Pope Leo XIV has urged law enforcement agencies around the world to strengthen their efforts against drug trafficking, describing the issue as a growing threat to public well-being and social stability. His comments were made during an address at a global summit on faith and justice held at the Vatican.

In his remarks, Pope Leo XIV emphasized the serious harm caused by drug trafficking and the importance of addressing both the supply and demand sides of the issue. He called for a collaborative approach that balances firm legal action with support for education, rehabilitation, and social development.

“The fight against drug trafficking is not just a legal challenge, it’s a human one,” the pontiff said, calling for compassion and fairness in addressing the broader impact of addiction and poverty.
