Disarmament as Humanitarian Action

Disarmament as Humanitarian Action: Making Multilateral Negotiations Work (DHA) is a research project carried out at the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR). This project, launched in 2004, examines current difficulties for the international community in tackling disarmament and arms control challenges.

The DHA project’s research focuses on two major themes:

These themes are explored in three UNIDIR publications drawing from a range of contributors in civil society, diplomacy, and the policy and research fields:

An important emphasis of the DHA project’s work in 2007 is to communicate its research findings to multilateral practitioners. As one element of these efforts, the DHA project created the Disarmament Insight initiative with the Geneva Forum. This initiative is prompting constructive and creative engagement in the multilateral disarmament community through a range of activities including workshops and online resources building on the previous respective work of both DHA and the Geneva Forum.

The DHA project is supported by the Governments of Norway and the Netherlands.
