On behalf of the Security Council, I would like to thank all participants in today's open debate for their input, which will be very important for continuing the work, not only of the Council but also of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), on the topic that has brought us together for today's debate. The meeting rose at 5.10pm.”

“It is our earnest hope that the Council, just as it is rightly seized by the WMD proliferation concern, will display the same vigour with regard to nuclear disarmament from which the legitimacy for non-proliferation is born. The President (spoke in Spanish): I now give the floor to the representative of Paraguay.”

“However, with the ongoing multilateral endeavour in the United Nations conference to negotiate a legally binding instrument to prohibit nuclear weapons, leading towards their total elimination, the recent meetings of the Open-ended Working Group for the Fourth Special Session of the General Assembly Devoted to Disarmament, and the disarmament activism by global civil society, Indonesia sees some signs of hope. We therefore have joined the overwhelmingly large number of countries in urging reluctant States to heed the calls for banning nuclear weapons and achieving their total elimination. Let us be on the right side of history when it comes to the survival of humankind from the menacing threat of nuclear explosions, either by design or accident.”

“The international community can be proud of having adopted legally binding instruments and banned biological and chemical weapons through its clear moral imperative and dedicated multilateral efforts. Yet, confronted with the horrors that Hiroshima and Nagasaki endured and the abundant research confirming the absolute destruction that nuclear weapons, by design or accident, can wreak, it is deeply disturbing that some States have hindered the same approach on nuclear weapons, as is also mandated by article VI ofthe Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.”

“My delegation also stresses that the issue ofWMD acquisition by non-State groups should be considered by all United Nations States Members in an inclusive manner, and our actions should flow from multilaterally negotiated instruments. As the Security Council tackles threats to global peace, it must be principled and clear. The risk that non-State actors might acquire nuclear and other WMDs is only one among a list of serious global security problems. A key challenge that remains is the insistence by some States to possess nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. There is no such thing as right and moral hands for holding such wrong and immoral weapons. Furthermore, my delegation remains concerned about the fact that the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty has yet to enter into force.”

“It also goes without saying that the presence of peace and stability will foster increased focus by conflict-affected countries on thwarting any WMD activity by non-State actors in their countries and regions, thereby not only making the success of the sustaining peace agenda even more imperative, but also that of the deeply interconnected 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Thirteen out of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals have direct relevance to nuclear science and technology, and it is crucial that the discourse on WMD proliferation by non-State actors does not impinge on the inalienable right of States to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.”

“Indonesia underlines the 1540 Committee's role in facilitating matchmaking and extending extra support, in particular to those countries that lack capacities in furnishing technical-assistance proposals. There needs to be a proper response to the decrease in the number of requests for assistance submitted to the 1540 Committee during the five-year period ending in 2016 as compared to the five-year period ending in 2011. Greater support from the Committee and its Group of Experts, including close cooperation with national 1540 points of contact, along with adequate support from other relevant parts of the United Nations system and the international community, will be extremely important.”

“It is therefore encouraging that the latest five-year comprehensive report (see S/2016/1038) by the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), presented last December observed that most States had undertaken enhanced measures on the prohibition of non-State-actor activities relating to nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and their means of delivery. It also acknowledged greater reporting by States. While the report also pointed out gaps, it rightly noted that the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) is a long-term task that requires continuous efforts at national, regional and international levels with intensified support. International cooperation and assistance are critical when it comes to resolution 1540 (2004), especially when taking into account countries' varied economic and industrial abilities.”

“Suffice it to say, we have instituted comprehensive measures to counter the development, acquisition, manufacture, possession, transportation, transfer or use of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and their delivery systems. Regionally, too, Indonesia participates actively in the various Association of Southeast Asian Nations forums on export controls and non-proliferation. All States must fulfil their responsibilities to ensure that the WMD threat from non-State actors is dealt with effectively.”

“As a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Biological Weapons Convention and the South-East Asia nuclear-weapon-free zone, and having ratified the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material and the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism, Indonesia welcomes today's focus on the threat of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) to non-State actors. Although Indonesia fully supports resolutions 1540 (2004) and 2325 (2016), I will not list all the steps that my country has taken to safeguard against the WMD proliferation threat.”

