CWN Editor's Note: Addressing a UN meeting on the International Day Against Nuclear Tests, a leading Vatican diplomat lamented the “resurgence of aggressive nuclear rhetoric, the development of increasingly destructive weapons and a significant rise in military expenditure.”
“The pursuit of a world free of nuclear weapons is not only a matter of strategic and vital necessity, but also a profound moral responsibility,” said Archbishop Gabriele Caccia, apostolic nuncio and Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations. “This endeavor requires a renewed commitment to multilateral dialogue and the resolute implementation of disarmament treaties, as well as concrete support for communities that continue to suffer from the long-term consequences of nuclear testing and armament.”
Archbishop Caccia reiterated the Holy See’s support for the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons.
