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.  For the rest of this important special report see:  https://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2002/jul/020705a.html
