A CLAP OF HANDS FOR GRANDMOTHER BETTA

Elisabetta Baldi Caponnetto, widow of Judge Antonino Caponnetto, has ascended to heaven.
To all of us she was simply "Grandmother Betta," as was "Grandfather Nino."
The United States of the World and the Fondazione Mediterraneo remember a woman who had taken up her husband's meritorious and courageous battle and over the years had gone to great lengths to meet boys and girls in schools, with the aim of spreading an anti-mafia culture among the new generations.
How can we fail to remember the visit to her home to present the "Mediterranean Award for Legality" to the memory of Nonno Nino and her delicacy in placing the "Totem for Peace, the Award, among her most cherished things.
And then the many meetings, the generosity in writing the preface to the volume "La Grande Méditerranée," the meeting at the Senate with President Pietro Grasso to support the "United States of the World" and the "Totem for Peace."
His example and spirit will remain as an inspiration and motivation for all of us and for those engaged in the front lines of the fight against all mafias.

The "United States of the World" with its autonomous sections "Fondazione Mediterraneo" and "Accademia del Mediterraneo" celebrated "World Refugee Day" in order to intensify efforts to prevent and resolve conflicts and contribute to peace and security for refugees.
The United Nations General Assembly chose to celebrate "World Refugee Day" on 20 June each year with Resolution 55/76. The document was passed on 4 December 2000 to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.
The "United States of the World" joined with Resolution No. 136 of 16 July 2001.
"Still this year, said Secretary-General Michele Capasso, Syrians, citizens of Sudan, Afghanistan and the Democratic Republic of Congo will be among those most in need of a resettlement programme".
Several events have been organised in various countries by the "United States of the World" around the world to mark the Day.
