Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 5 December 2007

[on the report of the First Committee (A/62/391)]

62/27. Promotion of multilateralism in the area of disarmament

and non-proliferation

The General Assembly

,

Determined

to foster strict respect for the purposes and principles enshrined in

the Charter of the United Nations,

Recalling

its resolution 56/24 T of 29 November 2001 on multilateral

cooperation in the area of disarmament and non-proliferation and global efforts

against terrorism and other relevant resolutions, as well as its resolutions 57/63 of

22 November 2002, 58/44 of 8 December 2003, 59/69 of 3 December 2004, 60/59

of 8 December 2005 and 61/62 of 6 December 2006 on the promotion of

multilateralism in the area of disarmament and non-proliferation,

Recalling also

the purpose of the United Nations to maintain international

peace and security and, to that end, to take effective collective measures for the

prevention and removal of threats to the peace and for the suppression of acts of

aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means,

and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or

settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the

peace, as enshrined in the Charter,

Recalling further

the United Nations Millennium Declaration,

1

which states,

inter alia, that the responsibility for managing worldwide economic and social

development, as well as threats to international peace and security, must be shared

among the nations of the world and should be exercised multilaterally and that, as

the most universal and most representative organization in the world, the United

Nations must play the central role,

Convinced

that, in the globalization era and with the information revolution,

arms regulation, non-proliferation and disarmament problems are more than ever the

concern of all countries in the world, which are affected in one way or another by

these problems and, therefore, should have the possibility to participate in the

negotiations that arise to tackle them,
