Italian President Sergio Mattarella believes that the large number of conflicts in the world indicates a “fragmented world war”, the way out of which can only be the strengthening of multilateral institutions.

Details: He recalled that he ended his last address to the ambassadors with the hope “for the restoration of a just world for Ukraine,” which, unfortunately, did not happen – but “more other regions of our planet are in a more unstable state than last year.”
Among them, the president listed Africa with a number of crises, most notably in the Sahel region and Sudan, as well as the Hamas attack on Israel in October. The President of Italy also recalled other crisis regions and countries where there is no such active hostilities, such as Afghanistan.
Direct speech: “It is impossible not to recognize the foresight of Pontiff Francis, who ten years ago first spoke of a “fragmented world war”… A “fragmented world war” leads to a fragmented world.”
More details: According to the Italian president, the way out of the current situation should be “a fruitful structural reform of multilateralism.”
“From the United Nations to the World Trade Organization, from the World Health Organization to the nuclear weapons control regime, these and other institutions need to be updated and strengthened. We are all paying for their shortcomings,” he said.
In parallel, he called for institutional reform of the European Union, which, in parallel with enlargement, should become capable of “effectively and quickly responding to the challenges of our time, offering an example of a community that, through dialogue and negotiation, makes an even greater contribution to international peace and cooperation.”
What preceded: Last month, US Republican Senator Pete Ricketts said that the US and allies must help Ukraine stop Russian President Vladimir Putin, because otherwise it will will result in a higher price for the United States.
