Pope Benedict XVI called on Tuesday for a new world body "with real teeth" to restore the global economy and prevent further disparities in a letter to Roman Catholics worldwide.

"There is a strongly felt need... for a reform of the United Nations Organisation, and likewise of economic institutions and international finance, so that the concept of the family of nations can acquire real teeth," the pope wrote in the third encyclical of his papacy.
