Conference on Disarmament (CD)

The Conference on Disarmament (CD) is an international forum based in Geneva, Switzerland, where countries discuss and negotiate agreements to reduce or eliminate weapons, particularly nuclear arms. Established in 1979, the CD aims to promote global security by preventing arms races and fostering disarmament. It brings together 65 member states to address various issues, including chemical and biological weapons, and the prevention of an arms race in outer space. The CD plays a crucial role in global efforts to enhance peace and security, but its effectiveness has been challenged by differing national interests and geopolitical tensions.
