[Summary: Jesuit Father Klaus Mertes criticized the UN on handling of sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. He said he could only shake his head when the UN experts spoke of a mandatory duty to report cases of abuse to state authorities. He said the UN included in the report other issues that were “thrown into the pot.” He added that the report did contain much legitimate criticism.]

Er könne “nur den Kopf schütteln”, wenn die Experten des UN-Kinderrechtskomitees UNCRC von einer zwingenden Meldepflicht von Missbrauchsfällen an die staatlichen Behörden redeten.
