Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development will be particularly competent in matters concerning migration, the necessitous, the ill and the excluded, the marginalized and the victims of armed conflicts and natural catastrophes, the prisoners, the unemployed and victims of any form of slavery and torture.

The goal of this article is to show the structure and jurisdiction of the newly created Dicastery, which is a part of the pope’s wide plan to reform the Roman Curia in a way that, by answering the needs of the times and the place, allows it to accomplish its main goal of helping the bishop of Rome in dealing with the matters of the universal Church (can. 360). The main goal of the Dicastery is to integrate different nations of the Earth.
