Justice as an Answer to Terrorism

From America:

Just solutions to political, social and economic problems that frustrate young immigrants worldwide “can rob terrorists of the oxygen of hatred” and thwart efforts to “recruit the impressionable,” the Vatican’s representative to the United Nations said on May 11. Archbishop Celestino Migliore, the permanent representative of the Holy See to the international body, spoke before the General Assembly during its informal consultations on a counterterrorism strategy. “The political, social and economic exclusion of immigrant communities stokes the frustration of young people and has led to breakdowns in order in some places; but the demand for a just solution to these questions remains a legitimate one,” the archbishop said. “By resolving such questions swiftly and justly, nations can rob terrorists of the oxygen of hatred and of grievances, real or imagined, by which they attempt to legitimize their evil deeds and recruit the impressionable,” he added.
