International Commission for Justice, Peace and the Integrity of Creation

Mission of the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Commission

The International Commission for Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation (JPIC) is part of a current present throughout the Church that promotes a faith committed to the transformation of the world based on the Gospel. Inspired by this ecclesial call, in 1999 we created a permanent body to animate this dimension in its mission. In 2018, it was reorganized as an interprovincial commission, also reflecting the commitment to the care of creation. JPIC sensitizes, orients and articulates actions that promote justice, peace, solidarity and sustainability, in connection with concrete contexts and urgent realities.

The JPIC Commission is dedicated to

Weave awareness and connection networks that favor mutual knowledge and the approach to realities of injustice, exclusion and violation of rights, promoting a critical and solidary conscience.

To take a prophetic stance and act prophetically in situations that cry out for justice, through public denunciations, concrete gestures of solidarity and actions that announce and build the Kingdom of God.

Inspire the mission from the Social Doctrine of the Church, using its principles as a guide to interpret reality and respond to situations that contradict human dignity, justice, peace and care for creation.
