First Committee: Multilateralism Endorsed as Committee Completes Work The U.N. First Committee on Disarmament (see GSN, Nov. 6) completed its work for the year yesterday, approving a draft resolution on the importance of multilateralism. The draft resolution would assert that multilateralism is a core principle in maintaining international security and would call on U.N. members to maintain and strengthen universal norms of nonproliferation and disarmament. The committee approved the draft resolution without a vote. This year, the committee approved 51 draft texts, the bulk of which addressed nuclear weapons and related issues. The approved texts also included resolutions on biological and chemical weapons and several measures on small arms, landmines, and regional disarmament efforts (U.N. release, Nov. 6).
