The General Assembly

Having considered

the report of the Conference on Disarmament,

0F

1

Convinced

that the Conference on Disarmament, as the sole multilateral

disarmament negotiating forum of the international community, has the primary role

in substantive negotiations on priority questions of disarmament,

Recognizing

the video message by the Secretary-General, as well as the

addresses by Ministers for Foreign Affairs and other high-level officials in the

Conference on Disarmament, as expressions of support for the endeavours of the

Conference and its role as the sole multilateral disarmament negotiating forum,

Recognizing also

the need to conduct multilateral negotiations with the aim of

reaching agreement on concrete issues,

Recalling

, in this respect, that the Conference on Disarmament has a number

of urgent and important issues for negotiation,

Considering

that the present international climate should give additional

impetus to multilateral negotiations with the aim of reaching concrete agreements,

Noting with appreciation

the initiative of the Secretary-General in convening

the high-level meeting on revitalizing the work of the Conference on Disarmament

and taking forward multilateral disarmament negotiations, held on 24 September

2010, and acknowledging the support expressed by high-level officials at the

meeting,

Noting with concern

that the Conference on Disarmament has been unable to

commence its substantive work, including negotiations, as envisaged by the General

Assembly in its resolution 64/64 of 2 December 2009, or to agree on a programme

of work,
