UNIDIR
United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research Institut des Nations Unies pour la Recherche sur le Desarmement
UNIDIR is an autonomous institution within the framework of the United Nations. It was established in 1980 by the General Assembly for the purpose of undertaking independent research on disarmament and related problems, particularly international security issues.
The work of the Institute aims at:
- Providing the international community with more diversified and complete data on problems relating to international security, the armaments race, and disarmament in all fields, particularly in the nuclear field, so as to facilitate progress, through negotiations, toward greater security for all States and toward the economic and social development of all peoples;
- Promoting informed participation by all States in disarmament efforts;
- Assisting ongoing negotiations in disarmament and continuing efforts to ensure greater international security at a progressively lower level of armaments; particularly nuclear armaments, by means of objective and factual studies and analyses;
- Carrying out more in-depth, forward looking, and long-term research on disarmament, so as to provide a general insight into the problems involved, and stimulating new initiatives for new negotiations.
The contents of UNIDIR publications are the responsibility of the authors and not of UNIDIR. Although UNIDIR takes no position on the view and conclusions expressed by the authors of its research reports, it does assume responsibility for determining whether they merit publication.
