague and Warsaw. The encounter strengthened relations with Member Organisations in Eastern Europe.

Network Building

Global

Representatives of the Pax Christi sections met in Germany with an agenda which included the renewal of the international leadership structures for 2013-2016, strengthening the movement through knowledge-sharing and the planning of coordination around core issues. In addition to that, possibilities of a new Pax Christi presence in Iraq were discussed.

The 50th anniversary of the Encyclical “Pacem in Terris,” the Magna Carta of Pax Christi International, also offered opportunities for networking at a global level. In April, a delegation attended the conference organised by the Catholic Peace-building Network. The topic was Catholic peace-building and US foreign policy and it was held at the Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. In October, our international Co-Presidents delivered a good-will message during a meeting organised by the Pontifical Council of Justice and Peace. In Rome, experts from Catholic universities and institutions, the UN, the Council of Europe, the African Union, and the Organisation of American States gathered to highlight the relevance of the encyclical in the peace-building efforts of today’s world.

In support of reconciliation processes in Colombia, the Pax Christi regional coordinator actively participated in the VI National Congress of Reconciliation “Conversations on peace building,” organised by the Bishops’ Conference of Colombia.

Religious and civil society leaders from Central and Eastern Europe came together in Poland to discuss different processes towards peace and reconciliation in their communities and ways to promote transformative democracy within a framework of peace spirituality.

The visits of José Henríquez, Secretary General, to Pax Christi sections strengthen the shared mission of our network and allow strategising for future collaboration.

International Co-President Marie Dennis visited Pax Christi young female leaders in Miriam College in Manila who talked about their experience of working with a Muslim sister school in Mindanao, changing their own perceptions of Muslims with a positive impact on the whole school and their families.

Based on the expertise and experience widely present in the Member Organisations, Pax Christi International contributed to the discussion in the 37th session of UNESCO on its leadership role in defining the development objectives that will replace the Millennium Development Goals in the areas of education, science, culture, communication and information.

Pax Christi significantly raised its social media presence, allowing our members to bring their grassroots stories to life and make their work and impact widely visible.

During Advent and Christmas 2013, Pax Christi International members and people of good-will sent messages of hope and encouragement to our friends in Bethlehem.

The International Secretariat collaborated with Pax Christi Italy in the youth summer camp “Cities, not military bases.” Participants met with the “Popular Movement of Non-Violent Resistance” of Vicenza.

Several initiatives aimed to strengthen the capacities of Members and other civil society organisations to engage in non-violent conflict transformation and advocacy around natural resource extraction projects, violence against women in conflict and post-conflict situations, and human trafficking. Through processes built around training trainers, collective learning, gender sensitivity, and practical approaches from the global to the local level, civil society organisations gained creative and comprehensive new insights into the work they do in the concrete realities of their communities.

Non-violent conflict transformation

In Latin America and the Caribbean, Pax Christi promoted a research process which aimed to promote understanding of available regional resources and strategies for the defence of the commons, as preparation for a regional plan based on the Rio+20 Summit. This plan designed a pilot project whereby local communities living in areas of resource extraction will be accompanied in order to strengthen their capacity to transform conflicts through active non-violence, including tools such as negotiation, dialogue, and advocacy. The project is meant to continue in 2014.

The project was launched in October with a Training-of-Trainers Workshop in Bogota with the participation of representatives from Member Organisations and community leaders coming from Guatemala, Peru and Colombia. During the workshop, participants shared experiences related to conflicts they are facing, analysed the context of conflict areas (from the perspective of the communities), and learned methodologies for non-violent conflict transformation. Additional workshops on non-violent conflict transformation from a community-based approach were organised in Chile, El Salvador and Mexico in coordination with Member Organisations and other partners.

Pax Christi International published and distributed educational materials, including a non-violence handbook and a book on the effects of mining in communities located in Northern Peru. The distribution was often accompanied by opportunities to share both pedagogical skills and experiences of non-violent active participation in contexts of social conflict.

