Report says globalization needs to respect human rights and dignity of the individual

The Vatican has announced that the conclusion to a report on Globalization published last year is due to be presented on February 25th by Cardinal Renato Martino, president of the Pontifical Council "Justice and Peace," and Juan Somavia, director of the International Labor Organization.

The presentation will take place at 3 p.m. on the 25 at the Pontifical Lateran University. The original report was published last year by the World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization. 

The Vatican noted that, the report "seeks to initiate a globalization with a strong social dimension, based on universally shared values, on respect for human rights and for the dignity of each individual; a just and democratically governed globalization that offers tangible opportunities and benefits to all countries and to all peoples.
