Pakistan obstructed the '2024 Program of Work' proposed by India at the Conference of Disarmament in Geneva. Despite India's attempt to ensure consensus during its presidency, Pakistan's refusal, linked to its opposition to signing the Fissile-Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT) due to perceived impacts on its military stance with India, thwarted the program. The move drew criticism from major nations, including the US, France, Russia, UK, and China. The stalemate reflects Pakistan's longstanding resistance to disarmament discussions, leaving the CD Geneva in deadlock since 2009.
