  1. “I wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than four minutes in order to enable the Council to carry out its work expeditiously. I take this opportunity to remind speakers that the presidency will use the flashing lights on the collars of the microphones to prompt speakers to bring their remarks to a close. Delegations with lengthy statements are kindly requested to circulate the texts in writing and to deliver a condensed version when speaking in the Chamber. I wish to inform all concerned that we will be carrying on this open debate right through the lunch hour, as we have a large number of speakers. I now give the floor to Mr. Uziimcii.”

  3. “It also urges the relevant committees ofthe Council to reinforce their cooperation in order to face the threat of terrorism, and to report in that regard. Experience has taught us that it is not enough to simply adopt good texts, which today's resolution undoubtedly is. As political agreement is important, so is compliance with what has been agreed upon. This resolution will remain a dead letter without firm and active commitment from all of us. We cannot allow inaction. We owe it to our citizens and to the coming generations, which cannot be exposed to the plans of organizations that seek only destruction. It is essential that we maximize our vigilance so that we do not have to relive the indescribable horrors that are caused by the use of weapons of mass destruction. Spain will spare no effort.”

  4. “It seeks to avoid duplication and facilitates the channelling of offers of, and requests for, assistance 4 for example, through regional conferences. It strengthens the capacity of the 1540 Committee to provide direct assistance. Furthermore, the resolution calls for voluntary contributions, as without adequate funding many of the new measures would not be viable. With regard to coordination, the resolution requests the 1540 Committee to report annually to the Council on its work and to evaluate how the effectiveness of the special political mission that supports the Committee can be improved. That evaluation will allow the United Nations to acquire a number of tools that are more in line with current challenges.”

  5. “It calls upon States and the Committee to focus their efforts on the sectors that require the most attention and to bear in mind new proliferation risks. It highlights the value of national plans and the visits of the Committee. It also addresses the need to bear in mind the particular circumstances of States in implementing measures against proliferation. Other innovative aspects of the resolution include a firm commitment to transparency in the work of the 1540 Committee through meetings open to all Member States and the use of the communications media. It highlights the recognition of the role of parliamentarians and civil society in fighting proliferation. The resolution will leave a significant legacy with regard to support.”

  6. “Spain promoted the comprehensive review of resolution 1540 (2004) in order to bolster the effectiveness of the prevention of proliferation by non-State actors. The report presented by the Committee puts forward a series of recommendations to strengthen the 1540 system and lays the foundations for a comprehensive agenda to achieve the effective and full implementation of the objectives set out in 2004. Resolution 2325 (2016) is the culmination of that work. It substantially improves the effectiveness of resolution 1540 (2004) without modifying its preventive and cooperative approach. The resolution compels us to better coordinate and strengthen the tools to deal with the threat we are considering.”

  7. “That certain risk led to the adoption of resolution 1540 (2004), 12 years ago, which was a great service provided by the Security Council to the whole of the international community. The two threats addressed in resolution 1540 (2004) are continually evolving and on the rise. Terrorist groups adapt their procedures in order to acquire technology and sensitive materials. Traffickers develop new techniques to avoid national and international inspections, thereby exacerbating the risk of proliferation. We could not remain impassive. The resolution that we have just adopted is a substantive and timely reaction. We are taking a great step towards establishing a comprehensive agenda that can help to prevent a catastrophe of global proportions.”

  8. “Their briefings show the irreplacable role that businesses and the academic world play in fighting proliferation. The United Nations was born with the purpose of banishing the suffering caused by the scourge of war. Unfortunately, we are still far from achieving that goal. The Organization cannot relent in that endeavour. We must prevent conflict and, failing that, ensure compliance with international humanitarian law. We are alarmed by the proved use of weapons of mass destruction in the twenty-first century. We are disturbed that non-State actors and terrorist organizations are able to access those types of weapons. If they have those weapons, they will use them - as we have witnessed in Syria and Iraq. Their barbarism knows no bounds.”

  9. “With the adoption of resolution 2325 (2016), Spain has concluded the work entrusted to it by the Security Council as Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) during 2015 and 2016. We undertook the task with a sense of responsibility and transparency, in the context of the comprehensive review of resolution 1540 (2004). The work was intensive. We consulted with Member States, international organizations and civil society. We had the support of members of the Committee, the Group of Experts and the Secretariat. The broad support for the resolution, for which I thank all of its sponsors, is the result of that collective work. I extend my gratitude to the briefers at this meeting: the Vice-President of DHL and the President of the Stimson Center.”

I shall now make a statement in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation of Spain. It is an honour for me to preside over this high-level open debate on halting the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to non-State actors. Furthermore, this topic holds particular value for me because reminds me of my time as Permanent Representative of Spain to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and Chairman of the Executive Council and the Conference of the States Parties.”

A lot has been said about Jan Eliasson, all positive. It has been recalled that he always carries a copy of the Charter of the United Nations, that Chapter VI is his favourite, that he is undoubtedly a citizen of the world and that he knows the field work and the Headquarters of the Organization like few others. The Council has benefited from his extensive experience and has enjoyed his support, vision and commitment over the past four years.”
