Geneva/Rome – 18 May 2025 – The International Organization for Migration (IOM) extends its sincere congratulations to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on the inauguration of his papacy, which took place today, Sunday 18 May in Rome.
Pope Leo XIV reflected today on a world still marked by discord, fear of the other, the marginalization of the poor and economic systems that continue to weigh heavily on the planet’s resources. From his words emerged a hope for a reconciled world and a renewed spirit of unity.
This vision resonates with IOM’s mission to promote the dignity and rights of all people, including migrants and displaced populations. We welcome this call to look beyond divisions and work together to build more inclusive and humane societies, where everyone can live in safety and with respect, regardless of their origin or status.
