NEW YORK - "Respect for human rights only true path to safety," "freedom of religion even in the political sphere," "the right of the UN to intervene to protect people," a mission that 'have in common with the Catholic Church's role in the world and "the right to live their faith publicly." And then the stern warning against scientific research that is likely to challenge the "order of creation," threatening the "sanctity of life" and going to "rob the human person and the family of their natural identity." These are the basic steps of the intervention of Pope Benedict XVI before the General Assembly of the United Nations for the 60th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights.
The Pope is sitting on a white armchair next to the bench of the Presidency, speaks to a 'crowded courtroom that has long applauded at its entrance. He wears the traditional white dress and decided to speak French. The simultaneous translation in dozens of languages. The pope spoke for about half an hour and eventually the 192 representatives of the UN United rose to their feet for a long applause. The key passages of the speech, the recognition of the UN humanitarian "activities in which the Church is pleased to be associated," ending the cold war between the Vatican and glass building erupted last December when Ratzinger attacked during the UN and "moral relativism that dominates the international organizations and forget the dignity of man."
Before the General Assembly, the pontiff, who arrived from Washington with a military helicopter, was interviewed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, who had waited and got out of the glass palace, along Second Avenue. "The UN is a lay institution, but the work of his men is justified by faith" was the greeting of the Secretary-General. After Paul VI and John Paul II, Pope Ratzinger is the third involved the United Nations. Pope John Paul II had intervened on two occasions.
LOOK AT THE PICTURES
"No relativism" . The dignity of man, "
created in God's image," should be the focus of the international community and the United Nations is established precisely to protect those human rights that the tragedies of the twentieth century had "massively violated." So, faced with new challenges and emergencies, woe to adopt a "pragmatic approach", yielding to a relativism, that "the meaning and interpretation of rights" could vary and their universality would be denied "in the name of different cultural perceptions, political, social and even religious. "
The right to live the faith . You can be faithful and may, at the same time, also be political," that is, to participate in building the social order "especially avoiding the risk of secularization" has Benedict XVI told the Assembly. "You can not 'restrict the full guarantee of religious freedom to the free exercise of worship, in contrast, has to give due consideration to the public dimension of religion, and hence the possibility of believers playing their part in building the social. "For the Pope" inconceivable that believers should have to suppress a part of themselves, their faith, to be active citizens should never be necessary to deny God in order to enjoy their rights. "This is positive" involvement influential and generous "of representatives of religions" in universities, scientific institutions, schools, health care agencies and charitable organizations serving the poor and marginalized.

The duty to intervene in states that violate human rights . The Pope justify certain forms of intervention. "Any State - he says - has the primary duty to protect its own population from grave and sustained violations of human rights, as well as from the consequences of humanitarian crises, whether natural or man-made.''The principle of" responsibility to protect "Ratzinger stresses, is the raison d'etre of the United Nations.
The limits of science and technology . The point of mediation between science and technology, according to Benedict XVI, is to find a scientific method that is truly respectful of ethical imperatives. ''''Some aspects of the application of recent scientific and technological discoveries''are a clear violation of the order of creation, to the point where not only is the sacred character of life contradicted, but the human person and the family are robbed of their natural identity.''
The fight against terrorism. It can and must take place but in respect for rights. "In good faith, respecting the law, and promoting solidarity with the weakest regions of the planet." Having said that "matters of security, development goals, reduction of local and global inequalities, protection of the environment, resources and climate, require all international leaders to act jointly and to show a readiness to work."
