Disarmament

The United Nations Disarmament Commission (UNDC) is a deliberative body and a subsidiary organ of the UN general assembly charged with making considerations and recommendations on various disarmament related issues and to follow up the relevant decisions and considerations of the special sessions devoted to disarmament held so far.

The disarmament commission was re established at the first Special Session of the general assembly devoted to disarmament in 1978 to succeed the defunct earlier disarmament commission which ceased to convene after 1965.

Since 1978 the disarmament commission has dealt with numerous disarmament related questions both nuclear and conventional and has submitted guidelines and principles on various subject items including guidelines for the development of Nuclear energy, disarmament with the context of global security, and confidence building measures.
