Munizioni a grappolo, la Santa Sede: disarmo non è segno di debolezza

In brief

The Holy See called on nations to embrace disarmament and ratify the international treaty banning cluster munitions during the third review conference of the Convention on Cluster Munitions in Vientiane, Laos. Archbishop Balestrero, leading the Holy See delegation, stated that disarmament is not a sign of weakness and urged states to follow a diplomatic path toward disarmament.

The delegation expressed concern regarding the ongoing use of these weapons in conflicts. Archbishop Balestrero also highlighted the issue of global military spending, which has exceeded 2.890 trillion dollars.
