United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs
The United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) supports multilateral efforts aimed at achieving the ultimate goal of general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control. It also provides objective, impartial and up-to-date information on multilateral disarmament issues and activities, including through its Treaties Database, Documents Library, and the Disarmament Resolutions and Decisions Database.
International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification
The International Partnership for Nuclear Disarmament Verification (IPNDV) is an ongoing initiative that includes more than 25 countries with and without nuclear weapons. Together, the Partners are working to identify and develop practical solutions to the technical and procedural challenges associated with effectively verifying nuclear disarmament.
Verification Research, Training and Information Centre
VERTIC supports the development, implementation and verification of international agreements and related regional and national initiatives though research and analysis on verification regimes and implementation in a series of openly available publications. Its GSTE-NDV hub and regional hubs on NDV provide valuable information and support research, education, and long-term capacity building for NDV.
Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI)
Information on treaties, organizations, and regimes relating to disarmament, arms control, and nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, updated regularly. This material was prepared for the NTI site by the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies. As of 6 April 2026, it is no longer being updated.
AMC Data Uppsala (Alva Myrdal Centre for Nuclear Disarmament)
A comprehensive overview of 80+ arms-control agreements across all weapons-categories from 1921 to 2017. Explore agreement parties, obligations, mechanisms of control, and agreement associations through the AMC agreement data sets, data visualisers and encyclopedia.
UK-NI
The UK-Norway Initiative (UKNI) is a first-of-its-type collaboration between a NWS and a NNWS which supports the aims of Article VI by investigating the technical and procedural challenges of verifying possible future nuclear disarmament and arms control agreements. Beginning in 2007 and still operating to this day, the UKNI has successfully demonstrated how states can cooperate in this important and politically-sensitive area.
QUAD
The Quad is a unique multilateral nuclear disarmament verification partnership bringing together two non-nuclear weapon states (NNWS) – Norway and Sweden – and two nuclear-weapon states (NWS) – the United Kingdom and the United States. Building on the examples of the UK-Norway Initiative (UKNI) and previous UK-US arms control exercises, these four countries have a close collaboration on multilateral nuclear disarmament verification.
The collaboration spans from the technical level to the policy making level and explores methods and means to help solve verification and monitoring challenges related to nuclear disarmament.
EXPAND
The Expert Panel on Nuclear Disarmament Verification (EXPAND) is a non-governmental panel tasked with elaborating on the technological bases and relevant mechanisms of nuclear disarmament verification (NDV). Its goal is to complement ongoing processes within the United Nations (UN) framework, particularly the work of a future Group of Scientific and Technological Experts (GSTE), which is expected to begin its mandate in 2027 following the recent UN General Assembly resolution.
VeSPoTec
VeSPoTec is a research network that includes institutes from RWTH Aachen University, Forschungszentrum Jülich, the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) and the University of Duisburg-Essen. Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR, formerly BMBF), it brings together scientists from the natural and social sciences to make a contribution to peace and conflict research. Associated partners include the University of Vienna and the Vienna Center for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation (VCDNP). The research focus is on verification.
