Archbishop Bernardito Auza, the Vatican's permanent observer to the United Nations, with U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres In Brief
Religious and ethnic minorities who were victims of atrocities committed by Daesh (so-called Islamic State) need to be supported in rebuilding their lives, the representative of the Holy See to the UN said.
Speaking at the conference on ‘Peace, Reconciliation and Justice: The Future of Religious and Ethnic Minorities Victimised by Daesh’ on November 2, Archbishop Bernadito Auza said the international community were “justly repelled by the horror stories” about the so-called Islamic State’s actions.
“The international community must respond to the outrages systematically committed by Daesh also with a rock-solid resolve to prevent similar future abominations from recurring,” the archbishop said.
