  1. “Finally, in order to make further progress in the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004), at the end of July, Chile and Colombia will carry out the first on-site peer-review visit to assess the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) and share experiences, procedures and best practices at the national level. This exercise was made possible thanks to the support of the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs, the 1540 Committee Group of Experts and the Inter-American Committee against Terrorism.”

  2. “Proof of the foregoing is the country's recent participation in the first regional conference in Latin America of the Wiesbaden Industry Process, entitled "Private sector engagement in strategic trade controls for the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004)", which took place in Mexico City at the beginning of this month and where the need to strengthen ties between the public and private sector and to work jointly to fulfil our country's commitment to resolution 1540 (2004) and strategic trade control of strategic trade was made evident.”

  3. “Colombia therefore considers it essential to make strides in the implementation of modern standards stipulated by the World Customs Organization in order to meet the challenges required by both resolution 1540 (2004) and an increasingly interconnected and globalized world, thereby improving the foreign trade processes related to imports, transit, transhipment and exports. That is why my country is seeking to make progress in learning and awareness-raising in its institutions with respect to working on strategic trade issues, given their direct implications for the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004).”

  4. “Similarly, importance has been given to strengthening border controls to prevent illegal trafficking in hazardous materials, controls in ports and airports to prevent the diversion of such materials, and oversight on the import, export, transit, transhipment and re-export of chemical, radiological and nuclear products. On the international scene today, the emergence of new threats and irregular wars have served to highlight the imperative need to ensure that weapons and their components, as well as the technology and processes for manufacturing them, are not likely to fall into the hands of non-State actors and terrorist groups. For this reason, strategic trade control has become an irreversible trend at the international level. Customs is a crucial link for strategic trade control.”

  5. “The strengthening of security measures and chemical, nuclear and radiological protection will prevent non-State actors from acquiring these types of materials. The OPCW and the International Atomic Energy Agency, through their verification activities and safeguards systems, respectively, have played a leading role in monitoring the peaceful uses of chemistry and nuclear energy. These systems of control have guaranteed that all legally constituted actors within States comply with the established controls. Accordingly, these industries ensure adequate monitoring of hazardous materials when they are on their radar. However, the importance of strengthening the identification and tracking of end users, both within States and abroad, has been emphasized.”

  6. “However, efforts aimed at adopting national legal norms must be accompanied by efforts aimed at strengthening cooperation between States and institutions and addressing the issue from the perspective of prevention. Beyond strengthening legal norms and the capacity to respond, Colombia has repeatedly suggested in different forums improving particular aspects, such as safety and chemical, nuclear and radiological protective measures in order to prevent the diversion of hazardous materials into the hands of non-State actors, while also ensuring their security and protection at all stages of their life cycle, from research, development and manufacturing to transport through the supply chain, storage and waste disposal.”

  7. “Mr. Morales Lepez (Colombia) (spoke in Spanish): I join the previous delegations that have congratulated you, Mr. President, on your work in the Security Council this month and on your leadership as Chair of the Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). We are grateful to Under-Secretary-General Nakamitsu and Mr. Joseph Ballard of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) for their briefings. Following the concept note for today's debate, I will focus on sharing practical, concrete measures from my country's experience, with a view to facilitating and improving States' implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). For Colombia, national legislation is a key element in addressing the threat posed by the acquisition of weapons of mass destruction by non-State actors.”
