About the committee

The Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) is one of the six main committees of the United Nations General Assembly, dedicated to addressing matters of global peace and security. It provides a platform for member states to collaborate on solutions to challenges such as disarmament, arms control, the regulation of weapons of mass destruction, and the prevention of the arms race. DISEC also addresses regional conflicts, the peaceful use of outer space, and the impact of new technologies on international security. While it does not have the power to enforce binding decisions, DISEC plays a vital role in drafting recommendations, building consensus, and shaping international security policies that are later considered by the General Assembly or the Security Council. By bringing together diplomats, policymakers, and experts, DISEC fosters cooperation, encourages dialogue, and develops frameworks to reduce global tensions. Through its work, the committee contributes significantly to promoting peace, stability, and multilateral action in addressing the pressing security issues of our time.
