The Vatican announced the creation of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development on 31 August 2016, effective 1 January 2017. Cardinal Peter Turkson was named its first prefect. This dicastery of the Roman Curia combined the work of four Pontifical Councils established following the Second Vatican Council: Justice and Peace, Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People, Pastoral Assistance to Health Care Workers, and Cor Unum.^[1] Pope Francis has given it responsibility for "issues regarding migrants, those in need, the sick, the excluded and marginalized, the imprisoned and the unemployed, as well as victims of armed conflict, natural disasters, and all forms of slavery and torture".^[2] The Pope announced that "temporarily" he would personally direct the dicastery's work on behalf of migrants and refugees.^[3]
