Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 2 December 2014

[on the report of the First Committee (A/69/441)]

69/75. United Nations disarmament fellowship, training and

advisory services

The General Assembly

,

Having considered

the report of the Secretary-General,

1

Recalling

its decision, contained in paragraph 108 of the Final Document of

the Tenth Special Session of the General Assembly, the first special session devoted

to disarmament,

2

to establish a programme of fellowships on disarmament, as well

as its decisions contained in annex IV to the Concluding Document of the Twelfth

Special Session of the General Assembly, the second special session devoted to

disarmament,

3

including its decision to continue the programme,

Noting

that the programme continues to contribute significantly to developing

greater awareness of the importance and benefits of disarmament and a better

understanding of the concerns of the international community in the field of

disarmament and security, as well as to enhancing the knowledge and skills of

fellows, allowing them to participate more effectively in efforts in the field of

disarmament at all levels,

Noting with satisfaction

that the programme has trained a large number of

officials from Member States throughout its 36 years of existence, many of whom

hold positions of responsibility in the field of disarmament within their own

Governments,

Recognizing

the need for Member States to take into account gender equality

when nominating candidates to the programme,

Recalling

all the resolutions on the matter since the thirty-seventh session of

the General Assembly, in 1982, including resolution 50/71 A of 12 December 1995,
