UN Institute for Disarmament Research

We conduct independent research on disarmament and issues relating to international security. Our mission is to support UN Member States, the United Nations, the disarmament policy community and other stakeholders in identifying and advancing ideas and practical actions that contribute to a sustainable and peaceful world.

We promote knowledge and the informed participation of all stakeholders; generate ideas to advance practical progress, facilitating dialogue among Member States, technical and expert communities, including the private sector and civil society; and provide advice to Member States, UN entities and other partners on concrete disarmament issues.
