Holy See: Nuclear weapons are one of gravest threats to humanity
Readthrough summary
Archbishop Christophe El Kassis, the Holy See's Permanent Observer to the United Nations, spoke Oct. 19 at the First Committee's thematic discussion on nuclear weapons in New York.
He said a worsening security environment "cannot justify deeper reliance on nuclear weapons" and makes their elimination "all the more urgent," noting arsenals are being modernized and expanded.
He cited Pope Leo XIV: "Peace is not a balance of power; rather, it is built day by day through dialogue and justice."
