The head of government noted that it is the duty of the United Nations to reject any hypocritical approach and launch an all-out war against human traffickers, as their role at other times has been equally crucial in eradicating the universal crime of slavery, it can will not tolerate it returning with a different name.
“This should be a goal that unites us all, it should be a goal of the United Nations,” he said, asking: How can we close our eyes to this tragedy? Can we pretend we don’t know that there is no more lucrative activity than migrant trafficking? which he said he was emulating with the arms and drug trade.
Meloni emphasized that Italy wanted to be at the forefront on this issue and referred, among other things, to the International Migration Conference that took place in Rome on July 23 this year.
In this forum, it was important not only to step up the fight against “those who trade in the slaves of the third millennium,” but also to discuss how to address the real causes of migration, he emphasized.
“One of the objectives is to guarantee the right not to emigrate, not to leave home and family, not to lose one’s roots and to find the conditions in one’s own country that enable one to make a living. ” he explained.
In this sense, he assured that Italy wants to “contribute to building a cooperation model that allows collaboration with African countries so that they can grow and prosper”, creating opportunities in the countries of origin and transit.
In another part of her speech, the Italian leader reiterated her country’s support for Ukraine in the conflict with Russia and expressed that the impact of this war “worries us all.”
He also pointed out the risks associated with the development of artificial intelligence, since “the pace of technological development is much faster than our ability to cope with the possible impacts”, and particularly referred to the consequences for the labor market.
“In a world dominated by inequalities and the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of a few, more and more people will no longer be necessary,” he said, adding that “technological development will be necessary.” Serving humanity, not the other way around.”
In his final words, Meloni emphasized his government’s position for reforming the United Nations Security Council “to make it more transparent and effective” and to “ensure a geographical distribution of positions in which countries have the opportunity to demonstrate” . what value they have today.”
