ÐÓMAPµ¼º½s at the United Nations: Voices for Peace
Vatican News
This year, 2025, holds special significance as it commemorates three important anniversaries in the history of the relationship between the Holy See and the United Nations: the 60th anniversary of ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Saint Paul VI’s historic visit to the UN in 1965 - the first ever by a ÐÓMAPµ¼º½; the 30th anniversary of ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Saint John Paul II’s second visit in 1995; and the 10th anniversary of ÐÓMAPµ¼º½ Francis’ memorable address to the General Assembly in 2015.
Each of these moments marked a milestone in the ongoing dialogue between the Catholic Church and the international community, reflecting a shared commitment to peace, human dignity, and multilateral cooperation.
In a short video marking this year's significant anniversaries, Vatican News reflects on the message of each of the popes - Paul VI, John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and Francis - who have stood before the whole world, represented by the UN's General Assembly, to proclaim a message of peace.
