  1. “But with that is also a global supply chain that is ever more complex, yet more integrated and specialized. It is harder than ever before for national Governments to combat the illicit activities ofnon-State actors on their own. It requires more cooperation across borders and, more importantly, between the public and private sectors.”

  2. “For a global business, divergent and varying requirements among Member States add cost, confusion and, often, complex conflicts of laws. To maximize the effectiveness of the objectives of resolution 1540 (2004), uniform or harmonized regulatory requirements among key markets, to the extent possible, make it easier for multinational businesses to comply and to cooperate with the public sector. Such efforts as the Waasenaar Arrangement, while not universal, do set the global standards for the classification of dual-use goods for licensing and export-control purposes. That type of uniformity is highly welcomed by multinational businesses that must contend with multijurisdictional issues. In conclusion, although it is a cliche', the technological and economic advancements are getting faster and faster.”

  3. “For example, DHL has instituted a global transactional screening system whereby lists of restricted individuals and entities designated by the United Nations or national Governments are used to reduce the chance of providing DHL services to those who seek to harm global security. Such a process is expensive, requiring vast information technology systems, software and specialized personnel. But in the end, it is important for companies like DHL to reduce such risks because ultimately such measures can avert business disruption and detrimental impact to the world economy. One of the challenges that faces private industry in the context of resolution 1540 (2004) is that despite the high level of participation among Member States, there are differing requirements and standards, such as in export-control laws.”

  4. “There needs to be more dialogue similar to the Wiesbaden process, with more private sector participation and in more regions of the world. Businesses such as DHL have a unique vantage point and opportunity to cooperate with the public sector to ensure that logistics services are not used for illicit activities by non-State actors or if they are, to mitigate the risks to the global order. While it should never be the role of private businesses to be a proxy of law enforcement, businesses are on the front lines of economic activity and thus can and should have strong internal compliance programmes to prevent their products and services from being used by malicious non-State actors.”

  5. “In that regard, the Government of Germany's efforts with the Wiesbaden process, which we have participated in, is a model for facilitating dialogue between the public and private sectors. Given the limited time, I would mention only that various documents that contain detailed information have already been transmitted by the German Government regarding best practices for public-private dialogue, as well as measures, such as internal compliance programmes, that businesses should adopt. What the Wiesbaden process has taught us is that it is only dialogue and the sharing of information and best practices that can reduce misunderstanding between the public and private sectors and highlight the crucial role that the private sector plays in that arena.”

  6. “While a business's goal is to maximize profit for its shareholders, the reality in the twenty-first century is that a multinational company cannot be profitable or increase its brand value in the long run if it ignores international norms, legal requirements and potential risks to global security. To achieve the aspirations laid out in resolution 1540 (2004), cooperation just between national Governments is not enough. With the advancement of technology driven by the private sector and the quickly evolving supply chain and its modalities, such as the growth of non-asset-based service providers, the private sector is a key component of the fight for global peace and security. The private sector and the public sector must work together in combating illicit activities by non-State actors.”

  7. “As many of those present know, Deutsche Post- DHL Group is a global leader in mail and logistics, and its various business divisions provide services ranging from express delivery services, warehousing, mail, air and freight forwarding, customs brokerage, aviation, and so on. DHL operates in practically all countries and territories throughout the world, servicing every imaginable sector of the world economy. Such international presence and reach pose challenges in an environment where there is conflict, political tensions and non-State actors who seek to harm global peace and security. While businesses are in some sense agnostic when it comes to international political objectives, global businesses benefit from international stability, trade and economic integration.”

  8. “Mr. Min: I thank you, Sir, for the kind invitation to address Security Council members and other representatives on the important topic of furthering the mandates of resolution 1540 (2004), focused on non-State actors. I want to especially thank the Mission of the Kingdom of Spain to the United Nations for its kind facilitation of my participation today. It is an honour for me to be here to share some of my thoughts on the role of the private sector in this endeavour to further the work of resolution 1540 (2004) and the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. My views today are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of my employer.”
