Archbishop Christophe El Kassis calls for disarmament at UN
Archbishop Christophe El Kassis, the permanent observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, called for disarmament during the 81st UN General Assembly.
Speaking at the assembly, El Kassis urged the adoption of a legal instrument to regulate the development and use of artificial intelligence in weaponry. He stated that such a measure is necessary to ensure accountability and to provide strong protection for civilians and essential infrastructure. He further called for a document to prohibit autonomous lethal weapons systems.
Regarding global poverty and food security, El Kassis urged the international community to turn existing commitments into political will and to allocate the necessary resources to those most in need.
