Stefano Lizshenski – Vatican City

Antonio Guterres addressed the delegates of the 193 member states to remember the personality of Pope Francis a week after his death, describing him as “a man with a belief able to insult the bridges between confessions and defenders of the marginalized, a voice of peace in a world of wars.”

United Nations friend

The Secretary -General of the United Nations remembers some of the words announced by Francisco at the United Nations in 2015. Before the General Assembly, the Pope introduced the organization as a representative place for the human family capable of working with the one and in harmony “not only for peace, but in peace, not in the search for justice, but in the spirit of justice.”

With the encyclopedia All brothersGuterres recalls, Francisco repeated the need for more social justice and equality in the world, as he drew a “clear line between greed, on the one hand, poverty, hunger, discrimination and suffering, on the other hand.”

Welcome and integrated

Antonio Guterres, who remembers his mandate as Sami Refugee Commissioner, has seized the opportunity to remember the late Pope’s commitment to shed light on refugee and migrant drama. Pope Francis – the writing of Guterres – has always expressed his conviction that faith should be the engine of work and commitment.

“On the occasion of the last world’s refugee day, all countries called for” welcoming, promoting, accompanying and integrating those who call their doors. “

Wars condemnation

Pope Francis owns a pilgrimage to the war -destroyed countries around the world, from Iraq to South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which condemns violence and enhancing reconciliation. And above all – the message says – “I have been firm in defense of the innocent people trapped in the wars of Gaza and Ukraine.”

His call – the Secretary -General continued – is not the closure of his eyes to the victims of war and violence.

An example to follow up

Continuing in French and Spanish, Antonio Guterres toured Francisco in defense of the “joint house”, citing the encyclopedia Laudato yes The Pope confirms “the clear link between the deterioration of the environment and the deterioration of the human situation.” The year 2025 was declared, and de la Esperanza was recalled, the highest United Nations site.

“Now it is up to us to promote this hope.” At the end of his speech, Guterres asked the General Assembly to renew its commitment to peace, protect human dignity and promote social justice.
