DESCRIPTION:\n	Disarmament Week seeks to promote awareness and better un
	derstanding of disarmament issues and their cross-cutting importance. Star
	ting on 24 October\, the anniversary of the founding of the United Nations
	\, the week-long annual observance was first called for in the Final Docum
	ent of the General Assembly’s 1978 special session on disarmament (resol
	ution S-10/2). In 1995\, the General Assembly invited governments\, as wel
	l as NGOs\, to continue taking an active part in Disarmament Week (resolut
	ion 50/72 B\, 12 December 1995) in order to promote a better understanding
	 among the public of disarmament issues.\n\n\n\n	Throughout history\, coun
	tries have pursued disarmament to build a safer\, more secure world and to
	 protect people from harm. Since the foundation of the United Nations\, di
	sarmament and arms control have played a critical role in preventing and e
	nding crises and armed conflict. Heightened tensions and dangers are bette
	r resolved through serious political dialogue and negotiation—not by mor
	e arms.\n\n\n\n	Weapons of mass destruction\, in particular nuclear weapon
	s\, continue to be of primary concern\, owing to their destructive power a
	nd the threat that they pose to humanity. The excessive accumulation and i
	llicit trade in conventional weapons jeopardize international peace and se
	curity and sustainable development\, while the use of heavy conventional w
	eapons in populated areas is seriously endangering civilians. New and emer
	ging weapon technologies\, such as autonomous weapons\, imperil global sec
	urity and have received increased attention from the international communi
	ty in recent years.\n\n\n\n	Measures for disarmament are pursued for many 
	reasons\, including to maintain international peace and security\, uphold 
	the principles of humanity\, protect civilians\, promote sustainable devel
	opment\, foster confidence and trust among States\, and prevent and end ar
	med conflict. Disarmament and arms control measures help ensure internatio
	nal and human security in the 21st Century and therefore must be an integr
	al part of a credible and effective collective security system.\n\n\n\n	Th
	e United Nations continues to celebrate the efforts and involvement of a r
	ange of actors contributing to a safer\, more peaceful common future throu
	gh disarmament\, arms control and non-proliferation efforts.\n\n\n\n	In a 
	world threatened by weapons of mass destruction\, conventional arms and em
	erging cyberwarfare\, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres p
	resented a new agenda for disarmament to save humanity\, save lives and se
	cure our common future.\n\n
