Resolution adopted by the General Assembly
on 6 December 2021
[on the report of the First Committee (A/76/444, para. 93)]
76/33.
Compliance with non-proliferation, arms limitation and
disarmament agreements and commitments
The General Assembly,
Recalling its decision 75/517 of 7 December 2020 and relevant resolutions on
the question,
Recognizing the abiding concern of all Member States for ensuring respect for
the rights and obligations arising from treaties to which they are parties and from
other sources of international law,
Convinced that observance by Member States of the Charter of the United
Nations and compliance with non-proliferation, arms limitation and disarmament
agreements to which they are parties and with other agreed obligations are essential
for regional and global peace, security and stability,
Stressing that failure by States parties to comply with such agreements and with
other agreed obligations not only adversely affects the security of States parties but
also can create security risks for other States relying on the constraints and
commitments stipulated in those agreements,
Stressing also that the viability and effectiveness of non-proliferation, arms
limitation and disarmament agreements and of other agreed obligations require that
those agreements be fully complied with and enforced,
Concerned by non-compliance by some States with their respective obligations,
Noting that verification and compliance, and enforcement in a manner consistent
with the Charter, are integrally related,
Recognizing the importance of and support for effective national, regional and
international capacities for such verification, compliance and enforcement,