Women, peace and security

Pax Christi International, in partnership with UNESCO, developed a short-term project which aimed to raise awareness of the importance of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 (R1325) on Women, Peace and Security, and about the necessity of elaborating National Plans of Action in Latin America and the Caribbean. The project was launched with a seminar in Panama with representatives of civil society organisations from nine countries: El Salvador, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Chile, Panama, Guatemala, Colombia and Nicaragua.

The seminar took place in February. In addition to exploring R1325, participants reflected on the impact of human trafficking and its relationship with peace-building and human rights work. The seminar provided space for participants to plan and prepare to lead national workshops on these topics. Throughout 2013, national workshops took place in Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Peru, the Dominican Republic and Guatemala. A statement prepared by participants in the seminar was used as part of the preparation for those workshops which reached over 350 people.

A handbook on UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security was published to serve as a reference and an educational tool for Member Organisations and other civil society organisations. It aims to educate civil society organisations on different topics connected to R1325: content, implications, implementation experiences and lessons learned on the continent. The document can also be used as a background document for advocacy initiatives at a national level. In addition to that, a regional blog will be published online, and it will be a sharing platform and a connecting space for Member Organisations and other groups on topics around women, peace and security, including R1325, human trafficking, and women’s contributions as peacemakers.

Capacity Building

In August, Pax Christi organised a workshop in Guatemala on Nonviolent Conflict Transformation using a community-based approach, in collaboration with the Conference of Religious Women and Men of Guatemala and local communities accompanied by them in conflict areas.

The publication “Ya no es verde como antes” on mining projects in San Mateo de Huanchor, Peru, documents the impact of mining on local communities and offers new insights in the urgent need of addressing mining conflicts locally and regionally.

Pax Christi members reflected on how to strategise around and use social media and new information technologies for campaigning and advocacy for peace.

The manual “Women, Peace and Security” is an educational tool to promote the implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in the Latin America & Caribbean region.

A workshop on Women, Peace and Security was organised in Panama City as part of Pax Christi International’s strategy to use advocacy as a tool for change concerning gender inequality, conflict and security issues and human trafficking. There were representatives from Colombia, Chile, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama and Peru.

Sharing experiences on healing and how to deal with the violent past is a focus of Pax Christi encounters in Central and Eastern Europe. The principle of “the preferential option for the poor” challenges nations and communities in a society to understand and implement the process of justice primarily from the perspective of the victims.

Pax Christi International stood in solidarity with Tutela Legal, closed down by decision of the Archbishop of San Salvador. Tutela was one of the historical partners of Pax Christi International. Its founding director, María Julia Hernández, belonged to the International Board of Pax Christi International.

Pax Christi participated in the Ecumenical Forum for Peace in Bogota, Colombia, where leaders of various Christian churches gathered in support of an ethical framework in the context of the current dialogues between the government and the FARC.

Advocacy and Campaigning Calling for a just peace in Syria

Through national and international campaigns, solidarity letters, prayer services, fasting vigils, and numerous appeals, Pax Christi International has been calling on the UN, the EU, and intergovernmental and non-governmental bodies for diplomatic efforts to stop the flow of arms, to provide immediate humanitarian aid and to bring all stakeholders in the conflict to the negotiating table. We have also been calling upon religious leaders, regardless of the specific community to which they belong, to use their moral authority to speak clearly and with urgency in private and in public for an end to violence.

As Syria’s war intensified and began to spill across the border into Lebanon, a small Pax Christi International delegation visited the Shatila refugee camp in Beirut to deliver solidarity messages sent to the people of Syria from around the world. The messages represented many hundreds of people who participated in Pax Christi’s “Bread Is Life campaign: Solidarity Fast for Syria.” This campaign, which took place during Lent 2013, called on all Pax Christi members and friends worldwide to raise awareness on the plight of the Syrian civilian population, to join in a global act of solidarity through prayer and fasting, to send the Syrian people messages of support, and to advocate for effective humanitarian assistance.

