PRESENTATION BY
HIS EMINENCE CARDINAL ANGELO SODANO

NEW YORK, NEW YORK


 

SEPTEMBER 19, 2004

Your Eminence Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Archbishop Migliore, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen:

I am, today, deeply honoured to accept the award of Knight of the Grand Cross Pian Order, which his Holiness the Pope John Paul II has so graciously conferred on me. I offer my grateful thanks to His Holiness for this honour, a most treasured tribute not only to me, but also to the collective efforts and accomplishments of the Fifty-eighth Session of the United Nations General Assembly, for which I was privileged to serve as President.

My tenure as President of the General Assembly confirmed my conviction that the people of the world, in whose interest the United Nations was established, want reliable and confident action from the organization. My Presidency also provided invaluable insights about the kind of international cooperation essential for the most effective functioning of the General Assembly, so that it may play its critical role in United Nations initiatives to provide leadership in a very turbulent and troubled world.
 

It is cooperation of the kind that permits all participants in the Assembly to bring their perspectives to the table, in the interest of accomplishing the goals and objectives set out in the United Nations Charter.

We know of the Holy See’s deep commitment to addressing the myriad challenges facing the United Nations and the people of the world. I do believe that the deliberations of the United Nations General Assembly on the critical issues of our times will gain from the experience and expertise of the Holy See’s more active participation. Now, as the General Assembly assesses where it stands, and looks ahead to where it must go, the Holy See will be better enabled to play its essential part. I am pleased that the Fifty-eighth Session of the General Assembly would have made a modest contribution towards this end.

I thank you.
