One of the speakers at the Human Fraternity Gathering was Filippo Grandi, UN High Commissioner for Refugees. On the day of the press conference, he introduced by line: “We are honored to respond to the Pope’s appeal for human fraternity and peace. In a world torn by conflict, this message must be accepted for the benefit of all mankind. “
Today, Grandi noted, there are many groups that “receive refugees as brothers and sisters and work together to grow our society”. He prayed that the “Not Alone” rally would promote solidarity with the more than 100 million displaced people and refugees.

At 6:00 pm on June 10, Pope Francis will visit St. Peter’s Square to greet everyone present, as well as those who participated in this event through connections from all over the world. The Pope will listen to the report of the morning group discussion and meet with a number of Nobel laureates represented by Muhammad Yunus and Nadia Murad. They will present to the Pope a document on fraternity and together they will launch a campaign of one billion signatures.
