President Michele Capasso participated in the HUMAN RIGHTS DAY with many events organised at the Museum of Peace - MAMT by the Anna Lindh Federation.
World Human Rights Day is celebrated on 10 December every year all over the world and commemorates the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights at the United Nations Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948. The birth of this important document took place in the immediate post-war period, when European and Asian territories were devastated by the aftermath of the Second World War and the whole world was horrified by the discovery of the concentration camp system devised by the Nazi regime.
The 58 countries that were members of the UN at the time, seeking redemption after the horrors of the conflict, incorporated into the Charter a centuries-old elaboration of humanitarian and civil principles, condensed into a list of 30 articles, which took their cue from the great constituent documents of the history of mankind, such as the American Declaration of Independence of 1776 or the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen born of the French Revolution. The declared aim was to spread the values of democracy, diversity and tolerance throughout the world.

The Fondazione Mediterraneo and the Anna Lindh Italy Federation participated - with their representatives - in the seventh edition of "ROME MED - MEDITERRANEAN DIALOGUES": the annual high-level initiative promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and ISPI (Italian Institute for International Political Studies) with the aim of rethinking traditional approaches to the area by integrating analyses of current challenges with new ideas and suggestions and to draw up a new "positive agenda", addressing shared challenges at both regional and international levels.
This year's edition was dedicated to a positive agenda for the Mediterranean between transition and signs of recovery.
Launched in 2015, MED has rapidly become the global hub for high-level dialogues on the wider Mediterranean, involving prominent leaders from Mediterranean governments, business, civil society, media and academia.
Past editions have brought together more than 1,000 international leaders, including Heads of State and Ministers (among them, the King of Jordan, the Iraqi and Lebanese Presidents, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, the United States. Secretary of State, UN High Commissioner for Refugees and Envoy for Syria, as well as the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the first Vice-President of the Commission and many others).
The Italian Institute for International Policy Studies (ISPI) is an independent, non-partisan think tank that provides cutting-edge research and viable policy options to government officials, business executives and the general public who wish to better understand international affairs. Founded in 1934 in Milan, ISPI has always taken a pragmatic approach to the analysis of geographic areas and issues of particular interest to Italy and Europe. ISPI is the only Italian institute - and one of the few in Europe - that combines policy-oriented research with an equally significant commitment to education and training, to conferences and consulting on international trends.
The four pillars
Rome MED is based on four pillars: shared prosperity, shared security, migration and civil society and culture. Discussions on these themes aim to complement analyses of current challenges with new ideas and suggestions for increasing economic cooperation, overcoming regional rivalries and conflicts, and ensuring that the right incentives are put in place for sustainable development.
President Michele Capasso, connected from the Foundation's headquarters, recalled the Foundation's 30 years of activity in the Mediterranean when very few people were interested in the issue and relaunched the UNITED STATES OF THE WORLD project.

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and French President Emmanuel Macron signed the "Treaty for Enhanced Bilateral Cooperation" at the Quirinale, in the presence of the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, and the Italian and French delegations. At the end of the ceremony, President Draghi and President Macron made joint statements to the press at Villa Madama.
President Michele Capasso stressed that this treaty is a first significant step towards the United States of the World. Responding to journalists, he said:
"Usually diplomats deal with treaties and they are often drafted as if they were a photocopy of each other. The Italy-France treaty, on the other hand, should be known because it is peculiar, it goes beyond the interests of diplomacy and concerns everyone. In essence, it involves the general interest of the two Countries and, in general, of Europe. Country. The "Treaty of the Quirinale" may affect the history of relations between Italy and France and the very future of Europe. Italy and France, two countries so close but often so far apart. This "Treaty" takes the path of integration in the most important sectors of a country's life: from security to technological innovation, from justice to the economy, from education to social and sustainable development, even in the extremely delicate sector of agriculture, in which Italy and France have often been in competition. But the added value is that this treaty is not closed, i.e. 'bilateral', as we say in diplomatic jargon. Instead, it is open to Europe and aims, mind you, not at defending the current intergovernmental, i.e. federal, structure, but at building a Europe that is finally federal, the one that young people dream of, the one we need, the one that the dramatic challenges of globalisation in the time of the pandemic require of us: the "United States of Europe" and the "United States of the World".
