That the Parliament notes the global launch of the Parliamentary handbook on disarmament and sustainable development, which focuses on parliamentary action to implement the disarmament agenda put forward by UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres in 2018; is aware that the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, Parliamentarians for Global Action, Parliamentarians for Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament, the Parliamentary Forum on Small Arms and Light Weapons and the World Future Council joined together and were supported by the UN Office for Disarmament Affairs on the international launch of a parliamentary handbook, Assuring our Common Future, and believes that the handbook provides a background to and examples of effective policies and parliamentary actions on a wide range of disarmament issues, including weapons of mass destruction, conventional weapons, small arms and light weapons, future technologies and disarmament in outer space and cyberspace.
