About the product
This study has been prepared by the Group of Governmental Experts on Regional Disarmament appointed by the Secretary-General to assist him in carrying out a systematic study of all the aspects of regional disarmament, as requested in paragraph 3 of resolution 33/91 E adopted by- the General Assembly on 16 December 1978. The Secretary-General notes that, whereas certain important regional measures have already been adopted and other measures are currently under negotiation, the study indicates that there is considerable room for further efforts in this direction. The study further indicates that disarmament efforts in a regional context, while not being a substitute for efforts at the global level, could greatly facilitate the achievement of global disarmament measures.
