Overview
- Two texts titled “Regional disarmament” and “Confidence-building measures in the regional and sub-regional contexts” were adopted by consensus.
- The resolutions “Conclusion of effective international arrangements to assure non‑nuclear‑weapon States against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons” and “Conventional arms control at the regional and subregional levels” won overwhelming support.
- The package advances from the UN’s disarmament committee to the full General Assembly for a formal vote later in the session.
- Pakistan’s UN mission said the outcome reinforces the priority of negative security assurances and endorses regional approaches to arms control.
- The votes follow a brief but deadly India–Pakistan confrontation in May that heightened concerns about rapid escalation between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
