  1. “The Argentine delegation would also like to say that the call for the complete elimination of chemical weapons is a key element of its position on non-proliferation and disarmament. In that context, Argentina firmly reiterates its absolute condemnation ofthe use of chemical weapons and the use of chemicals as weapons by any actor and under any circumstance.”

  2. “Argentina is convinced that, beyond the protection of materials that we can guarantee at the national level, we must work constructively to foster dialogue between nuclear- and non-nuclear-weapon countries, with the understanding that the only guarantee that such weapons or related materials will not be acquired by non-State actors would be their total elimination. Lastly, Argentina reiterates its call for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and calls upon the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to abandon its nuclear military programmes in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner, in accordance with the resolutions of the Security Council. Those programmes represent a threat to international peace and security.”

  3. “Argentina considers it essential to ensure that dual-use chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials are properly protected, and out of the hands of those who would not hesitate to use them to terrorize others and sow panic and destruction. It is illusory to believe that we live in security while there are such materials lacking the proper protection, and without the implementation of international regulations at the global level. In particular, for Argentina, the Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material has been in force for more than a year. Last April in Buenos Aires, together with the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the National Institute of Industrial Technology, we organized the second Regional Course on Chemical Safety and Security Management in Laboratories.”

  4. “Member States should redouble efforts to strengthen and update our national export control systems, which we believe should be based on four fundamental pillars: a transparent and standardized national licensing system; effective compliance with current legislation applicable to export controls, including brokering and trans-shipment aspects; increased corporate awareness of the importance of such systems for industrial development and for the security of international trade; and close regional cooperation. With regard to regional cooperation, I wish to emphasize that Argentina provides assistance under resolution 1540 (2004) and has developed training activities on identifying sensitive items at subregional and regional levels, as well as through South-South cooperation with African countries.”

  5. “In that context, on 26 October 2004, the Republic of Argentina submitted its first national report, together with successive updates, thereby demonstrating its unwavering commitment to the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and becoming an active member of the five non-proliferation regimes, as well as the Proliferation Security Initiative.”

  6. “For Argentina, by its scope and nature, resolution 1540 (2004) represents the clearest response by the United Nations to the problem of weapons of mass destruction and their access by non-State actors. Since its adoption, 13 years ago, Argentina has addressed the resolution by striving to preserve the balance between its traditional commitment to non-proliferation and a reaffirmation of the sovereign right to the peaceful use and development of advanced technologies such as nuclear, chemical, biological, pharmaceutical and nanotechnology. Both principles are enshrined in the text of resolution 1540 (2004) as well as in resolution 2325 (2016), co-sponsored by our country and adopted only six months ago.”

  7. “Likewise, we welcome the adoption of the declaration of the States members of the Agency for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean (OPANAL) on the fiftieth anniversary of the conclusion of the Treaty for the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons in Latin America and the Caribbean. There are many highly distressing cases in which international terrorism has shown ample proof of its destructive capacity. The use of weapons of mass destruction by non-State actors in recent years has ceased to be an abstract or theoretical problem and has served to highlight the need for Member States to redouble their efforts to prevent terrorist groups from gaining access to weapons of mass destruction, their related materials and means of delivery.”

  8. “Ms. Mac Loughlin (Argentina) (spoke in Spanish): Allow me to congratulate you, Sir, for having proposed this open debate on a particularly topical subject, namely, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. My delegation associates itself with the statement made by the representative of Spain on behalf of the Group of Friends of resolution 1540 (2004). I would like to say how pleased we are to see a brotherly country chairining the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004), given our region's unwavering commitment to non-proliferation. Latin America and the Caribbean were pioneers in establishing a zone free of weapons of mass destruction.”
