ROME, JUNE 13, 2005 (Zenit) - The Christian conception of human rights is increasingly under attack by international organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union. This is the argument of a new book entitled “Contro il Cristianesimo: L’ONU e l’Unione Europea come nuova ideologia” (Against Christianity: The U.N. and the European Union as a New Ideology), published this week in Italy by Piemme.
The authors, Eugenia Roccella and Lucetta Scaraffia, contend that the changes described in the human rights field are notable. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights proclaimed by the United Nations in 1948 made no mention of “reproductive rights.” A key reason why this changed, argues the book, lies in the cultural upheaval of the 1960s. Those years witnessed a sort of “cultural revolution” not only in the area of sexuality, but also in the very concept of rights.
In the wake of the upheaval, the book states, sexual activity became divorced from its link with procreation, the idea of individual autonomy was exalted, human life was reduced to mere biological material to be manipulated in the laboratory, and humanity tried to construct a new utopia based on the satisfaction of sexual desires. In turn, this utopian vision was increasingly imposed on Third World countries by international organizations, often forcibly, by linking the reproductive rights program to financial aid.
