ONN Senior Analyst Jaewoo Shin spoke at United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) panel “After the Summit of the Future: New Momentum for Arms Control & Disarmament?” organised in partnership with the Diplomatic Academy of Vienna and the Austrian Research Association as part of the Office’s recurring Vienna Conversation Series. The ''Pact For The Future'' is a key step towards global action on disarmament and arms control, and the energetic intergenerational dialogue highlighted how disarmament affects us all.
Initially proposed by UN Secretary-General António Guterres in his 2021 Our Common Agenda report, the Summit of the Future was convened on 22 and 23 September 2024, bringing together world leaders to forge a common path towards a strengthened global architecture and a more peaceful and prosperous world. At the Summit, States adopted a “Pact for the Future”, including a Global Digital Compact and Declaration on Future Generations, outlining a wide set of commitments to reinvigorate multilateralism and identify solutions to pressing challenges – current and future – facing the international community.
