The Secretary General of the World Council of Churches (WCC), Rev. Olav Fykse Tveit, reaffirms the duty religious leaders across the spectrum have to work together to defend a current “attack against human rights laws and principles that were established 70 years ago to protect all of us.”
Speaking to Linda Bordoni of a joint Vatican and WCC conference entitled "Xenophobia, Racism and Populist Nationalism in the Context of Global Migration", Tveit says there is the “need to support those politicians who are saying: ‘no, these are our common standards, these are our common values and we are willing to fight for them’.
