‘multilateralism is not bureaucracy, it is a life value that is opposed to arrogance’ – Il Tempo

Berlin, November 16 (Adnkronos) – “Cooperation between states, institutions, societies is the only measure that can protect human dignity. It is multilateral institutions such as the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, peacekeeping missions, humanitarian agencies that contribute to the demanding and exciting work of building a global conscience. Multilateralism is not a bureaucracy, as oppressors insist: it is a tool that cools differences and allows peaceful resolution; it is the language of shared responsibility.” The President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, underlined this in Berlin in his speech to the Bundestag on the occasion of the ‘National Day of Mourning’ ceremony, 80 years after the end of the Second World War.
