UNIDIR regularly delivers quarterly briefings for all United Nations regional groups covering a diverse range of disarmament and arms control topics.
Past briefings have supported regional groups e.g. in their preparations for review conferences, meetings of states parties or for sessions of Open-Ended Working Groups, but have also shared best practices and socialised the use of UNIDIR’s tools.
You can rewatch past regional briefings on UNIDIR’s YouTube channel. Upcoming regional briefings will be announced on our event page and through social media.
