Religious Minorities in Ukraine Amidst Russia's Invasion: Security, Legal, and Institutional Challenges
type: item
description: Russia’s full-scale invasion has posed significant challenges to religious freedom in Ukraine. Nearly 700 religious sites have been destroyed by ongoing Russian airstrikes and shelling targeting civilians across Ukraine. At the same time, Russia continues to suppress religious minorities and terrorize civilians in occupied Ukrainian regions, subjecting believers to persecution, arrests, tortures, and executions. The occupation authorities enforce Russification and the Russian World ideology, promoting the Russian Orthodox Church while suppressing other faiths. The Kremlin has weaponized religion as an instrument of ideological control, transforming Russian religious centers into mouthpieces of propaganda and channels of influence. In response, Ukraine has sought to limit Russian interference in religious affairs, leading to legislative initiatives that have sparked international debate. The country faces challenges in balancing national security with religious freedom, concerning the influence of Russian religious centers and policies on military conscription. The lack of clear provisions for conscientious objection has resulted in the legal persecution of believers from minority faiths. Additionally, mass migration and conscription disrupted religious communities, causing colossal displacement and leadership crises. This paper examines the intersection of war, religious policy, and human rights, analyzing how Ukraine navigates threats to its sovereignty while upholding its commitment to religious freedom.

Religious Minorities in States of Emergency: the UN Perspective

This contribution looks at the UN perspective concerning a specific vulnerable category, that is, religious minorities, in states of emergencies, by focusing on the Emergency Special Sessions of the General Assembly and on the Human Rights Council’s Special Procedures.

Historical Titles of the Roman Pope and his Universal Jurisdiction in Episcopal Appointments
type: item
description: If papal authority over the Latin Church can be linked to the ultra-metropolitan jurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome as Patriarch of the West in the first millennium, as well as to his primacy over the Italian Church during the same period, the pontifical solicitude towards the Eastern Catholic Churches realises the exercise of the full ordinary and immediate power of the Roman Pontiff, a solicitude that takes concrete form in a variety of ways to protect and safeguard their traditions and ecclesial specificities.

Covid Restrictions and Religious Freedom in Africa
type: item
description: COVID-19 based restrictions on places of worship and religious gatherings were present in 31 of 49 countries examined in Sub-Sharan Africa between 2019 and 2022. While patterns differed slightly across religious traditions, a majority of both Muslim-majority and Christian-majority countries enacted and enforced this type of restriction at some point during this period. In a large majority of these countries there was some resistance to the restrictions. By the end of 2022 all of them were lifted so these restrictions on places of worship and religious gatherings did not permanently impact religious freedom in the region and appear to be largely temporary government actions linked to the pandemic.

Religious minorities in times of crisis: the growing threats of discrimination, securitisation, and nationalism
type: item
description: In an increasingly unstable world with record-setting high levels of conflicts, displacement, environmental change and inequalities, religious and other minorities run the risk of being demonised and scapegoated. Portrayed as threats, of being disloyal to the State or of ‘not assimilating sufficiently, religious and other minorities run the risk of being ‘otherised’ in the rising rhetoric of nationalistic populism used by political actors in an increasing number of regions of the world - and denied their basic rights to equality without any discrimination.

Profili attuali del principio “Prima sedes a nemine iudicatur”
type: item
description: Current profiles of the principle “Prima sedes a nemine iudicatur” The origin and historical transmission of the principle Prima sedes a nemine iudicatur are well known to the science of canon law. But it is necessary to deepen the constitutional content of this principle, as it does not justify any way of exercising primacy. The content and purpose of the power of the Roman Pontiff, in the light of contemporary Theology and Canon law, explain the scope and limits in the application of the Prima sedes a nemine iudicatur. SOMMARIO- 1. La sensibilità sociale attorno all'esercizio del governo - 2. Due recenti casi giudiziari in cui è stato invocato il principio del “prima sedes a nemine iudicatur”: il cosiddetto “processo del secolo” nella Città del Vaticano (2023); la controversia Cuatrecasas versus Martínez Sanz - 3.

