From the book of Genesis to the Charter of Human Rights ("The human person, heart of peace." Benedict XVI)

Abstract

In the current world crisis, it is important to review the message of Pope Benedict XVI, delivered during the world peace conference, in order to question what is the way toward a more human world. In this sense, the author also resorts to some key elements of the thought of mahatma Ghandi and Saint Francis of Assisi, the Human Rights Declaration and the Millenium Declaration. As the author says, “now we know where we should not go; now we know which are the false solutions. We have the half part of the solution for not being wrong again”.
