And this organization has what authority to actually enforce this decision:

They are NOT as the OP states any body of the United Nations, they are an independent group of people who think they can try anyone in any church or state for crimes. Their authority is non-existent.
That's the problem, it's like the court that somehow sentenced Bush and company to War Crimes a few years back, it's a lot of talk, and in the end, nothing will come of it because they have no legal standing to enforce this decision, esp on a Sovereign Nation like the Vatcian, or the United Kingdom. Can you just see them trying to go in and repossess the Queen's stuff?

People LOVE to be told what to think.
If we press the keys on our keyboards extra hard, curl our lips with indignity over all this , erm, um, indignity, and say all the words out loud making extra sure to spit all over our screens since we're really really really really mad about all these crimes against humanity, that might just make a difference ... right?

And you can continue to live in fantasy land.
Go ahead and type up an arrest warrant and travel to Rome. Gather some friends whille your at it. See how well that goes over.
There are systems in place that handle these types of issues, and proper ways for them to be dealt with. How about trying to pettition them?

The only folks telling me what to think are the Catholic Church. That must be who you are talking about.
Vatican officials announced that Joseph Ratzinger will remain a permanent resident of Vatican City after his resignation. Doing so will offer him legal protection from any attempt to prosecute him in connection with sexual abuse cases around the world, Church sources said today "His continued presence in the Vatican is necessary, otherwise he might be defenseless".

The only authority the Catholic Church has over anyone residing outside of Vaitcan City is that authority which is freely given by it's congregations.
No one is telling you what to think or do or say.... get over it.
