Another Pro-Life Voice at the UN as ADF Gains Consultative Status

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona – This week the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), one of the United States’ most influential public interest Christian legal alliances, announced that it has officially been granted special consultative status at the United Nations. This status will allow ADF attorneys to attend and intervene at treaty and convention drafting meetings and help craft language that affirms religious freedom, the sanctity of life, marriage, and the family.

“No person – anywhere – should be punished simply for holding to Christian beliefs. Receiving special consultative status at the U.N. is a major advancement for ADF and our global legal efforts to protect and preserve religious freedom,” said ADF Director of Global Activities and Strategic Alliances Benjamin Bull.

“ADF can now have a say when U.N. treaties and conventions are drafted that directly impact religious liberty and important matters related to the sanctity of life, marriage, and the family,” Bull explained.
