United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (ODA)

The United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (ODA) is a UN department dedicated to promoting global peace and security through disarmament efforts. It works to prevent the spread of weapons, including nuclear, chemical, and biological arms, by encouraging countries to reduce or eliminate their arsenals. ODA also supports treaties and agreements aimed at limiting weapons, enhances international cooperation on security risks, and promotes dialogue to prevent conflicts. Its goal is to create a safer world by reducing the threat of weapons of mass destruction and encouraging responsible arms management among nations.
