The Italian Delegation to the Conference on Disarmament (CD) has the official task of representing Italy in the multilateral context 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, our country has maintained a prominent role and a consistent commitment within this significant initiative.
Currently, the Italian Delegation is led by Ambassador Leonardo Bencini, a career diplomat, who took up the position of Permanent Representative of Italy to the Conference on Disarmament on 18 May 2022.