Human security and disarmament

On nuclear disarmament, Pax Christi published two background papers: “Abolition of Nuclear Weapons and the Need for Nuclear Weapons Free Zones” and “The Humanitarian consequences of Nuclear Weapons.” Both have been used to support Member Organisations’ advocacy efforts toward a world without nuclear weapons. Pax Christi has also been active in campaigns such as the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN).

Pax Christi International has also been advocating for the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in alliance with many international partners, including the World Council of Churches’ Ecumenical ATT working group and the Control Arms coalition. Pax Christi was present in New York when the Arms Trade Treaty opened for signature in June at the UN headquarters.

New advocacy initiatives Pax Christi created an International Advocacy Working Group in Washington DC to structure advocacy efforts towards intergovernmental bodies such as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Organisation of American States. One of its goals is also to address the US government on certain foreign policy issues. Pax Christi International also joined the NGO Working Group of the UN Security Council. Both initiatives are meant to enhance the advocacy capacity of our international network.

Advocacy at the UN Pax Christi continued to use its status at the UN to raise the concerns of Member Organisations. At the 22nd Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Pax Christi submitted a written intervention on the human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories. Pax Christi also delivered a statement at the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention Meeting of Experts in Geneva. The statement addressed three standing agenda items (1) cooperation and assistance; (2) developments in the field of science and technology related to the Convention; and (3) strengthening national implementation; as well as the biennial item of how to enable greater participation in confidence-building measures.

Pax Christi International attended regular discussions with the UN Commission for Social Development, the UN Commission on the Status of Women with focus on the “Elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls,” the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, the Committee of Religious NGOs (chaired by Pax Christi International), the UN High-Level Forum on the Culture of Peace and the Post-2015 Development Agenda.

In joint efforts with partners and coalitions, Pax Christi co-signed and endorsed statements addressed to the UN on the right to peace, poverty eradication, social integration, full employment, decent work for all, and on the issue of migration.

Pax Christi International pleaded for an end to the over-funding of military establishments and for the creation of new funds to tackle poverty, human insecurity and other common threats to the planet at the 13th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in Warsaw in October.

Together with the European Network for Central Africa, Pax Christi have advocated on the situation in the Great Lakes region of Africa and called upon the European Union and its member states to recognise the indicators of fragility of development in Rwanda. The European Union was urged to develop a clear stance on the question of a constitutional revision while providing all necessary measures to assist and protect human rights defenders and their organisations whenever necessary.

Sister Filo Hirota, board member of Pax Christi International and the Japan Catholic Council for Justice and Peace, read messages of solidarity at the peace gathering in Tokyo in May, calling the Japanese government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to keep and protect Article 9 in the constitution.

In close cooperation with partners such as the World Council of Churches, Pax Christi members continuously drew the world’s attention to the plight and injustice of those suffering in the Holy Land. Many members joined campaigns to plead for peace and organised activities within the World Week for Peace of prayer, education and advocacy in Palestine/Israel.

During the violent turn of events in Egypt, Pax Christi called for an end to violence from all sides and expressed solidarity with the Coptic Evangelical Organisation for Social Services, a Member Organisation in Cairo. When violence escalated in South Sudan leading to hundreds of deaths and the displacement of tens of thousands of people, Pax Christi expressed its deep concern and called for social harmony.

Pax Christi actively supported the campaign, which led to the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty by overwhelming vote by the UN General Assembly on 2 April, 2013.

Pax Christi joined the European Network for Central Africa in welcoming Mary Robinson as the UN Special Representative for the Great Lakes region is support of the Peace Framework signed in February 2013.

Peace Award

The 2013 Pax Christi International Peace Award was granted to the International Memorial Society for its outstanding work in keeping alive the memory of the victims of political repression in Russia’s recent history.

Since its inception in the late 1980s the International Memorial Society has been committed to preserving the historical truth about the crimes of totalitarianism and the resistance to it, perpetuating the memory of victims, and offering social support to survivors. By doing this, International Memorial helps support transitional justice efforts and reconciliation processes, as well as the construction of a re-imagined political community, paving the way for future generations and the prevention of future violence.

