CWN Editor's Note: A leading Vatican diplomat said that the Holy See “encourages renewed multilateral cooperation that places the inviolable God-given dignity of every human person and the common good at the center of peacekeeping efforts.”
Addressing a UN committee meeting on peacekeeping operations, Archbishop Christophe-Zakhia El-Kassis, apostolic nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, said that “clear, credible and achievable mandates must accompany inclusive political processes, national ownership and genuine reconciliation. The protection of civilians must be at the core of every peacekeeping mission, paying particular attention to children, elderly, displaced persons, and those exposed to sexual violence.”
