9th Review Conference of the Biological Weapons Convention
November 29, 2022
The Holy See urgently reiterates its call for the cessation of conflicts and for the establishment of a culture of peace and of life, based upon the values of responsibility, justice and dialogue.
Let us ensure that the application of biological sciences remains solely dedicated to the improvement of health and development. Let us not give in to the fragmentation of solutions and a situation where reciprocal vetoes impede the strengthening of the Convention. This is a responsibility which we cannot shirk. Today’s complacency and inaction could very well be tomorrow’s catastrophe.