Pax Christi International also acknowledged Memorial’s comprehensive work in the field of human rights. Through the work of over 60 member organisations, Memorial reveals a continuing dedication to bringing Russian society closer to the ideals of democracy through the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms.

Memorial’s member organisations are widely engaged in research, education, and advocacy. The International Memorial Society is also a vivid promoter of youth engagement in educational initiatives to increase awareness of history.

Member Organisations and partners in Russia brought to the attention of Pax Christi International the increasing lack of freedom for civil society organisations in Russia. In 2012, the Russian parliament passed a law requiring NGOs who receive any type of funding from abroad and engage in political activities to register as “foreign agents”. In light of that pressure, the award also symbolised Pax Christi International’s solidarity with all defenders of human rights within the International Memorial Society, and with the Russian human rights community at large.

Pilgrimage to Auschwitz

Pax Christi’s commitment to non-violence was reaffirmed in a pilgrimage to Auschwitz which took place in May and brought together representatives from all over the world. Participants listened to the testimony of an Auschwitz survivor, which evoked in each participant a renewed, deeper commitment to ensure that such atrocities never happen again. Participants were acutely aware that brutality in a myriad of forms continued throughout the 20th century – in Southeast Asia, Central America, Africa, and the Middle East – and into the 21st century as well. The spirituality of transformative justice and democracy was presented while comparing the historical situation of South Africa to that of Central and Eastern Europe. Time was dedicated to a biblical perspective on transformative justice and democracy. The broader focus of Pax Christi International on peace spirituality and peace theology found important inputs in this encounter.

Deepening the reflection on peace spiritualityContinuing the more systematic work of Pax Christi International on peace spirituality, an ad hoc Working Group agreed on steps toward continuing the process which was set in motion in 2008: (a) continue to gather stories of lived peace spirituality, (b) reflect on the experiences of those stories in order to more profoundly articulate Pax Christi’s peace spirituality, and (c) initiate a process toward a systematic theological reflection on these stories. Members of the group and the International Secretariat started identifying theologians and grass-roots communities, as well as approaching peace centers, Catholic universities and religious congregations.

Peace spirituality at the local levelDifferent Pax Christi sections have also engaged in enriching exchanges about the important role of spirituality in their work for peace. They have done so through interfaith workshops for youth, retreats and pilgrimages, and annual peace weeks. They are also promoting reflection on the legacy of witnesses who have given new perspectives to their commitment to peace and non-violence: among others, Franz Jägerstätter (Austria), Bishop Tonino Bello (Italy), and Father Franz Stock (France).

Peace Spirituality

Pax Christi honoured Fr. Roman Indrzejczyk in an ecumenical prayer service at the Reformed Church in the centre of Warsaw. Fr. Roman, a friend of Pax Christi, played a crucial role in the ecumenical dialogue in Warsaw. He was part of a number of platforms created to work together on justice and peace in an ecumenical context. The main focus of the work has been on reconciliation and the healing process.

In Auschwitz, participants walked on ground made holy by horrific suffering. The pilgrimage was organised in close collaboration with the Centre for Dialogue and Prayer which was founded for all those who were touched by what happened in the Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp.

“Working for sustainable peace, justice and transformation can take inspiration from spirituality and from an analysis of the meaning of justice which can be relevant and helpful no matter what our context and challenges might be.” Msgr. Kevin Dowling, Co-President. A delegation of Pax Christi visited the Jewish Cemetery

in Warsaw and the borders of the Jewish Ghetto.

“Pax Christi believes that acknowledging the truth about a violent past that generated contemporary problems is essential to building peace now and for the future. This truth must reflect the experience of victims and survivors of the violence.” Marie Dennis, Co-President.

The Peace Award Ceremony took place in Leuven in November. Mr. Arseny Roginskiy, Co-Founder and President of the Board, and Mr. Alexandre Cherkasov, Head of the Human Rights Center, attended the event and accepted the award.

At the occasion of the meeting of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of “Pacem in Terris,” the Co-Presidents met with Pope Francis. The encyclical remains “extremely contemporary” and can act as a guide to peace-building in today’s world, Pope Francis said.
