UNODA Occasional Papers No.22: Options for the Further Strengthening of the NPT's Review Process by 2015
Parties participating in the 2010 Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) decided to defer its consideration of further strengthening of the review process of the Treaty to the next review cycle. Consequently this issue was addressed at the first session of the Preparatory Committee for the 2015 Review Conference held in Vienna from 30 April to 11 May 2012. This paper examines the various proposals that have been put forward thus far and that could incrementally improve accountability and efficiency as well as provide greater continuity and substantial savings. This includes smarter use of the time for substantive consideration on the general debate and early establishment of subsidiary bodies on moving to digitized records on the establishment of an NPT Secretariat and the enhancement of participation by non-governmental organizations
UNODA Occasional Papers No.23: The Impact of Poorly Regulated Arms Transfers on the Work of the United Nations
This paper aims to develop a coherent United Nations approach to support the international community’s efforts to improve the regulation of international transfers of conventional arms. It records the United Nations Organization’s advocacy over the past years of a robust and comprehensive Arms Trade Treaty that covers the full array of conventional weapons as well as ammunition and that includes provisions that arms not be transferred where there is a clear risk that they will be used to commit violations of international humanitarian law and human rights law or seriously undermine development.

The speeches she delivered at a range of venues provide a comprehensive stocktake of the prospects and challenges currently confronting disarmament and arms control efforts.