El Decreto penal en el caso “Cuatrecasas-Martínez”. Guía de perplejos
type: item
description: The criminal decree in the ‘Cuatrecasas-Martínez’ case. A guide for the perplexed This article analyzes the canonical penal decree in the "Cuatrecasas-Martínez" case (known in the media as the "caso Gaztelueta "). The author posits that the procedure in question did not constitute a legitimate criminal trial, but rather an ad hoc disciplinary process. The study underscores several notable irregularities, including the extensive interpretation of Canon 1398 §2 and the imposition of a sanction that contravenes the principles of criminal legality and non-retroactivity. The article poses a question regarding the extent to which the authority of the papal institution can supersede fundamental legal principles and human rights. The research also identifies concerns regarding the management of evidence and an apparent reliance on the conclusions of secular courts. In conclusion, the decree appears to be a response to external pressures and media impact rather than a process that adheres to due process guarantees. SUMARIO: 1. Introducción - 2.

Sulle tracce del principio di giustizia. Diritto alla salute e consenso informato all’atto medico nel diritto europeo
type: item
description: On the trail of the principles of justice. Right to health and informed consent to the medical act in European law The right to health and the right to informed consent are related to the principle of justice. It is a principle that requires respect for the person, human dignity and the fundamental rights of every human being. It constitutes the backbone of the European Union, one of the fundamental principles that has led the construction of European law and aims to ensure that European laws and policies are fair and impartial. Its traces emerge in both the European Treaties and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. The paper aims to analyze the impact of the principle of justice on the right to health and the right to informed consent in European law, including with reference to the metaphysical and transcendental dimensions of the person, in order to highlight inadequacies, shortcomings, and strategies for intervention.

Il concetto di ordine pubblico: uno sguardo retrospettivo dai lavori preparatori dell’Assemblea Costituente
type: item
description: The concept of public order: a retrospective look at the preparatory work of the Constituent Assembly Since its initial formulation and application, the concept of public order has consistently proven difficult to define with precision. Over time, it has been interpreted through a variety of lenses: material, ideal, public, domestic, and international. This paper offers a retrospective analysis of how the concept was addressed during the constitutional debate. Specifically, it examines how public order was discussed in the reports submitted by members of the Constituent Assembly, the debates these reports generated within the various subcommittees, and, ultimately, the deliberations held during the plenary session. The aim is to clarify the origins of the concept within the Italian constitutional context, in order to provide a clearer understanding of its key aspects in the contemporary legal framework.

L’efficacia invalidante dell’atto implicito di volontà ex can. 1101, § 2
type: item
description: The Nullifying Legal Effect of the Implicit Act of Will under Canon 1101 §2 The article examines the concept of an implicit act of will under Canon 1101 § 2, which holds that a positive intent excluding an essential property of marriage - whether expressed explicity or implicity -renders consent null. After tracing the doctrine’s roots in pre‑1917 canon law and in two 19th‑century instructions of the Congregation of the Holy Office, it analyzes five jurisprudential models developed by the Roman Rota: (i) Actus in alio contentus, a direct reservation (e.g., “I may divorce if unfaithful”) that genuinely contains exclusion of indissolubility; (ii) Actus suis placitis accomodatus: inclusion in consent of a conflicting element (e.g., denial of procreation); (iii) Actus praesumptus: discredited presumption that one exclusion automatically implies another; (iv) Actus negativus: flawed theory equating omission of essential elements with positive exclusion; (v) Concludent behavior: inferring hidden intent from conduct and circumstances. The first two models are upheld as substantively valid and equivalent in effect to explicit exclusion, while the latter three are valuable only as evidentiary tools. The article concludes that implicit and explicit acts of will are both positive manifestations under Canon 1101 § 2, sharing the same invalidating force. SOMMARIO: 1- Introduzione - 2. Rilevanza sul piano sostanziale - 3. Configurazioni giurisprudenziali dell’atto implicito di volontà: a) Actus in alio contentus - b) Actus suis placitis accomodatus - c) Actus praesumptus - d) Actus negatives - e) Comportamento concludente - 4.

Le religioni sul set cinematografico: gli artt. 403-404 c.p. nelle trame della sceneggiatura
type: item
description: Religions on the film set: articles 403-404 of the Criminal Code in the plots of the screenplay Religions are often protagonists on the big screen. The roles they play vary according to the centrality of the religious element in the script. From films that represent a phenomenology of the sacred to those in which the element of faith is only an appearance, the connection between cinema and religions is close. This relationship can raise legal problems when the script offends a religious denomination by vilifying people or things. In this case the freedom of artistic expression of the filmmaker can conflict with the protection of the religious denomination and the religious sentiment of the viewer. The judges are called to balance these freedoms of equal constitutional level in order to transform the antagonism sometimes present on the film set into co-protagonism. SOMMARIO: 1.

