Overview
- Two Pakistan-sponsored texts titled “Regional disarmament” and “Confidence-building measures in the regional and sub-regional contexts” were adopted by consensus.
- Resolutions on “negative security assurances” for non‑nuclear‑weapon states and on “conventional arms control at the regional and subregional levels” passed with overwhelming support.
- Pakistan’s UN mission said the votes underscore international emphasis on formal assurances against nuclear use or threats directed at non‑nuclear states.
- Islamabad framed the outcome as endorsement of regional and subregional approaches to arms control and confidence-building alongside global mechanisms.
- The committee action follows a May Pakistan–India clash that renewed concern about escalation risks between nuclear neighbors.