The Council very much appreciates the participation of those representatives as key partners in our joint endeavours. In the interests of time, I have highlighted just a few points of importance for our debate. However, not everything has to do with the obligations of States. I therefore look forward with interest to hearing more information from all participants in this meeting. I now resume my functions as President of the Council.

“With regard to resolution 2325 (2016), which is an important prt of implementing resolution 1540 (2004), I would like to draw attention to paragraph 12 of resolution 2325 (2016). It calls for the full implementation of the obligations under resolution 1540 (2004) as a result of the 1540 Committee's 2016 comprehensive review of the implementation of the resolution. The paragraph also clearly notes the need for more attention on enforcement measures; measures relating to chemical, biological and nuclear weapons; measures on the financing of proliferation; measures on accounting for and securing related materials; and national export and trans-shipment controls. It will be interesting to hear how Member States are approaching those aspects of the resolution.”

“In the 13 years since the adoption ofresolution 1540 (2004), the developments I referred to have had a major impact on how cross-border movements and trade are conducted. While those are positive developments that bring about humanitarian and economic benefits, they also present challenges to the effective implementation of the obligations set out in resolution 1540 (2004). Keeping those and other developments under review in relation to preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to non-State actors requires constant vigilance and effective international collaboration. I will be very interested in the experiences and views of Member States in that regard.”

“The Security Council has called upon States "to take note in its work, where relevant, of the continually evolving nature of the risks of proliferation, including the use by non-State actors of rapid advances in science, technology and international commerce for proliferation purposes, in the context of the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) (resolution 2325 (2016), para. 8). The Council has also called on the 1540 Committee "to take into account developments on the evolving nature of risk of proliferation and rapid advances in science and technology in their implementation of resolution 1540 (2004)" (ibid., para. 7). The Council thereby impressed upon States that they have the ultimate responsibility for those obligations in implementing resolution 1540 (2004).”

“As stated in the concept note for this meeting, resolution 1540 (2004) is a platform for cooperation to prevent non-State actors from gaining access to weapons of mass destruction. Without cooperation it would be impossible to address the issue at a global level. It would also be counterproductive to undermine the cooperative spirit that is already evident in the way the resolution is being implemented by moving in the direction of a strict mechanism for Member States.”

“Those seven prohibitions must also cover anyone acting as an accomplice to assist in any way, including by financing such activities. Similarly, domestic controls are needed on related materials, including measures in the areas of accounting, security, physical protection, border and law enforcement, and export controls. Substantial efforts have already been made by many States to promote the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). In that regard, while the responsibility for implementation lies with individual States, such efforts can benefit from collaboration, whether bilaterally or collectively, on a regional basis. That is key to successful implementation.”

“I should stress that the resolution is unique in that regard, as it is the only legally binding instrument dealing with the proliferation of all three types of weapons of mass destruction. In the nearly 13 years since its adoption, resolution 1540 (2004) has become one of the key components of the international regime to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery. Participants are aware that the range of legislation and enforcement provisions required is broad. However, as a background to this debate, allow me to recall that the resolution includes prohibitions on non-State actors from developing, acquiring, manufacturing, possessing, transporting, transferring or using weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery.”

“I thank Mr. Ballard for his briefing. I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). As Chair of the 1540 Committee, I am grateful for the opportunity to lead this open debate on the global effort to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to non-State actors. All States have a responsibility to effectively implement resolution 1540 (2004), which was adopted unanimously on 28 April 2004. The resolution should be at the heart of our discussion today. As all members are aware, the main purpose of the resolution is to prevent nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, along with their delivery systems and related materials for their development and manufacture, from falling into the hands of non-State actors, including terrorists.”

“We once again call on the Sudan People's Liberation Army and Sudan People's Liberation Army in Opposition to agree to the ceasefire, which would decrease tensions and constructively pave the way towards dialogue. The consequences of those confrontations have corresponded to the increase in the humanitarian needs ofthe millions of South Sudanese people who had to flee their homes. Since 2013, 3.8 million South Sudanese have had to leave their homes. As the Secretary- General's report indicates, since the beginning of this year alone, Uganda has hosted approximately 247,500 South Sudanese refugees. Those statistics are alarming, and we require the commitment of all parties to ensure that humanitarian aid arrives unhindered and ensure the safety of humanitarian workers.”
