Part of situation: Vatican diplomatic advocacy at the United Nations (3 clusters)

Pietro Parolin urges UN to shift from power to negotiation

Pietro Parolin United Nations General Assembly international diplomacy artificial intelligence ethics autonomous weapons

Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, addressed the 81st United Nations General Assembly, calling for a global shift from a culture of power to a culture of negotiation. He warned that the current international order is suffering from a lack of trust, driven largely by the disregard for the principle of 'pacta sunt servanda' and the false belief that military force generates true power.

Parolin highlighted various global crises, including conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, and Haiti, urging states to prioritize the common good and human dignity over narrow national or economic interests. He also addressed modern technological challenges, advocating for an ethical framework for artificial intelligence and raising moral concerns regarding lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS).

Drawing on the teachings of Pope Leo XIV, Parolin emphasized that diplomacy and dialogue must become the standard methods for resolving conflicts, even with difficult interlocutors, to prevent a widespread arms race and the normalization of war.
