Abstract

In this essay, the author presents the background and historic course of the Conference on Disarmament (CD) and examines the outstanding aspects of the role Mexico has played in it. It also describes CD functions and structure, its problems and achievements. Marín recalls central characters of Mexican diplomacy who have been responsible for the significant work the country has carried out in this field. The author reviews the efforts deployed by the UN to ban and reduce arms, and mentions the treaties originating in the CD.
