Archbishop El Kassis, the permanent observer of the Holy See, urged the United Nations to prioritize spending on education, food, and health over military expenses. Speaking during the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York, he called for a reorientation of global finance to make peace a priority.

El Kassis delivered four speeches before two commissions. His remarks addressed the involvement of developing nations in fiscal decision-making, the role of the family, the protection of children, and the promotion of women.