Educazione digitale e virtuose dinamiche collettive smart
type: item
description: Digital education and virtuous smart collective dynamics We are now all part of an efficient and competitive economic development model which, in indulging the frenzy of technological progress and its excessive use in a trend of consumerism and waste, has proved unsustainable for the planet and for humankind, leading to environmental degradation and increasing inequality, injustice and the marginalisation of humanity. This contribution aims to counter this pernicious trend by highlighting the need to educate people in the ethical use of new technologies, spreading the principles of algorethics that are being developed thanks to the contribution of religious denominations. By promoting the fundamental values of human dignity and respect for the entire ecosystem, some religious bodies and associations, as well as other collective organisations with various ethical inspirations, use digital technologies to combine the need to protect the common good with that of ensuring the full realisation of their group identity. In fact, there are virtuous examples of smart collective dynamics, in which groups of individuals use multimedia platforms and artificial intelligence to achieve worthwhile goals such as social well-being, conscious consumption, saving, limiting waste and environmental pollution, sharing cultural heritage, reducing inequalities, socialising people through the internet, etc. SOMMARIO: 1. Introduzione - 2. L’educazione digitale per un uso eticamente plausibile delle nuove tecnologie - 3. La tecnologia smart quale medium tra individui e collettività nel perseguire il bene comune - 4.

Il diritto ecclesiastico tributario alla prova del primato europeo: nuove riflessioni da Corte cost. n. 20 del 2025
type: item
description: Ecclesiastical tax law facing European primacy: new reflections from Constitutional Court no. 20 of 2025 Taking as its starting point the recent judgment of the Constitutional Court No. 20 of 2025, this contribution delves into the state of the art of the interactions between national ecclesiastical law (in its tax sector) and European Union competition law. The raising of a question of constitutionality concerning the regulation of the ‘old’ ICI exemption under Article 7(1)(i) of Legislative Decree No. 504 of 1992 provides the Court with an opportunity to reaffirm the special active force of the law implementing the Villa Madama Agreement (Law No. 121 of 1984). In the background of the dispute looms the dutiful recovery of unpaid ICI for the tax years 2006-2011, ordered by the European Commission with Decision of 3 March 2023 (2103/2023/EU) and recently regulated by the national legislator with Decree-Law no. 131 of 2024. Although it did not materialise in the present case, a conflict between the self-executing legislation protecting competition and a favourable discipline derived from concordat law could evoke the spectre of counter-limits to EU law.

Il ruolo delle religioni nella costruzione della pace: l'eredità duratura dell'enciclica Pacem in terris
type: item
description: The Role of religions in peacebuilding: The enduring legacy of the encyclical Pacem in terris Religions have always played a central role in peacebuilding processes. In this context, the pontifical magisterium of John XXIII acquired particular significance, especially through the encyclical Pacem in Terris, published in 1963 in a period marked by intense international tensions. The document affirms principles such as the dignity of the person, fundamental rights and duties, and cooperation among peoples. This contribution aims to analyse whether, and to what extent, such principles have been received and further developed in subsequent pontifical magisteria, and the impact they have had on the relationship between religious denominations and state legal systems. From the analysis of magisterial texts and normative sources at both Italian and international levels, a growing juridical recognition emerges of the public relevance of religions in promoting “positive peace”. Particular attention is devoted to the Italian constitutional system and to the evolution of international law in the field of peacebuilding. SOMMARIO: 1. La religione tra conflitti e pace - 2.

The Duty of Fast: Religious Abstinence and the Quest for Food Security
type: item
description: Il “dovere del digiuno”. Astinenza dal cibo e sicurezza alimentare Despite the universal declaration of the right to food, global hunger remains a persistent crisis. Paradoxically, many of the world’s major religions incorporate fasting as a central practice, seemingly at odds with the fundamental need for sustenance. This essay explores this apparent contradiction, focusing on major religious traditions to examine the nuanced relationship between the right to food and the duty of fast. It argues that religious fasting, far from undermining food security, can cultivate values such as self-restraint, communal responsibility, and empathy for the hungry, indirectly supporting efforts to ensure more equitable access to food resources. Religious rules on fasting, in fact, can be instruments for managing the challenges of food insecurity. This paper analyses different meanings of fasting in religious laws, summarizing the altruistic view that underpins them. Moreover, this matter could be a point of the “strategy of dialogue” that is currently being developed in the EU under the umbrella of the Article 17 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union The ultimate goal is to demonstrate that religious duties can be considered valuable legal resources in achieving global food security. SOMMARIO: 1. Introduction. The right to food in international law: foundations and challenges - 2. The intersection of religious laws and food security: values, authority, and influence - 3. Duties and practices of fasting in different religious legal traditions - 4. Functions of fasting in a globalised scenario: how duties and rights support each other, a) The critical function of the fasting deontology, b) The solidaristic/altruistic function of the fasting deontology - 5.

