Report of the Conference on Disarmament
The General Assembly,
Having considered the report of the Conference on Disarmament, 1
Recalling its resolution 75/83 of 7 December 2020,
Convinced that the Conference on Disarmament, as the single multilateral
disarmament negotiating forum of the international community, has the primary role
in substantive negotiations on priority questions of disarmament,
Recognizing the addresses of the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and other highlevel officials in the Conference on Disarmament, and referring to their various
expressions of support for and concern about the endeavours of the Conference and
calls for the Conference to commence negotiations without delay to advance
disarmament goals through the adoption of a balanced and comprehensive programme
of work,
Recognizing also the need to conduct multilateral negotiations with the aim of
reaching agreement on concrete issues, and emphasizing the importanc e of effective
multilateralism in the context of the changing international climate,
Noting with renewed concern that, despite the intensive efforts by States
members and Presidents of the Conference on Disarmament at its 2021 session to
reach consensus on a programme of work on the basis of relevant proposals and
suggestions, the Conference did not succeed in commencing its substantive work by
means of negotiations or agree to a programme of work,
