Disarmament and International Security Committee
When the United Nations' charter was ratified in 1945, the Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) was established as the first of the General Assembly's Main Committees. Thus, DISEC is often referred to as the First Committee.

Addressing the Risks and Opportunities of Biological and Chemical Weapons, and Armed Drones
Committee Topics
The proliferation of biological and chemical weapons, along with the increasing use of armed drones in warfare, presents significant challenges to global security and international law. These technologies, while offering strategic advantages, also pose severe risks, particularly in the hands of non-state actors or rogue regimes. The international community must balance the opportunities for legitimate defense and security with the need to prevent misuse, ensure compliance with disarmament agreements, and address humanitarian concerns. Effective regulation, accountability, and multilateral cooperation are essential to mitigate the dangers posed by these technologies while ensuring they are used responsibly in line with international norms.
