Abstract: We show that parity symmetry is not spontaneously broken in the CP^N sigma model for any value of N when the coefficient of the $heta$--term becomes $heta=pi$ (mod $2pi$). The result follows from a non-perturbative analysis of the nodal structure of the vacuum functional $ps{i}_0(z)$. The dynamical role of sphalerons turns out to be very important for the argument. The result introduces severe constraints on the possible critical behavior of the models at $heta=pi$ (mod $2pi$).
