In a Daily Comment for the New Yorker, Senior Fellow Paul Elie writes about the many and intricate religious conflicts involving Ukraine—conflicts which long predate Russian's current invasion of the country.

Senior Fellows Katherine Marshall and the late Rev. Drew Christiansen, S.J., are two of the signatories to a declaration calling for the creation of an International Anti-Corruption Court (IACC) to give the global community innovative tools to combat corruption.

Senior Fellow José Casanova will participate in an April 21 webinar, hosted by the University of Notre Dame, about Russian President Vladimir Putin's use of religion to justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine and how religion is helping to address the human cost of the war, as religious NGOs provide assistance for Ukrainian refugees.

The Berkley Center and greater Georgetown community mourn the loss of Senior Fellow Rev. Drew Christiansen, S.J., who passed away on Wednesday, April 6. He devoted his life to applying the rich tradition of Catholic social teaching to issues of human rights, interreligious dialogue, nuclear disarmament, and peace.
