Introduction

This volume is the fourth of the yearbooks on disarmament prepared by the United Nations Secretariat in accordance with the recommendations of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Review of the Role of the United Nations in the Field of Disarmament which were endorsed by the General Assembly in resolution 31/90 of 14 December 1976. Since that time, the Assembly has on a number of occasions called for wider dissemination of information about the arms race and the efforts to halt and reverse it in order to mobilize world public opinion in support of the objectives of disarmament.
