TESTIMONIO CRISTIANO Y ACCIÓN POR LA DIGNIDAD Y LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS (declaración)

El Espíritu del Señor está sobre mí,

porque me ha ungido

para anunciar buenas nuevas a los pobres;

me ha enviado para proclamar libertad a los cautivos

y vista a los ciegos,

para poner en libertad a los oprimidos

y para proclamar el año agradable del Señor.

(Lucas 4:18-19)

La declaración reconoce que el actual contexto mundial está marcado por el aumento de los conflictos, las divisiones y las desigualdades; por el resurgimiento del racismo, los ataques xenófobos a las personas migrantes, el antisemitismo, las violaciones de los derechos de la mujer y otras formas de discriminación, y por las amenazas contra las personas que defienden los derechos humanos, así como por el autoritarismo, el nacionalismo populista y las formas de extremismo religioso y de otros tipos, que constituyen un serio peligro para la seguridad física y la dignidad y los derechos humanos de diversas comunidades y personas en todo el mundo.

Christian Witness and Action for Human Dignity and Human Rights (statement)

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,

because he has anointed me

to bring good news to the poor.

He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives

and recovery of sight to the blind,

to let the oppressed go free,

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.

(Luke 4:18-19)

The current global context is marked by escalating conflicts, divisions, inequalities, resurgent racism, xenophobic attacks on migrants, antisemitism, violations of the rights of women and other forms of discrimination, threats against human rights defenders, as well as authoritarianism, populist nationalism, and religious and other forms of extremism, that threaten grave peril for the physical security and human dignity and rights of diverse communities and individuals around the world.
