THE HOLY SEE: "THE WEAKNESS OF MULTILATERALISM" AND "DOUBTS" ON THE POSSIBILITY TO REACH THE GOALS OF THE MILLENNIUM (2)

Another challenge of the globalized society – it is written in the document of the body of the Holy See – concerns "insufficient and ineffective" aids, much lower "with respect to the objective of allocating 0.7% of the GDP of developed countries for international aid". Moreover, it is denounced by the Papal Academy of Social Sciences, "the given aid has often been ineffectively distributed and badly used by international organizations, governments and local agencies". Among the "worrisome signs of the times", on which the plenary assembly is going to meditate, there is "the new emergence of nationalism": "In developing and developed countries – it is written in the preparatory document, – there are signs of crisis about two key characteristics of the globalization process: the first is a human problem linked with the increased legal and illegal emigration, and the consequent political resistance to it; the second is economic, and in relation to the tensions between protectionism and free trade". ” ” ” “
