EN: Combating non-state actors' access to weapons is a crucial concern in the fields of diplomacy and international security. When they obtain and use weapons, non-state actors such as terrorist organizations, rebel groups, criminal networks, and militias pose a serious threat to world peace and stability. Wide-ranging effects of non-state actors having access to weapons include terrorism, insurgency, violations of human rights, and regional instability. The unchecked transfer of weapons to these groups directly jeopardizes global peace and security. The discussions and actions of the DISEC committee are essential for minimizing the influence of non-state actors on world stability and making sure that weapons do not end up in the wrong hands. The international community can cooperate to prevent conflict, protect vulnerable populations, and advance a safer world for all if this issue is addressed in its entirety.
