The UN General Assembly unanimously adopted a new pact on disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration on 14 June.
The agreement aims to help countries prevent conflict, resolve disputes peacefully, and promote human security and well-being. The new pact builds on the UN’s long-standing commitment to non-proliferation and the prevention of conflict. It also reaffirms the importance of dialogue and cooperation in the resolution of disputes.
The new pact also recognizes the role of civil society, the private sector, and national human rights mechanisms in the prevention and resolution of conflict. It highlights the importance of addressing the underlying causes of conflict, including poverty, inequality, and climate change.
The pact encourages the parties to engage in comprehensive negotiations and reach a mutually beneficial solution.