Minoranze religiose e assistenza spirituale. Riflessioni a partire dal progetto “Atlante dei diritti delle minoranze religiose e di convinzione nell’Unione europea”
type: item
description: Religious minorities and spiritual assistance. Reflections on the project “Atlas of religious or belief minority rights” in European Union The category of religious minority is particularly relevant within the European Union, where there is a common system for the protection of religious minorities and beliefs. This allows for an assessment of Member States' promotional behaviour. Tools for measuring international human rights provisions are becoming increasingly widespread, even within religious studies. Against this backdrop, the research project Atlas of Religious or Belief Minority Rights opens up possibilities for the legal analysis of how religious minorities' rights are respected and promoted, starting from international standards in this area. From a comparative perspective, the case of spiritual assistance in separate facilities is an interesting field of investigation into the behaviour of EU Member States. Analysis of the project results highlights the need to reform the regulation of spiritual assistance, particularly in countries with a historical religious majority, to take into account the changed religious landscape in Europe. Recognition of the legal status of old and new religious and belief minorities largely determines access to rights. SOMMARIO: 1. Introduzione.

Democrazia e religioni oltre il concordato e le intese: verso una declinazione partecipativa nei rapporti tra Stato e confessioni religiose?
type: item
description: Democracy and religions beyond concordat and agreements: towards a participatory declination in relations between the State and religious denominations? Forty years after the Villa Madama agreement, which amended the Lateran Concordat, and the signing of the first agreement pursuant to Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Italian Constitution with the Waldensian Table, it seems necessary to rethink the instruments of dialogue between the State and religious denominations. This contribution proposes the use of legal instruments specific to participatory democracy in order to create a model based on multilateral dialogue between a plurality of religions, all convened by an authority, body or agency of the state, at national or local level, to address issues of common interest. Such a system would complement, but not replace, the current constitutional model and should be framed within a future general law on religious freedom. For the time being, the issues that could already be the subject of this possible dialogue, especially at the local level, are those relating to the construction of places of worship, the protection of religious cultural heritage and the environment, spiritual assistance in hospitals and the teaching of religion in public schools.

La condizione apposta al consenso matrimoniale (can. 1102) tra diritto canonico ed ecclesiastico
type: item
description: The condition attached to matrimonial consent (Canon 1102) between canonical and ecclesiastical law The study analyses the institution of the condition attached to matrimonial consent in Latin canon law (can. 1102), examining its legal nature, distinctive characteristics and implications when deliberating ecclesiastical sentences, issued on the basis of this ground of nullity, in the Italian legal system. The research highlights the peculiarity of this institute, which represents a specificity of Latin canon law with respect to both the Eastern Churches and the Italian civil legal system. Through a systematic analysis, some of the different types of condition (suspensive, resolutive, merely permissive) and their interrelations with other institutes of canon matrimonial law are examined, with particular attention to the simulation of consent. The research suggests a differentiated approach to the deliberation of sentences based on proper and improper conditions, highlighting the complexity of the institute and its relevance in the dialogue between canon and civil law, offering interpretative cues for a more effective harmonization between the two legal systems. SOMMARIO: 1. Cenni introduttivi - 2. Funzione della condizione apposta al consenso matrimoniale - 3. Breve descrizione di alcune tipologie di condizione - 3.1. La distinzione tra condizione sospensiva, risolutiva e meramente potestativa - 4. Considerazioni sulla delibazione delle sentenze ecclesiastiche di nullità matrimoniale pronunciate sulla condizione apposta al consenso - 5. Conclusioni.

description: Pontifical solicitude toward the East: mission and functions of the Dicastery for the Oriental Churches The article analyzes the birth and development of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches within the Roman Curia, as an instrument and expression of the Roman Pontiff’s care for the Eastern Catholic Churches. The establishment of the dicastery represents the culmination of a centuries-long journey, often marked by challenges and shaped by historical, ecclesiological, and legal transformations. Its functions have progressively evolved, reaching the current structure following the reform of the Roman Curia promoted by Pope Francis with the apostolic constitution Praedicate Evangelium.

