Richard Dawkins: I will arrest Pope Benedict XVI -Times Online
Put aside all religious issues, and current scandals. I'm drilling it down to a sovereignty issue.
The Vatican was there as a nation/state before the UN. You don't get to wipe it away with the stroke of a pen just 'cuz you don't like religion.
If the Vatican was there first, perhaps they can disband the UN with a stroke of a pen as well?
There is every possibility of legal action against the Pope occurring, said Stephens. Geoffrey and I have both come to the view that the Vatican is not actually a state in international law. It is not recognised by the UN, it does not have borders that are policed and its relations are not of a full diplomatic nature.
