Supreme Grand Knight recommends six actions, principles or solutions for the ISIS threat

It’s a dire situation, he said, “but their fate is not inevitable.” The United States can avert this crisis by acting according to six principles: 

1. Increase humanitarian aid and provide oversight to ensure it gets to those targeted for genocide. 

2. Support the long-term survival of indigenous religious and ethnic communities by supporting their right to remain in their country. 

3. Punish the perpetrators of genocide and crimes against humanity. 

4. Assist the victims of genocide in attaining refugee status. 

5. Make preparations to ensure that Christians and other minorities have equal rights in deciding their future as ISIS-controlled territory is liberated. 

6. Promote the establishment of internationally agreed upon standards of human rights and religious freedom as conditions for humanitarian and military assistance. Supreme Knight Anderson also reported that neither the U.S. government nor the United Nations have offered financial assistance to respond to the crisis of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and urban refugees.

The State Department also received a nearly 300-page report, submitted by the Knights, that detailed the brutality which Christians and other minorities have experienced at the hands of ISIS. The report was credited by officials as having been influential in the declaration of genocide made by the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. House of Representatives in mid-March. After submitting the report, Supreme Knight Anderson was invited to testify in Congress before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission to suggest a path forward for the victims of genocide.

A call for justice for Middle East Christians

Stop Christian genocide op Christian genocide- a worthy cause 

The Knights of Columbus is committed to this great cause.  We submitted to the State Department on March 9 and subsequently to members of Congress,  a nearly 300-page report that documented the atrocities and laid out the legal analysis supporting the conclusion that genocide is occurring. 

The United Nations can play a vital role by protecting the victims and refugees, by ensuring the survival of these ancient indigenous and religious communities, by punishing the perpetrators and by supporting the establishment of internationally agreed-upon standards of justice, equality, rule of law and religious freedom.

Carl Anderson is CEO of the Knights of Columbus. This essay is based on remarks he made to a conference on Christian genocide at the United Nations on April 28.

WEEKEND EXTRA: Death knell for service organizations

 Death knell for service organizations

Although cynics often portray service clubs as stuffy, self-righteous temples of boosterism and bourgeois conformity, I think they are a crucial part of the middle class glue that holds communities together.

And I came away from the experience with a strong sense of how much communities, often without knowing it, rely on the work of these far from glitzy volunteers who make sure kids have safe places to play, who organize minor sports, who put on the pancake breakfasts and serve the hotdogs at public events, and who work behind the scenes to help organize those events.

This view is supported by research, which finds that the key indicators of social cohesion in a community are the degree of charitable giving and civic participation through membership in service organizations and volunteering time in community causes.
