Addressing the General Debate of the First Committee of the 80th Session of the UN General Assembly in New York, Archbishop Caccia urged world leaders to recommit to disarmament and revive multilateral dialogue aimed at safeguarding humanity's future.

This warning comes eighty years after the atomic devastation of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the founding of the United Nations.
