Expanding Minds for Peace and Development
The virtual launch event will address the role of disarmament education in advancing disarmament efforts and in contributing to other UN global agendas, as well as the centrality of partnerships in achieving such goals. It will feature opening remarks by the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs and a panel discussion with distinguished experts and representatives of key stakeholder groups, including government, the media, academia and former participants of UNODA’s flagship educational and youth initiatives.
MoreIn this course, participants will be introduced to the basic terminologies and concepts on gender and small arms and light weapons (SALW) and the important connection between gender and SALW control. Participants will also learn about how to prevent arms-related gender-based violence and will get familiar with the entry points for gender-responsive operational small arms control programming and implementation at various levels.
MoreOn the occasion of the first International Day for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Awareness, UNODA, in partnership with the Permanent Missions of the Kyrgyz Republic and the Republic of Korea, is organizing a Vienna Conversation Series event. The distinguished panellists will explore various dimensions of the issues related to the impact of advances in science and technologies on international security through the lens of diversity and inclusion, leveraging the power of disarmament education to engage diverse stakeholders, especially new generations, in an inclusive and sustained manner.
MoreIn this short course, trainees will learn about the threats posed by chemical and biological weapons, the international efforts to ban such weapons, and the verification regime in place. The course will introduce the UN Secretary-General’s Mechanism established to investigate cases when these weapons have been allegedly used, and will examine the UN documents and resolutions linked to the mechanism, its operational work, key partner organisations and past examples when the mechanism was implemented.
MoreModerated by Ms. Melissa Fleming (United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Global Communications), the event will provide an opportunity to exchange views on the humanitarian impact of weapons and the role of humanitarian disarmament in advancing international peace and security and a new vision for disarmament. It will seek to identify best practices in promoting the practical application of humanitarian principles and gender-responsive approaches in disarmament, arms control and non-proliferation efforts across regions.
MoreThis roundtable-style Vienna Conversation Series event aims to engage youth in a dynamic exchange of views with the High Representative for Disarmament Affairs to raise awareness of disarmament’s centrality in addressing global challenges and to amplify fresh thinking on the future trajectory and vision for disarmament in an era of uncertainty.
