Disarmament: A Basic Guide

International peace and security - and therefore disarmament - stand at the core of the UN mandate. The publications in this series are designed to inform, educate and generate public understanding of the importance of multilateral action, and to rally support for it, in the field of arms limitation and disarmament. Intended primarily for the general reader, the basic guides may also be useful for the disarmament educator or trainer. They are published by the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs in collaboration with the NGO (non-governmental organizations) Committee on Disarmament, Peace and Security pursuant to the purposes of the United Nations Disarmament Information Programme.
