HOLY SEE:
Archbishop Renato R. Martino noted that
substantial progress has been made on the post-UNCED initiatives.
With regard to the Conference on the Sustainable Development of
Small Island Developing States (SIDS), the Holy See continues to
stress the need for due consideration of the ethical dimensions of
problems affecting developing countries and SIDS. The Holy See
reminds all States of the fundamental primacy of the human person
when they consider environment and development issues. He stressed
the need to change consumption patterns and lifestyles, readjust
economic systems and maintain the correct emphasis on the human
person.
