Addressing a UN conference on combatting international organized crime, a Vatican diplomat stressed the importance of the dignity of the human person.
“it is necessary to empower young people to recognize manipulation and defend their own dignity in digital environments,” said Msgr. Luca Marabese, an official of the Permanent Mission of the Holy See to the International Organizations in Vienna. “The protection of minors online is a responsibility shared by states, families, schools, civil society, and technology providers.”
The diplomat also discussed crime prevention, human trafficking, the theft of cultural property, and responsibility to creation.
