Vatican UN Representative Encourages Religious Freedom

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS

Zenit reports on the address on religious freedom given last week at the United Nations Human Rights Council by Archbishop Silvano Tomasi, permanent representative of the Holy See to the U.N. offices in Geneva. Citing a study that says 75% of those killed because of religious hatred are Christians, Tomasi urged that states have a responsibility to create an environment that encourages religious freedom. He also said that the practice of religion needs to be defined broadly-- it includes more than just acts of worship.
