Pope to UN: "No" to war which is the negation of all rights
In his fifth address to the United Nations, Francis said we need to ensure that our institutions take action. Defending the environment and combating exclusion are actions that require “absolute respect for life in all its stages and dimensions”. No drug trafficking and to nuclear proliferation which would transform the UN into “nations united by fear and distrust”. No to “military and political interventions which are not coordinated between members of the international community”. And the Pope also sent out an appeal for Christians and all other persecuted minorities.
