The Vatican's permanent observer to the United Nations called on nations to seek solutions to poverty not only based on economics but to also address personal, social and environmental factors that contribute to it.
Archbishop Bernardito Auza said that the world must also end conflicts and violence, which are major contributors to poverty. He added that poverty is the greatest challenge to humanity.
He made the comments during a presentation on February 6 to a meeting of the UN Commission for Social Development.
