Card. Parolin celebrates UNIDROIT 90th anniversary


(Vatican Radio) The Secretary of State of the Holy See, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, was one of the featured speakers scheduled to deliver words of welcome on Wednesday at a ceremony marking the 90th anniversary of the founding of the UNIDROIT, at the Altieri palace in Rome.

Established in 1926 as an auxiliary organ of the League of Nations, and re-established in 1940 on the basis of a multilateral agreement, UNIDROIT has made significant contributions to the modernisation and harmonisation of private law together with the numerous partner organisations and entities with which it has collaborated and maintains close ties of cooperation and friendship.

In Cardinal Parolin’s prepared remarks, he said, “I wish to pay tribute to all the work accomplished by UNIDROIT and to renew the call tirelessly to work for the spread of the message of universal peace, harmony and concord, worldwide, using all means fairly at our disposal.”

Throughout the anniversary year, UNIDROIT plans to hold a series of celebratory events devoted to the role and place of private law in supporting the implementation of the international community’s broader cooperation and development objectives.
