 "La Conférence du désarmement pourrait à nouveau refuser à la Palestine le statut d’observateur"

In June last year, the States of the CD met in Montreux to find solutions to get out of this institutional impasse. Yesterday at the Palais des Nations, they presented proposals for reform. Despite these efforts, an expert is categorical: "2024 risks being a lost year"
The Indian Ambassador and current President of CD Anupam Ray, who presides over the Conference in Geneva, said that there was a genuine will to move forward. The optimism expressed by the diplomat has only limited grounding in reality as this institution created in 1978 has been in a stalemate since 1996 when it negotiated its last instrument, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Yesterday, before the 65 Member States of CD, Ray was more blunt: "We are confronted today with a fragile situation of peace and we have more than ever within this Conference a responsibility to return to our vocation, which is to forge compromises, negotiate and reach agreements."
