NEW YORK: Pakistan has been elected as the chairman of the United Nations Disarmament Commission at its 2024 session.

The commission is mandated with coming up with recommendations on various issues in the field of disarmament.

At the session of the commission, Pakistan’s deputy permanent representative to the UN Ambassador Usman Jadoon said his country would keep the tradition of multilateral diplomacy and be an honest broker and a facilitator of dialogue.

In 1952, the General Assembly, by its resolution 502 (VI) of January 1952, created the United Nations Disarmament Commission (UNDC) under the Security Council with a mandate to prepare proposals for a treaty for the regulation, limitation and balanced reduction of all armed forces and all armaments, including the elimination of all weapons of mass destruction.
