  1. “Finally, the Council and the Committee will only benefit by broadening the composition of the Panel, particularly with members from developing countries. The Secretariat must consult all Council members prior to the commencement of the appointment, or reappointment, ofexperts. The principle oftransparency in recruiting must also be fully complied with.”

  2. “As other Council members have continued to point out, the work of the Panel of Experts and its activities should conform strictly to its mandate. Its reports, analyses and recommendations must be based on objectivity and impartiality and backed by solid evidence. Their findings and reports will carry the weight they deserve when they enjoy consensus within the Panel. At the same time, the 1737 Committee should also adhere to high standards of neutrality and professionalism. Security Council sanctions should not be pursued as an end in themselves. Neither should sanctions negatively impact legitimate trade activity. The Council needs to support a negotiated solution to the unresolved issues. We once again urge the Council and the 1737 Committee to re-evaluate the objectives and strategy as set out in the relevant resolutions.”

  3. “We hope that the new Government of Iran and the five permanent members of the Security Council plus Germany (P5+1) can resume their diplomatic engagement as early as possible to find ways of resolving outstanding issues. Demonstrations of political will and flexibility by all concerned will be required, as well as mutual confidence-building measures. A negotiated solution can and should be facilitated by striking a balance between sanctions and negotiations. Iran, as a party to the NPT and the IAEA, is entitled to certain rights that should be respected, in line with the provisions of those instruments. At the same time, Iran should fulfil its legal obligations under those instruments. We urge Iran to stay engaged with the IAEA and extend its full cooperation to it, with a View to addressing the remaining issues.”

  4. “We congratulate you, Sir, on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for this month and wish you success in your endeavours. We also thank you for presenting the 90-day report of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1737 (2006). We take note of the recent report (GOV/2013/40) of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the implementation in Iran of the safeguards agreement under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The resolution of the Iranian nuclear issue is both possible and necessary. Such a solution must also be anchored in dialogue and negotiations. We welcome the recent positive overtures and statements.”

  5. “The treaty should also create appropriate executive and administrative bodies to promote adherence and facilitate international assistance and cooperation - along the lines, for example, of the national authorities that are required to be established under the Chemical Weapons Convention and which are assisted in their work by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency also has a similar facilitation role under its various conventions and programmes. Finally, the treaty should also establish the mechanisms necessary to ensure equitable implementation, monitoring and compliance with its provisions.”

  6. “The time has now come to revive the multilateral disarmament machinery, so that future challenges in the area of non-proliferation can be addressed in open, transparent and inclusive processes. In that context, we believe that the General Assembly should begin early discussions to authorize the convening of an international diplomatic conference, or request the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva to negotiate an international treaty to address the issue of the acquisition of WMD by non-State actors or terrorists. Such a treaty could be based on the provisions of resolutions 1540 (2004) and 1673 (2006). It should achieve what resolution 1540 (2004) did not, that is, provide clear definitions of non- State actors, means of delivery, related materials, and so on. That would facilitate the adoption of national legislation.”

  7. “Discrimination and double standards are the enemy of collective purpose and action. When resolution 1540 (2004) was adopted, Pakistan, then a member of the Council, joined the consensus because we concurred that there was a gap in the international rules relating to the acquisition and illicit transfer of WMD by non-State actors. We also agreed that the matter was important and urgent enough to be addressed in an exceptional manner by the Security Council. Now that the Council has addressed the urgent dimension of the danger, it is necessary to revert to the normal avenues for the creation of international rules and norms, that is, through the process of international treaty-making.”

  8. “The level of implementation of national measures by Member States, the gaps between assurances and supply of assistance, and the lack of capacity on the part of Member States as well as of the 1540 Committee, should lead to a critical assessment of the competence and capability of the Council to promote the non-proliferation agenda. Member States may also have to evaluate the outcome of the "encouragement" provided by resolution 1540 (2004) in the past three years to fully implement the disarmament treaties and agreements. In the context of the Council's growing interest in preventing WMD proliferation, it is important to reconcile and balance the lack of implementation of disarmament obligations by certain Council members with their zeal in promoting non-proliferation.”

  9. “The existing arrangements, and their selective application, remain contrary to the spirit of resolution 1540 (2004). We wish to take this opportunity to say a few words on the working methods of the 1540 Committee, especially with regard to the hiring of its experts. The manner in which the contracts of some experts have been handled reinforces the widely held perception outside the Council that the whole process of marshalling the resolution, its implementation, the composition of the Committee, its experts and staff is being led by the developed countries, to the exclusion of a large number of countries from the developing world. We hope that the Council and the Committee will seek to ensure an adequate and equitable representation of experts from the developing countries in a transparent manner.”

  10. “Resolution 1540 (2004) rightly affirmed that prevention of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) should not hamper international cooperation in materials, equipment and technology for peaceful purposes, while the goal of peaceful utilization should not be used as a cover for proliferation. The growing global demand for nuclear power generation underlines the need for equitable and non-discriminatory steps by supplier States to strike a balance between proliferation concerns and facilitation of the legitimate trade in equipment, materials and technology for the increased generation of nuclear energy. One of the ways in which such a balance could be achieved would be to commence negotiations for truly multilateral arrangements for governing the trade in dual-use and sensitive items and technology.”

  11. “The concept paper provides general information on the challenges faced in implementing the resolutions. The reasons for non- reporting by a number of States need to be examined in a cooperative and constructive manner. It is clear that many States lack the necessary expertise and resources related to the implementation of resolutions 1540 (2004) and 1673 (2006). There are also vast differences in the economic, industrial, legal and financial profiles of Member States. More importantly, there is a general perception that there is a wide gap between the promises made and the provision of the assistance required, especially by developing States. An additional problem is reporting fatigue, including for those States which have filed implementation reports.”

  12. “In any case, these international organizations predate resolution 1540 (2004) and would have continued their important work regardless of the resolution. Some Council members, surely the permanent members, may recall that concerns were raised in December 2004 over the capacity of the 1540 Committee, in the context of its expertise, manpower and resources, to promote implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). Almost three years after the adoption of that resolution, it is clear that the 1540 Committee has done whatever it can within its capacity constraints. The concept paper presented by Slovakia in connection with this debate notes that 135 Member States have submitted their first national implementation reports and that 85 have provided additional information. Pakistan has provided two reports to the 1540 Committee.”

  13. “Both resolution 1540 (2004) and resolution 1673 (2006) provide for coordination and cooperation with international organizations so as to advance the objectives of resolution 1540 (2004). At the same time, resolution 1540 (2004) also affirms that none of the obligations contained therein shall be interpreted so as to alter the responsibilities of the IAEA or the OPCW. We fully acknowledge the important work being done by international organizations such as the IAEA and the OPCW in building the capacity of the States members of those organizations in many areas. It is important that, in associating these organizations with the work of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), their own functions and responsibilities be fully preserved.”

  14. “I have the honour to present Pakistan's statement to the Council on behalf of Ambassador Munir Akram, who sends his regrets, as he is delayed as a result of heavy traffic. Mr. President, we thank you for having convened this timely debate. We welcome the decision to hold an open debate in the Council. It is a rare privilege for non-members of the Council to be able to discuss the importance and relevance of resolutions 1540 (2004) and 1673 (2006) in this Chamber. We thank the Director General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) for his comprehensive statement, and express our appreciation also for the statements made by the representatives of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the World Customs Organization.”
