Ministers of Justice, Public Officials, Mayors, religious representatives,
witnesses of the struggle for justice and human rights from several Asian
countries (Philippines, India, Japan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Laos,
Cambodia, Vietnam and others) and EU countries delegates will gather in Manila,
for the first Asian International Conference "No justice without life"
organized by the Department of Justice of the Philippines and the Community of
Sant'Egidio in cooperation with the Municipality of Mandaluyong, Metromanila.
The Conference is intended to offer a platform of dialogue to those countries
who have initiated or are initiating a path towards a moratorium on executions,
in order to open a dialogue to a renovation of justice, with priority to human
rights and values, according to Asian cultural and religious heritage.
The Conference, first in Asia, lies in the mainstream of the "No justice
without life" global campaign initiated in 2005 by the Community of
Sant'Egidio, an international lay association of catholic church based in Rome
and worldwide spread. Joining this campaign, more than 2000 cities of 50
countries have declared being "Cities for life", creating an international
network for life and restorative justice spread all over the world. More than
30 Mayors of Philippines "Cities for Life" will attend the Conference. Their
commitment has brought many steps forward a restorative human justice in recent
years, in Asia and worldwide.
