Visión y Misión

Visión

Una comunidad global construida sobre valores franciscanos, en la cual se respete la dignidad de todas las personas; se compartan los recursos equitativamente; el medio ambiente sea sostenido y las naciones y pueblos vivan en paz.

Misión

Somos una voz franciscana en las Naciones Unidas que protege a los vulnerables, a los olvidados y a nuestra tierra herida.

Advocacy Focus

The ministry of Franciscans International at the United Nations flows from its Vision. 

Our priority areas are:

• Extreme poverty
• Environment
• Peace-building

FI addresses these issues from an integrated rights-based approach. To do this FI uses the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) as the primary mechanism for advocacy work at the UN. 

As part of the UPR process, FI solicits issues of concern from Franciscans working at the grassroots, voices these concerns at the UN, and reports back to the Franciscan Family on progress made at the UN, who then in turn monitor these developments at the national level.

FI further supports the Franciscan Family with issue and country-specific workshops relevant to these issues.
