Securing Our Common Future
April 30, 2021.
The UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced on 24 May 2018 his Agenda for Disarmament, which outlines a set of practical measures across the entire range of disarmament issues, including weapons of mass destruction, conventional arms and future weapon technologies. It seeks to generate fresh perspectives and to explore areas where serious dialogue is required to bring disarmament back to the heart of our common efforts for peace and security. It proposes solutions, and it raises questions aiming to reinvigorate dialogue and negotiations on international disarmament, stimulate new ideas and create new momentum.
The agenda also integrates disarmament into the priorities of the whole United Nations system, laying the foundations for new partnerships and greater collaboration between different parts of the UN and Governments, civil society, the private sector and others. The Agenda includes contributions from many member states independent experts and members of civil society. Secretary-General António Guterres hopes this disarmament agenda will help set our world on a path towards sustainable peace and security for all.
