Pope Benedict XVI Pays Tribute to United Nations 
Pope Benedict XVI Pays Tribute to Fallen United Nations Staff

On April 18, 2008, Pope Benedict XVI made a historic visit to the United Nations, where he addressed the General Assembly. Stressing the critical role the UN plays in advancing peace, justice and human dignity, the Pope said that “The promotion of human rights remains the most effective strategy for eliminating inequalities between countries and social groups, and for increasing security.”  

To commemorate the first anniversary of Pope Benedict's address, the United Nations is hosting a symposium on April 16, which will be moderated by  Ambassador John K. Menzies, dean of the Whitehead School of Diplomacy and International Relations.  Among the participants in the symposium are Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, and Edward Cardinal Egan, Archbishop Emeritus of New York. Mary Ann Glendon, former ambassador of the United States to the Holy See, will present the keynote address.
