In order to place non-proliferation firmly and securely within the contemporary regional security vernacular and to elevate it to actionable levels within CARICOM. member States, engagement on the matter cannot be piecemeal or sporadic. It requires sustained interaction with both policy and enforcement entities within the region and the provision of equally sustained material support going forward. CARICOM.”

Given the increasing competition for critically needed economic space and resources to effectively deal with such challenges within the security realm, it is fundamental that initiatives aimed at preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, reducing trade in strategic goods and related technology and promoting the adoption of important correlated security measures, such as the implementation of effective export controls, receive greater levels of support from the international community.

Indeed, we have borne witness to the impact of poverty, privatization and marginalization and its influence on promoting radicalization, both within the region and around the world. Fighting terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction can be successfully waged only by fully appreciating the intersection between such corollary realities. Those realities are not absent from the Caribbean, as has been exemplified by the involvement of Caribbean nationals as foreign terrorist fighters in the conflicts in Iraq and Syria, and on the side of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.”

As for the leadership of the Caribbean Community and for entities within the region that focus on the prevention of trade in and use of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons and related materials, I can say with certainty that ongoing cooperation with the 1540 Committee remains a cornerstone of our continuing regional effort to combat proliferation, both within the Caribbean and in the hemisphere at large.”
