Description

IPB was born even before the UN´s predecessor, the League of Nations. As an organisation we have consistently argued that the international community needs a strong United Nations in order to tackle the many international problems facing it. At the same time we have always been critical of the way in which both the League and the UN have been manipulated by big states and powerful interests.

IPB plays a central role in the Geneva-based Special NGO Committee for Disarmament, which is a sub-committee of CONGO, the Conference of NGO in Consultative Status with ECOSOC. We are in close touch with our sister group in New York, the NGO Committee for Disarmament, Inc. and monitor closely the work of the UN´s Geneva based Conference on Disarmament, the sole multilateral forum for disarmament negotiations.
