United Nations disarmament studies programme

Since the early 1960s, United Nations disarmament studies, authorized by General Assembly resolutions, have been carried out by the Secretary-General with the assistance of experts and consultants appointed by him. They have been prepared with the intention of, among other things, assisting the disarmament negotiating process through analysis and by providing information. Following a decision taken at the tenth special session, a board of eminent persons was established to advise the Secretary-General on various aspects of studies to be carried out under the United Nations.
