India and Israel opposed a UN resolution on conventional arms control at regional and subregional levels, proposed by Pakistan and Belarus. The resolution, titled 'General and complete disarmament: Conventional arms control at the regional and subregional levels', was approved by the UN General Assembly's First Committee with 180 votes in favour, two against, and no abstentions. Explaining India's position, Anmol Sher Bedi, First Secretary at India's Permanent Mission to the UN, stated that conventional arms control is a global issue and should not be pursued primarily through regional and subregional frameworks. India also questioned the resolution's request for the UN Disarmament Commission to develop principles for regional agreements on conventional arms control, noting that the commission had already reached consensus on related issues in 1993, 1999, and 2017.
