Study on Conventional Disarmament
The Disarmament Study Series highlights United Nations General Assembly studies in the field of disarmament undertaken by groups of governmental experts. This report is pursuant to General Assembly resolution 36/97 A of 9 December 1981. While the subject of conventional arms and armed forces, in its widest sense, has been accorded attention in other contexts in the united Nations - such as studies on regional disarmament, the economic and social consequences of the arms race and the relationship between disarmament and development - this study constitutes the first effort at a comprehensive consideration of the subject as a whole.
