VATICAN SUPPORTS INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL
COURT WITH SYMBOLIC DONATION
Pro-lifers
Around the Globe Dismayed
NEW YORK, July 5, 2002 (LSN.ca) - Pro-lifers around the globe were
dismayed Monday at the Vatican's welcoming of the establishment of the
International Criminal Court (ICC). Archbishop Renato Martino, the
Vatican's representative at the United Nations issued a release in
support of the ICC and noted that the Vatican had contributed a
symbolic donation of $3,000 to the ICC trust fund set up by UN
Secretary General Kofi Annan.
Pro-life lobbyists who attended the United Nations conferences leading
up to the ICC's creation and have closely followed its progress have
warned from its inception about the dangers of the ICC. Gwen Landolt,
a lawyer with REAL Women Canada has been following the development of
the ICC very closely. Landolt, an experienced UN lobbyist, told
LifeSite that in an ideal world the ICC may make for a superb way of
dealing with the Pol Pot's and Milosevic's of this world. However, she
warned that the ICC is far from ideal. While the Vatican's worldview
would be one based on Christian morality, the ICC, warns Landolt, is
based on radical feminist ideology.