Trasfusioni di sangue, dissenso e fede. Le procedure di autodeterminazione terapeutica come forma di tutela della libertà religiosa
type: item
description: Blood transfusions, dissent, faith. Therapeutic self-determination procedures as a form of protection of religious freedom The essay investigates the relevance of therapeutic selfdetermination procedures in order to protect religious freedom, where the patient’s healthcare choice is a manifestation of his religious identity. The analysis starts from a 2024 ruling by the European Court of Human Rights, which condemned the Spanish State for not having respected the therapeutic self-determination procedures established by law, without however censuring all the conducts that contributed to limiting the right to health and the right to religious freedom. These are conducts that are relevant for the purposes of quantifying the compensable damage, as appreciable in the case in which the prejudice also affects the individual religious dimension, in addition to the therapeutic self-determination of the person.

Discorso pubblico e religious hate speech nelle moderne società multiculturali
type: item
description: Public discourse and religious hate speech in modern multicultural societies After having recalled that, in the context of the phenomenology concerning hate speech, religious communities do not always take on the role of victims, this paper aims to examine the extent to which there is a substantial difference between the punishment of insult of religion and the repression of incitement to hatred. According to the author, the existence of a dimension of danger even in the insult of religion, the inseparability of hate speech from an offensive consequence on an emotional level and some border figures suggest that they are complementary forms of protection, promoting the value of mutual respect among members regardless of their religious beliefs. SOMMARIO: 1. Il carattere anticipatorio della repressione dell’hate speech a connotazione religiosa della estensione della portata applicativa dell’art. 3 della legge n. 654 del 1975, operata dall’Intesa ebraica, alle “manifestazioni di intolleranza e di pregiudizio religioso” - 2. La duplice veste che può essere assunta dalle comunità religiose nell’ambito della fenomenologia riguardante l’hate speech - 3. La diffusa convinzione circa la consistenza delle ragioni atte a giustificare la repressione dell’hate speech religiosamente connotato di fronte all’indebolimento delle motivazioni a sostegno della punizione delle offese alla religione - 4. La contaminazione dei due modelli e le peculiarità della religione islamica: a) la dimensione di pericolosità dell’offesa alla religione - 5. (segue) b) i dubbi circa le conseguenze effettivamente pericolose di molti casi di hate speech. Le particolari cautele richieste dai discorsi di personaggi politici e di altre figure pubbliche - 6. (segue) c) la difficile classificazione di alcune figure di confine - 7. Dalla pericolosità dell’hate speech alla promozione del valore del rispetto reciproco nei rapporti umani.

Quando la religione esclude. La CGUE e la discriminazione delle donne afghane
type: item
description: When Religion Excludes. The CJEU and the Discrimination Against Afghan Women On 4 October 2024, the Court of Justice of the European Union recognized that the restrictions imposed on Afghan women by the Taliban regime constitute acts of persecution, relevant for the purposes of granting refugee status. This contribution examines the legal and political significance of the ruling, reconstructing the evolution of the Afghan context - marked by structural and systemic gender-based discrimination rooted in religious precepts and tribal customs - and analyzing the development of the practice of EU Member States concerning the recognition of international protection for Afghan women.

La variabile religiosa nei Peace Studies
type: item
description: The religious shift in Peace Studies The article explores the evolving role of religion within Peace Studies, highlighting its shift from a marginal and ‘integrated presence’ to an autonomous and strategic variable in the analysis, management and transformation of conflicts. Adopting the paradigm of ‘constructive conflict’, it explores the ambivalent role of religion, which may serve either to intensify dynamics of radicalization and polarization or to foster reconciliation and social cohesion. Through a multidisciplinary approach, this study investigates the role of religious rhetoric as an internal communicative device within organizations, functioning both as a catalyst for conflicts and as a means of managing different challenges; furthermore, the paper reflects on the tools of ‘religious diplomacy’, emphasizing how interreligious dialogue and religious literacy can reinforce peacebuilding efforts. In this perspective, the religious variable emerges as a key factor for interpreting and transforming conflict dynamics, ultimately contributing to the establishment of an inclusive and lasting peace.

