The
Holy See Mission at the United Nations in New York follows attentively and with
interest the work of the United Nations Organization. In this forum, the
Holy See Mission communicates the centuries’ experience of the Catholic Church
to humanity, and places this experience at the disposal of the United Nations
to assist it in its realization of peace, justice, human dignity and
humanitarian cooperation and assistance.
The
experience and activity of the Holy See is directed towards attaining freedom
for every believer and seeks to increase the protection to the rights of every
person, rights which are grounded and shaped by the transcendent nature of the
person, which permit men and women to pursue their journey of faith and their
search for God in this world.
In its
activities at the United Nations, the Holy See Mission works to advance freedom
of religion and respect for the sanctity of all human life - from conception to
natural death - and thus all aspects of authentic human development including, for
example, marriage and family, the primary role of parents, adequate employment,
solidarity with the poor and suffering, ending violence against women and children, poverty eradication, food, basic
healthcare and education.
