Disarmament is integral to the safeguarding and promotion of
security, development, and human rights. Hundreds of millions of
dollars are spent each year on disarmament operations, yet no
comprehensive guide exists to explain clearly the international
rules governing disarmament. This book seeks to fill that gap. It
describes the international legal rules that govern disarmament and
the operational, political, and technical considerations that
govern their implementation. This book aims to support compliance,
implementation, and further development of international
disarmament law. Traditionally, disarmament focused on weapons of
mass destruction. This remains a critically important area of work.
In recent decades, the scope of disarmament has broadened to
encompass also conventional weapons, including through the adoption
of rules and regulations to govern arms transfers and measures to
eliminate specific munitions from stockpiles and to destroy
explosive remnants of war. There have also been four "generations"
of programmes to address small arms and light weapons at national
or sub-national level through disarmament, demobilisation, and
reintegration (DDR) programmes during and following the end of
armed conflict. While an internationally accepted definition of
disarmament does not yet exist, it is widely agreed that
disarmament encompasses or interrelates with prohibitions and
restrictions on the development, production, stockpiling, testing,
and transfer of weapons and on their destruction. In addition to
clarifying these elements, chapters of this guide will also
consider the relationship between disarmament and the law of armed
conflict, and with the United Nations Security Council, human
security, public health, and non-state actors.
