One is meant for active pastoral engagement with migrants and refugees. The other expanded presentation is for use in advocacy and negotiation with national governments to influence the Global Compacts on Migrants and on Refugees currently being developed.

Instituted by Pope Paul VI in 1968, the World Day of Peace is celebrated each year on the 1st of January. The Pope gives a special Message for the occasion. It indicates the Holy See’s diplomatic emphasis during the coming year and is sent to all the foreign ministries around the world. For 2018, Pope Francis has written about “Migrants and refugees: seekers of peace”.
