"This UN study was prepared by a group of ten government experts, as well as agencies involved in disarmament education, in light of the need to promote concerted international efforts at disarmament and non-proliferation, especially in the field of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems. It builds upon previous contributions relating to disarmament education, but also addresses new developments such as the significance of weapons of mass destruction, the spread of small arms, and gender perspectives on security issues."
