Weapons of Mass Destruction

Transparency and Confidence-building
Other Disarmament Issues

Conceived as a comprehensive introduction to a field central to the work of the United Nations, Disarmament: A Basic Guide aims to provide a useful overview of the nuanced challenges of building a more peaceful world in the twenty-first century. It was written with the general reader in mind and it strives to be accessible without downplaying the complexity of the issues it explores.

With a foreword by the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, the Yearbook summarizes developments and trends in 2016 on key issues of multilateral consideration at the international and regional levels; reviews the activities of the General Assembly, the Conference on Disarmament and the Disarmament Commission; and contains a timeline of highlights of multilateral disarmament in 2015.

The Implementation Support Unit of the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) which is based within the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs has prepared an information brochure about the Convention. Produced with financial assistance from the European Union, the document describes in an easily understandable manner the importance and benefits of the Convention.

The nascent movement to enact a treaty to ban nuclear weapons has reframed the focus of nuclear weapons from defense strategies to the problems associated with their humanitarian and environmental consequences. This volume of Civil Society Engagement in Disarmament Processes presents a case for a nuclear weapons ban treaty as a vital first step in nuclear weapons’ ultimate abolition.
