1. “Those new forms of cooperation should not be an obstacle to international cooperation in the economic, trade, scientific and technical areas, conducted in accordance with the norms of international law. CSTO member States are principled and committed advocates of the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, their means of delivery and related materials. Countering new threats and challenges to national, regional and international security, including international terrorism, will continue to be a significant component of the work of the CSTO.”

2. “The principal areas of practical cooperation approved within the CSTO include the establishment of a mechanism for regular consultations, joint assessment of the degree of threat of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, assessing the vulnerability of sea, air and land shipments, and networking to ensure effective cooperation among the relevant agencies of CSTO member States. CSTO member States believe that new forms of cooperation to ensure the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction should complement and strengthen the methods of work already utilized by the international community within the framework of current non-proliferation regimes and international institutions.”

3. “The membership of States in various regional and international organizations is an important element promoting effective coordination and a results-oriented approach in their non- proliferation efforts. Economic integration unions play an important role in the harmonization of export control legislation. Six out of seven CSTO members are engaged in such efforts within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Community. Standardized export control lists have already been drawn up, and the process of making national legislation uniform is currently under way. The CSTO defines its role in the non- proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in the region taking into account the military and political nature of its activities.”

4. “The member States of CSTO cooperate on non- proliferation issues in various formats: bilaterally, within economic integration unions and with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and other entities. Four Central Asian CSTO member States are parties to the Treaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia. The Treaty is an important practical contribution to the strengthening of the nuclear non-proliferation regime. It also contributes to the implementation of the safeguards regime of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and to the control of nuclear materials.”

5. “Such cooperation could take place in the form of information exchange; consulting; the elaboration of general principles for non-proliferation policies; and joint practical actions, from the elaboration of legal norms to the monitoring of their implementation. A significant number of regional events, including those held in collaboration with the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), attests to States' interest in cooperation within regional organizations on non-proliferation issues. One such event, held recently in the CSTO area, was a regional workshop for the States of Central Asia and the Caucasus on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). It was held by the Monterey Institute of International Studies and the Government of Kazakhstan in Almaty in October 2006.”

6. “It is clear that much remains to be done to make these mechanisms clear and transparent for the international community as a whole. Better understanding of how and why certain goods get onto control lists could help some countries address their concerns about the discriminatory trade barriers allegedly created by these regimes. Regional organizations that operate on the basis of common interests, trust and cooperation can play a positive role in eliminating concerns about the allegedly discriminatory nature of measures used by the international regimes. Regional organizations can offer practical assistance to States in elaborating effective national non-proliferation policies, including with regard to the implementation of Security Council resolutions.”

7. “The Council's openness and responsiveness to the opinions of Member States and international organizations will help to make the implementation of Council measures related to the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction more effective and results-oriented. The success of collective efforts is directly linked to the effectiveness of action taken at the national level. Non-proliferation measures, such as those aimed at the physical protection of sensitive materials and at border controls, are regarded by States as important means to ensure their own security. We consider international export control regimes to be useful. The strategy of further improving national export control systems is elaborated within the framework of such regimes.”

8. “Mr. Dapkiunas (Belarus) (spoke in Russian): I have the honour to speak on behalf of the member States of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), namely, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the Russian Federation, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. We thank the Slovak presidency for holding an open meeting of the Security Council on the implementation of resolutions 1540 (2004) and 1673 (2006). We are confident that this debate will help to improve the exchange of information among countries and international organizations and give a new impetus to cooperation aimed at facilitating the implementation of the Council's resolutions.”
