In the wake of the Russian invasion and war in Ukraine, the United Nations (UN) appears to be preparing to resurrect a global disarmament process which was discontinued more than 30 years ago.

Key Points: 
  • In the wake of the Russian invasion and war in Ukraine, the United Nations (UN) appears to be preparing to resurrect a global disarmament process which was discontinued more than 30 years ago.
  • UN special sessions on disarmament were held in 1978, 1982, and 1988, but a fourth never occurred.

Disarmament machinery

    • For the disarmament agenda to progress, its machinery needs to be revisited.
    • It could also organise negotiations towards a general and complete disarmament (GCD) agenda, as per Scrap Weapons’ work on transparency mechanisms and a draft framework for a treaty on general and complete disarmament.

Defence spending on the rise

    • In the days that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, many states increased their defence spending.
    • In all, 29 European states pledged a total of more than US$209 billion (£163.5 billion) in new defence funding.
    • Meanwhile, global military spending continues to rise and has passed an estimated US$2.2 trillion.

New Agenda for Peace

    • In light of this, there has never been a more pressing time for SSOD-IV to be adopted as part of the UN’s New Agenda for Peace.
    • With the recent release of the New Agenda for Peace policy brief, as a forward-thinking document paving the way for a revitalised UN, the implementation of disarmament processes more suited to our current era seems possible.
    • The activation of a special session on disarmament could allow for the development of an effective programme of peace and prevention.
    • But for the first time in 30 years, mentions of a special session on disarmament in the UN’s New Agenda for Peace make a renaissance in disarmament look possible.