Geopolitica del conclave. L’intreccio fra politica e religione per comprendere un rito sacro
type: item
description: Geopolitics of the conclave. The intertwining of politics and religion in a sacred rite This paper retraces the history of episcopal elections, highlighting their evolution from a purely religious event into one laden with political implications. Politics influences the Church both ad intra, because it is itself a social institution, and ad extra, stemming from its historical interaction with temporal powers. The external political influence is exemplified by the ius exclusivae exercised by Catholic states, formally abolished at the beginning of the twentieth century. The elimination of the right of veto, however, has not freed the Pope's election from political pressures, given that he is a global leader and wields undeniable transnational political authority. The essay illustrates these aspects, explaining how the last conclave was influenced by both the reforms enacted by Benedict XVI and the evolving geopolitics of the College of Cardinals under Pope Francis. This demonstrates how papal succession is also a question of continuity/discontinuity regarding the political action (internal and external) exercised by the previous pontiff. Finally, the paper highlights how the election of Cardinal Robert F. Prevost (Leo XIV) is a consequence of these dynamics, which point less to the identification of a specific person and more to the selection of a religiously and politically capable profile that can ensure both continuity and discontinuity.

Le minoranze religiose durante la crisi sanitaria dovuta al COVID-19
type: item
description: Religious Minorities During the COVID-19 Health Crisis The health crisis caused by Covid-19 had significant effects on the protection of religious freedom. Religious minorities, who were already vulnerable and marginalized, were disproportionately affected by the pandemic.The present paper aims to analyze whether and to what extent the COVID-19 emergency affected the status of religious minorities. Starting from an analysis of the protection enjoyed by religious minorities within the framework of international law, the first section investigates the discriminatory measures that were suffered by some minority groups (Rohingya and Uighurs) following the adoption of emergency rules. Such measures were formally "justified" by governments in the name of the need to contain the spread of COVID-19. The second section examines the impact that restrictions of religious freedom on minority religious groups in the European legal scenario, focusing on some cases of indirect discrimination. The third section constitutes an economic investigation aimed at verifying the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on religious denominations. This section takes into consideration the religious denominations as operators in a market similar to monopolistic competition, in order to verify which religious actors suffered the greatest economic damage, with regard to the Italian context. The fourth section focuses on the conflicts between the ethical-religious beliefs of members of minority denominations and the state-imposed obligation of vaccinations during the second phase of the management of the pandemic. Finally, the paper aims to identify possible strategies to be pursued in terms of social cohesion and constructive dialogue between different value systems, with a view to adopting effectively inclusive anti-discrimination public policies, capable of concretely balancing the specific needs of minority groups with the needs of protecting public health, safety and sustainability.

Ordine pubblico dello Stato e i diritti religiosi familiari. Sostenibilità e limiti di una relazione giuridica in evoluzione
type: item
description: Public order and religious family rights. Sustainability and limits of an evolving legal relationship The evolution of the public order clause in the nexus between civil and religious legal systems assumes particular significance when contemplated within the context of personal statutes of family law, particularly within Islamic tradition. In addition to its historically function as an instrument for the protection of state sovereignty and a guarantee of respect for the inviolability of fundamental principles, recent developments have enhanced the capacity of public order to mediate between different visions of personal relations within multicultural societies. In this dynamic, the not always univocal solutions expressed by recent jurisprudence of legitimacy denote an ever changing use of the substantial and procedural public order. The reference to the evaluation of the effects of the specific case does not, however, seem to diminish the need to define public order in relation to the protection of the most vulnerable subjects from the effects deriving from the introduction, or blocking, of those legal institutions of family law that involve them.

Chiesa cattolica e intelligenza artificiale: dalla Rome Call for AI Ethics alle Linee guida vaticane
type: item
description: Holy See and artificial intelligence: from the Rome Call for AI Ethics to the Vatican Guidelines The article analyses the Catholic Church’s positive action to promote a development of artificial intelligence that is compatible with the common good. In addition to the many interventions by Pope Francis, the Holy See in the Rome Call for AI Ethics identified a series of fundamental ethical principles for the construction of an artificial intelligence that respects human dignity. Representatives of other religious denominations have also adhered to this important document, placing the foundations of an algoretic elaborated through new practices of interreligious dialogue projected to promote the good of man beyond the frontiers of the digital world. The final section analyzes the Guidelines on artificial intelligence published by the Pontifical Commission for Vatican City State. SOMMARIO: 1.
