NEW YORK: Pope Benedict 16th is to celebrate Mass at Saint
Patrick’s Cathedral and meet with top church officials Saturday
after he vigorously promoted human rights and multilateralism and
urged a greater dialogue between religions. Addressing the United
Nations General Assembly Friday, the 81-year-old pontiff reminded
all 192 UN member-states of their duty to protect their people from
human rights abuses. “Every state has the primary duty to protect
its own population from grave and sustained violations of human
rights,” he told a packed assembly on his first visit to UN
headquarters since becoming pope three years ago.
