The Middle East & Human Rights

With the support of the information received from the Franciscans of the Custody of the Holy Land, we are engaged in denouncing the human rights and humanitarian abuses that the construction of a separation wall between Israel and the Palestinian territories are causing. Though we condemn terrorist attacks against Israelis, we believe that only the end of the occupation will bring a just and durable peace in the region.

Also the need to redress the appalling conditions in which migrant workers from Asia and Africa are forced to live in Lebanon or Jordan are at the core of our advocacy initiatives.
