Deeply honoured to be received by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican, and grateful for his warm welcome. I thanked His Holiness @Pontifex for his strong voice in support of peace, human dignity, dialogue and multilateralism. His encyclical Magnifica Humanitas on “safeguarding the human person in the time of AI” resonates profoundly with @UNESCO’s mission and with our guiding principle: #ForThePeople. At a time when artificial intelligence is transforming our societies, His Holiness’s call to safeguard humanity, critical thinking and the search for truth echoes UNESCO’s work through our 2021 Recommendation on the Ethics of AI and our commitment to Media and Information Literacy. UNESCO and the Holy See share a deep commitment to education, culture, science and ethics— to ensure that technology serves humanity and human rights, and that peace is built through dialogue, knowledge and human dignity.

Congratulations to the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate for the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize. Their collective commitment to journalism under extreme conditions is a powerful testament to courage and determination.

Journalism shapes peace. Access to reliable, verified information is not optional; it is fundamental to building peaceful, just and resilient societies. When information is manipulated, it fuels division and erodes trust. When it is free and truthful, it strengthens accountability, fosters dialogue and upholds human rights. On #WorldPressFreedomDay, @UNESCO calls for the protection of freedom of expression and support for journalism as a pillar of peace. unesco.org/en/days/press-fre…
