- Promoting general disarmament
- Campaigning for disarmament
Description
Promoting disarmament involves implementing measures to reduce, control, or eliminate weapons, particularly those of mass destruction, through international agreements, verification mechanisms, and confidence-building initiatives. The strategy aims to prevent armed conflict, decrease military expenditures, and enhance global security by fostering transparency, trust, and cooperation among nations. Practical actions include negotiating treaties, enforcing compliance, supporting disarmament education, and facilitating the safe destruction or conversion of weapons stockpiles to address proliferation and arms race concerns.
Implementation
The Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) called for international regulations on the conventional weapons trade in 1976. Disarmament questions are regularly on the agenda of IPU Conferences, such as in April 1993, when a resolution was adopted calling for more support for a global register of arms transfers.
