Disarament and International Security Committee

The United Nations General Assembly First Committee, or the Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) is one of the six main organs of the United Nations General Assembly. The committee works closely with the United Nations Disarmament Commission and the Geneva Conference on Disarmament. It is the only Main Committee of the General Assembly entitled to verbatim records coverage. Arguably the principal committee of the General Assembly, DISEC deals with crucial disarmament and international security issues, while ensuring that citizens around the world remain protected. Particularly, DISEC is concerned with regulating member states’ armaments, informed by the United Nations’ goal of total disarmament.
