UN General Assembly
2012

The international community has always welcomed this contribution, which allows common initiatives to put back into a profound perspective, in which the underlying unity of the human family and the call to the generosity of individuals and peoples must always be reaffirmed. It is in that spirit that the Holy See wishes to offer its contribution to the present session of the General Assembly, aligning itself with the wish you expressed in your inaugural address, Mr. President, that all Member States, which share the responsibility to implement the principles and objectives of the Organization, would renew their commitment to resolve disputes by peaceful dialogue and not by resorting to confrontation. Only in that way will the aspirations and hopes of all be achieved. Only in that way can the United Nations play its indispensable role in peace and development.
