Addressing the 70th UN General Assembly, Pope Francis called on the 150 world leaders present to act on social issues such as poverty, international conflicts, and climate change. He spoke of "military and political interventions not coordinated with members of the international community," and declared that environmental destruction goes hand-in-hand with injustice, the result of a system that is too focused on material wealth. The Pontiff called for democratizing international decision making, eliminating nuclear weapons, and endorsed the Iran nuclear deal. teleSUR
