Mission: Established in 1991 by the Catholic Church's delegation to the United Nations, the Path to Peace Foundation strives to disseminate information and documentation on statements and initiatives of the Holy Father, the Holy See and Catholic organizations aimed at building a world of justice, charity and peace. The Foundation does this through a variety of activities, including initiating programs, such as conferences, seminars and lectures, to study the social teachings of the Church, and to promote cultural initiatives touching on the Christian heritage in art, music and the humanities; fostering religious, conciliatory and humanitarian projects with a view to promoting fundamental human rights by calling attention to specific emergency needs that arise in different parts of the world; presenting highly publicized annual awards to those who effectively pursue international peace. Due to its relationship with the Church and with the United Nations, the Foundation carries unique moral influence among world leaders.
