Dear Secretary-General
Annan,
As
a UN Non-member State Permanent Observer, the Holy See often enjoys unique
status as a voting partner with countries at UN conferences. Granting
governmental privileges to what is in reality a religious body is questionable
statecraft. While the Holy See—the
government of the Roman Catholic church—has
made positive contributions through the United Nations to peace and justice,
this should not be used to justify granting the status of a state to a
religious institution.
Governmental participation in the UN should be reserved to actual states.
The world's religions have been well represented through non-governmental
organizational status. With NGO status, the Roman Catholic church would
be able to continue its participation in the UN—like
the World Council of Churches—without
ambiguity or privilege. We call upon you to open an official review of
the Holy See's status at the UN.
