Abstract

Neutralnost se najjednostavnije može definirati kao politika nepodupiranja jedne od sukobljenih strana. Trajna neutralnost odnosi se na zabranu stacioniranja stranih postrojba na teritoriju države koja provodi politiku trajne neutralnosti te se odnosi na suzdržanost od pridruživanja vojnim savezima, bez obzira na to radi li se o ratnom ili mirnodopskom vremenu. Vatikan je Lateranskim sporazumom iz 1929. trajno neutralna država. Status neutralnosti koristio je kako bi medijacijom rješavao međunarodne sukobe, oslanjajući se na svoju duhovnu i moralnu moć, odnosno autoritet te na vjerske vrijednosti. Nekoliko je primjera uspješne vatikanske medijacije na području Bliskog istoka, uz suvremene apele svim stranama. Isti poticaji Vatikana na dijalog i pregovore prisutni su kod rusko-ukrajinskog sukoba, u čemu se vidi pozitivna neutralnost. Legalna neutralnost prisutna je u slučaju Poljske u vrijeme komunističke vlasti. Jedina situacija u kojoj Vatikan nije neutralan jest prema nuklearnom oružju, u čijem ograničenju prepoznaje smanjivanje razine međunarodnih sukoba.

Abstract (english)

In the simplest terms, neutrality can be defined as a policy of not supporting one of the conflicting sides. Permanent neutrality implies the prohibition of the stationing of foreign troops on the territory of a state that implements a policy of permanent neutrality. Also, it refers to the reticence to join military alliances, regardless of whether it is wartime or peacetime. The Vatican adopted permanent neutrality with the Lateran Treaty of 1929. It used this status to resolve international conflicts through mediation, relying on spiritual and moral power and religious values. There are several examples of successful mediation in the Middle East, with contemporary appeals to all parties. The same incentives for dialogue and negotiations are present in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, which shows positive neutrality. Legal neutrality is present in the case of Poland during communist rule. One situation in which the Vatican is not neutral is towards nuclear weapons, the limitation of which means fewer international conflicts.
