Stopping war is possible says Mattarella

(ANSA) - ROME, APR 4 - President Sergio Mattarella said Monday that it is possible to stop war even as conflict rages in Ukraine in his message for the International Day for Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action.
    "This is a time that makes us understand even better the value of peaceful co-existence, of the respect of international conventions to reduce the impact of wars on populations, of cooperation between peoples," Mattarella said in a massage to Santina Bianchini, the head of the Italian Campaign Against Mines (Campagna Italiana Contro le Mine Onlus).
    "Stopping wars and destruction is possible, affirming everywhere the reasons of human civilization that we do not intend to disregard.
    "Every war is inhuman," the head of State continued.
    "Decisions can be taken in wars that are so cruel that they cut through every limit of horror.
    "Planting landmines and using special explosives that am to terrorize the population and cause massacres of unarmed civilians is one of these and it is a crime against humanity that is added to the responsibility for conflict". (ANSA).
