UN sez conference on disarmament is not going well | |
2006-01-27 | |
Director-General of the United Nations Office at Geneva Sergei Ordzhonikidze announced Thursday that the Disarmament Conference (CD) is not performing well. Sergei Ordzhonikidze made this announcement at the Conference on Disarmament, the world's sole multilateral forum for disarmament negotiations. In 2005, the Conference was not able to reach agreement on a program of work -- the seventh consecutive year during which it was unable to do so -- and so was unable to start work on substantive issues. While there was agreement on most of the elements of a program, the main differences remained on the matters of prevention of an arms race in outer space and nuclear disarmament. This session will last till 31 March, will pick up again from May 15 to June 30, and from 31 July to 15 September.

#4 Who exactly is this committee trying to disarm? In theory: the planet. In practice: the US and Israel. In earnest: Nobody--its just an excuse to hold a conference, look important, misuse some funds, and seem important while accomplishing nothing of impact. |
