The United Nations (UN) adopted a new international legal instrument in November 2000, the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, supplementing the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. This contained a new definition of traf...ficking in persons and more particularly defined what was to be understood by child trafficking. The issue of human trafficking in general, and trafficking in children in particular, was highly relevant during the subsequent decade and anti-trafficking projects and initiatives attracted a great deal of funding. However, by the end of the decade, when funding declined, it was still not clear how much had been achieved.

Les maladies infectieuses comme le COVID-19 peuvent perturber l’environnement dans lequel les enfants grandissent et se développent. Les bouleversements qui affectent les familles, les relations avec les amis, les routines quotidiennes et l’ensemble de la communauté peuvent avoir des répercus...sions négatives sur le bien-être, le développement et la protection des enfants. En outre, les mesures appliquées pour prévenir et contrôler la propagation du COVID-19 peuvent exposer les enfants à des risques pour leur protection. Les mesures de quarantaine et d’isolement au domicile ainsi que dans des installations ou des zones spécifiques peuvent affecter de façon négative les enfants et leur famille.
L’objectif du présent document est d’aider les professionnels de la protection de l’enfance à mieux faire face aux risques dans ce domaine lors d’une pandémie de COVID-19. La première partie présente les risques potentiels pour la protection de l’enfance auxquels le COVID-19 peut exposer les enfants. La seconde partie décrit des options programmatiques conformes à l’édition 2019 des Standards minimum de protection de l’enfance dans l’action humanitaire (SMPE) et à la Note d’information : Protection des enfants lors d’épidémies de maladies infectieuses (en anglais).

There is no question that over the last thirty years environmentaldegradation and the ecological crisis have become in our day and age apredominant sign of the times. In response to this worrisome develop-ment official documents of the Roman Catholic Church, at various lev-els, have sought to addres...s the growing ecological concern from theperspective of Catholic social teaching. Consequently references to ecol-ogy and environmental issues have surfaced in papal encyclicals duringthe last fifteen years generating national and regional responses. In theUnited States, for example, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops hasissued two pastoral statements on environmental issues in 1991 and2001. Significantly, the Catholic Bishops of the Pacific Northwest, rep-resenting Canada and the U.S. have also issued a unique internationalletter focused on a particular ecological region—the Columbia RiverWatershed. What all of these efforts hold in common is the attempt toapply Catholic social teaching to a new and disturbing phenomenon inhuman experience. The result has been an expansion of Catholic socialthought. What was once the “social question” has now become the socialand “ecological question.” This development, the effort to address ecol-ogy and environmental issues as ethical problems, is the focus of thispaper. In particular this paper will link environmental and humanecology with the concept of sustainability, with the intention of propos-ing an interpretation of the common good and a definition of sustain-ability within Catholic social teaching.
