The Vatican on Wednesday said there is “a lack of political will on the part of the different institutions of the international community” to address attacks on the right of religious freedom.
The comments were made during a United Nations Human Rights Council discussion on the Report of the Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief.
“Minimizing the essential role that religion has in all societies will not be the answer to the current challenges found in the interplay of [the freedom of religion and the freedom of expression],” said Msgr. Richard Gyhra, chargé d’affaires of the Permanent Mission of the Holy See to the UN and other international organizations in Geneva.
“We live in a world subject to the ‘globalization of the technocratic paradigm,’ which consciously aims at a one-dimensional uniformity and seeks to eliminate all differences and traditions in a superficial quest for unity,” he continued.
