1. “That review was the second event of its kind in the OSCE region - in the whole world, for that matter - and the first meeting to be held in a trilateral format. We intend to continue provide assistance to Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and other States in the implementation of such a vitally important international tool, namely, resolution 1540 (2004). We are planning to hold another seminar for members of the Commonwealth of Independent States on the implementation of this resolution. The first such seminar was held in 2013 in Minsk. It produced informal recommendations on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004).”

2. “When developing that instrument, we took into account best practices in the nuclear sphere. In 2016, we adopted a new edition of our laws on export control, a well as a new edition of our laws on the sanitary epidemiological welfare of our population. This document includes, inter alia, improved rules on the storage, transport and procedures regarding pathogenic microorganisms that fall into risk groups 1 to 4 of the World Health Organization. Belarus is open to active cooperation with States in the region ofEurasia on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). A prime example of that cooperation was the trilateral meeting for a peer review between Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan supported by Belarus, on the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004), which was held in the 2+1 format in Minsk in 2016.”

3. “In 1996, exactly 20 years ago, we completed the full removal of nuclear weapons from the territory of Belarus. Belarus remains committed to resolution 1540 (2004). In 2012, Belarus, in close cooperation with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) and the Office for Disarmament Affairs, adopted a road map for the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) at the national level. Special attention was paid to export control, as well as to the control of biological materials. A number of measures enshrinedinthe roadmap have alreadybeenincorporated in our national legislation. For example, Belarus has in place a multilayer system of export controls that allow us to efficiently counteract the spread of WMDs and related materials.”

4. “Mr. Macay (Belarus) (spoke in Russian): The non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) is a priority for Belarus in the area of international security. Adopted more than a decade ago, resolution 1540 (2004) is more needed than ever as a mechanism for ensuring and strengthening international security. We believe that, above all, the best way at the national level to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) involves an effective mechanism for counteracting the illegal trade in WMDs and related materials. Belarus pursues a consistent and responsible policy in this area and is party to all major international agreements on nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. We became the first State to voluntarily renounce the possession of the nuclear weapons inherited after the collapse of the Soviet Union.”
