【慈幼通訊社 ─ 2010 8 20美國紐約訊】 ─ 八月十三日,紐約舉行聯合國青年國會會議,三百名來自世界各地的青年,共同發表一則稱為大憲章的文件,該文件結合了很多青少年的心血,花上多年才完成的。

Zenit 通訊社發佈了上述大憲章文件的撮要內容,並播出了這個聯合國盛大的場合,來自超過二十個南北美洲、歐洲、非洲及亞洲國家的青年參與其中。

這個論壇於一九八零年由 Femando Rielo 創立,他也是「依祂特使」(Identes)傳教士學院及「依祂特使」青年組織轄下的傳教士「依祂特使」 的創辦人。這一年,在 Fernando Rielo 基金,以及紐約聖約翰大學及厄瓜多爾洛哈科技大學的促進下,號召「依祂特使」青年。

在論壇主要部份,宣讀了「依祂特使」主席 Jesus Fernandez Hermandez 的信息;他在信息中邀請青年,以愛及友誼,去除各民族及國家中的障礙,他亦強調大憲章的主要範疇,在於以耶穌為榜樣,在生活中活出這些價值。

接著,榮休的紐約總主教Edward Egan樞機,讚揚青年編寫大憲章,作為建立現代社會的工具及參照。洛哈科技大學的院長兼校長 Jose Barbosa 教授,強調大憲章中所表達的理念與願景,正是以青年為主導而編寫成的。

大憲章文件主要由十項要點組成,青年按他們所願,編寫第三千年中所要構建的社會,以克服戰爭、襲擊生命、飢荒、不義、失業及環境問題。

文件建議改善生活的原則,縱使人們之間有重大分歧,也要渴望改善人類關係的不同範疇:人際關係、家庭、政治、經濟、環境、教育及社會網絡。

世界青年國會會議,堅決要向社會各範疇(政治、宗教等),宣揚這封信函,其目的無非是要作為世界各單一國家,編寫憲法的參照。
