Pro-life groups demand UN take action
Several groups from Catholic Family and the Human Rights Institute; Concerned Women for America; Institute for Family Policy; United Families International; and representatives from Poland, Spain and Honduras briefed reporters on a Petition for the Unborn Child.
The briefing was sponsored by the United States Mission. In commemoration of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), these groups demanded action be taken at all levels within the UN system to promote families, marriage and the right of the child.
They asked UN officials and member states to promote family stability, “moral” education and to not pass on future generations the notion that it is acceptable not to have a mother and father. They demanded member states to stand up for the family and to support principles for pro-family action and to fight for the right of the unborn child (under Articles 2 and 3 of the UDHR).
