Description

DISARMAMENT

Disarmament alone will not produce world peace. But the elimination of weapons of mass destruction, illicit arms trafficking, and burgeoning weapons stockpiles could advance both peace and development goals. As global military spending increases, can anything be done to prevent a new worldwide arms race? In this edition of World Chronicle, jayantha Dhanapala, Under-Secretary-General of the Department for Disarmament Affairs at the United Nations, talks about practical measures for ridding the world of both mass-destruction and conventional weapons.
