As Pope Leo XIV embarks on this sacred journey, may his papacy be guided by wisdom, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to the teachings of Christ. We pray for his health and strength as he shepherds the Church through the challenges and opportunities of our time.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

We must make sure that Artificial Intelligence is put at the service of peace in the world, rather than being a threat, and that it make a beneficial contribution on humanity future. I have dedicated the Message for the World Day of Peace to this. #WDP2024 @vaticanIHD

Senior Fellow Dr. Maryann Cusimano Love recently represented the Holy See at the second Meeting of States Parties to the Treaty to Prohibit Nuclear Weapons. After that meeting, the Holy See requested representatives post Pope Francis’ World Day of Peace message on AI and Peace.

The Pope also encourages that the ethical dimensions of AI, including issues of privacy, prejudice, and impact on human dignity, be addressed in the sphere of education and in the development of international law.

Ben Ferencz’s legacy in international criminal law is unparalleled and an inspiration to us all. He taught us never to give up. Thank you, Ben, rest in peace. Our thoughts go to his family and loved ones.

“I had peered into hell.” Ben Ferencz witnessed the Nazis’s crimes as a US Army war crimes investigator traveling with troops liberating concentration camps. At Nuremberg, he had the chance to hold Nazis accountable. Ben won what was called "the biggest murder trial in history."
