OutlineOutline

BackgroundBackgroundThe Security Council:• Urges IROs to inform the

1540 Committee as appropriate of areas in which they are able to provide assistance and to provide the 1540 Committee with a point of contact for assistance

• Calls upon IROs to designate and provide the 1540 Committee with a point of contact or coordinator for the implementation of resolution 1540

• Adoption of Res. 1977 (credit photo UN Devra Berkowitz)

BackgroundBackgroundThe Security Council:• Encourages IROs to enhance

cooperation and information sharing with the 1540 Committee on technical assistance and all other issues of relevance for the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004)

• Requests the 1540 Committee to continue to organize and participate in outreach events on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) at the international, regional and subregional levels and promote the refinement of these outreach efforts to focus on specific and thematic issues

BackgroundBackground

“The contribution and cooperation of IROs is key. By putting the specialized expertise of international organizations into a regional context, real benefits for Member States can be achieved. Hence maximizing the complementarities between the specialized expertise of some international organizations and the mandates of other regional organizations seems to be important”

The 6-8 June 2011 Arab Regional Workshop on "Monitoring and Securing Movement of Goods and Individuals from Terrorist Threats" held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was organized by the League of Arab States with Naif Arab University.

Options were discussed on additional efforts by the League of Arab States to prevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction, including in the context of resolution 1540 (2004).

Approval by the Council of Arab Ministries of Justice and Interior would be needed to start a program operationalize those options.


The Gulf Cooperation Council and the League of Arab States have been involved in important 1540-related activities over the past years, opening the perspective of further engagement.

The following tables compile implementation data extracted from the 1540 Committee Matrices prepared for each of the 6 GCC UN Member States. How to read them?

There are 3 tables, each of them covering one of the following topics:Operative paragraph 2 (prohibitions)Operative paragraph 3 (a) and (b) (physical protection / accounting / securing measures)Operative paragraph 3 (c) and (d) (border / export controls)

Each table lets appear implementation data for each of the main provisions stemming from resolution 1540 , domain by domain (nuclear / chemical / biological)

Following the structure of the 1540 Committee Matrices, the data in the table cover national framework data and enforcement data



Example:

In this example, 3 States have national framework measures in place to prohibit (in accordance with operative paragraph 2) non-State actors to manufacture/produce nuclear weapons. One State has measures to enforce the prohibition to manufacture nuclear weapons.

Comment: The highest possible figure is the number of UN Member States concerned (6 in the case of the Gulf Cooperation Council)

The tables depend on the data compiled in the 1540 Committee Matrices
