A Message from the Author

A quick video introduction from the home office.

Hi and welcome to this learning unit. My name is Federica Dall’Arche and I am the nonproliferation and disarmament researcher at Istituto Affari Internazionali.

I am also a consultant to the Italian presidency of the council of ministers. This learning unit is dedicated to the United Nations disarmament machinery. I will be very happy to guide you through it, exploring with you not only the historical steps that led to its creation, but also its structure and role.

I really hope you will enjoy it and thank you for choosing our EUNPDC eLearning courses. Ciao.

Next Chapter1. Introduction

Humankind has always been disturbed by the use of particularly cruel methods of warfare. The establishment of the UN disarmament machinery is among the most important actions we have taken to restrict the use of such methods.
