Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. The exact quote by Monsignor Daniel Pacho (Undersecretary for the Multilateral Sector of the Secretariat of State of the Holy See) is confirmed in his February 2026 address to the UN Conference on Disarmament in Geneva. The source URL (cruxnow.com/vatican/2026/02/...) returned 403 to WebFetch but is independently confirmed by Vatican News, Fox News, National Catholic Reporter, and Herald Malaysia coverage of the same speech. Year 2026 matches. Vote alignment: Pacho explicitly called for "a moratorium on the development and use of lethal autonomous weapons systems," which directly supports a "for" vote on "Ban autonomous lethal weapons." · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 13d ago
