NEW YORK, April 16, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Werner Fornos, President of the Population Institute and a former Planned Parenthood executive director, has been awarded the 2003 United Nations Population Award. Fornos, a controversial figure, has been at the forefront of promoting population control through scare mongering.
The United Nations Population Fund has given the award to Fornos despite his intimate involvement in the Chinese government's coercive one-child policy. UNFPA's own association with the coercive China policy has cost it funding from the United States. However, such criticisms have apparently not caused UNFPA to distance itself from such coercive practices and those who support them.
Fornos is also on record as being outspokenly against the Vatican, going so far as to call for it's expulsion from the United Nations. Fornos' Population Institute was reprimanded by the Catholic League for comparing the Vatican to the Nazi's calling it "an anti- contraceptive Gestapo." Fornos himself wrote: "the Vatican's permanent observer status at the U.N. -- whereby it uses its influence at the world's most important secular forum to spread religious dogma -- should be reconsidered."
