DESCRIPTION:\n	(A/RES/77/51)\n\n\n\n	On December 7\, 2022\, the UN Gener
	al Assembly unanimously supported the initiative of Kyrgyzstan and adopted
	 a resolution on proclaiming 5th of March as the International Day for Dis
	armament and Non-Proliferation Awareness.\n\n\n\n	The international commun
	ity takes special notice of the dangers posed by weapons of mass destructi
	on and the need to raise awareness about them\, especially among youth. Di
	sarmament and non-proliferation education is a valuable tool for achieving
	 this objective and can provide the knowledge and critical thinking skills
	 essential for achieving concrete measures.\n\n\n\n	Reaffirming its commit
	ment to the policy of peace\, diplomacy\, nuclear disarmament and preventi
	on of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction\, Kyrgyzstan propos
	ed to the international community to declare 5th of March as the Internati
	onal Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness (The Treaty on th
	e Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons entered into force on 5 March 1970)
	.\n\n\n\n	This initiative is particularly important and relevant precisely
	 at the present time when the world is going through one of the strongest 
	crises of geopolitical confrontation. In this regard\, the initiative of K
	yrgyzstan will contribute to the strengthening of international peace and 
	security and will increase the prospect that future generations will live 
	in a world without nuclear weapons.\n\n\n\n	Commemoration of the Internati
	onal Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness annually will con
	tribute to raising the salience of disarmament and non-proliferation educa
	tion and will provide an opportunity on a regular basis for representative
	s of national governments\, international organizations\, academe\, and ci
	vil society to consider concrete and practical measures for the implementa
	tion of the recommendations of the Secretary-General’s report.\n\n\n\n	A
	bout 40 UN Member States co-sponsored resolution\, Japan\, USA\, China\, T
	ürkiye\, Kazakhstan\, Turkmenistan\, Uzbekistan\, Azerbaijan\, Venezuela\
	, Armenia\, Nicaragua\, Bahamas\, Belarus\, Bolivia\, Chile\, Colombia\, C
	uba\, Dominica\, El Salvador\, Georgia\, Guatemala\, Guyana\, Honduras\, H
	ungary\, Kiribati\, Lebanon\, Malawi\, Mexico\, Mongolia\, Oman\, Peru\, S
	ingapore\, Viet Nam and Zambia.\n\n\n\n	It should also be noted that\, bei
	ng an active supporter of the idea of a nuclear weapons free world\, Kyrgy
	zstan became one of the initiators and depository of the Treaty on a Nucle
	ar-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia\, where it is also the current Chairma
	n. In this regard\, by the submission of Kyrgyzstan the UN General Assembl
	y also unanimous adopted the updated resolution entitled “Treaty on a Nu
	clear-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia.”\n\n
