Pope Francis: support for UNESCO initiative
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis on Wednesday gave his support
to an international conference on the protection of the cultural heritage in
conflict zones, which is taking place in Abu Dhabi on 2-3 December.
The Safeguarding Endangered Cultural Heritage Conference is
being organized by France and the United Arab Emirates under the auspices of
UNESCO, the United Nations cultural agency.
The conference will involve representatives from more than
40 countries, as well as public and private institutions involved in heritage
conversation.
Pope Francis said the theme is “unfortunately starkly
current.”
“In the conviction that the protection of cultural treasures
constitutes an essential dimension in the defense of what it is to be human, I
hope that this event marks a new step in the process of the implementation of
human rights,” the Holy Father said.
