This letter from the Justice Coalition of Religious (JCoR) expresses profound concern over the erosion of the international order, including violations of the UN Charter, threats to national sovereignty driven by resource extraction and economic greed, and the resulting hardships for vulnerable populations in conflict zones.
JCoR reaffirms its commitment to the sanctity of life, human dignity, and foundational UN documents like the Charter and Universal Declaration of Human Rights, echoing Pope Leo XVI’s emphasis on strengthening multilateralism amid current global challenges. The signatories, representing diverse congregations such as the Daughters of Charity, Dominicans, Maryknoll, and others, urge continued UN leadership to defend international law, foster dialogue, and promote justice, peace, and sustainable development.
This document serves as a call to action for renewed international cooperation and civil society partnership within the UN system.
