The Permanent Mission of Italy to the Conference on Disarmament (CD) is tasked with representing Italy in the multilateral framework of the CD. Since 1962, Italy has actively participated in all multilateral bodies dedicated to disarmament that preceded the establishment of the CD in 1979. Since then, Italy has maintained a prominent role and a consistent commitment within this important forum.
Currently, the Italian Delegation is headed by Ambassador Leonardo Bencini, a career diplomat, who assumed the position of Permanent Representative of Italy to the Conference on Disarmament on 18 May 2022.
