humanitarian disarmament

Humanitarian disarmament involves efforts to reduce or eliminate weapons that cause unnecessary suffering, such as landmines, small arms, and chemical weapons. Its goal is to protect civilians and promote peace by banning or controlling the use of these weapons through international agreements and policies. This approach prioritizes human safety and dignity, seeking to prevent conflicts and minimize harm during wars or post-conflict recovery, ultimately aiming for a safer, more secure world where weapons are kept from causing needless suffering.
