  1. “The security environment today requires us to take effective measures to tackle the threat of the illicit use of WMDs by non-State actors. Once again, Japan would like to emphasize that the strengthening of the global non-proliferation regime, with resolution 1540 (2004) as its cornerstone, provides the foundation for international peace and security.”

  2. “Secondly, another observation from the review process pointed out that the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) is currently unable to effectively match offers and requests for technical assistance. One of the prime reasons is that requesting States do not necessarily recognize their own needs. In order to address that situation, Japan would like to strongly suggest that the 1540 Committee and its Group of Experts be given a mandate to propose and initiate dialogue with requesting States in a more proactive manner. That would enable the Committee and the Group of Experts to serve as consultants mediating between donors and recipient countries by identifying actual needs based on clear information acquired through direct interaction with the requesting State.”

  3. “First, export and border controls are essential for the prevention and detection of proliferation activities. The review process has pointed out that the implementation of paragraph 3 of the resolution, which calls for establishing domestic controls such as export and border controls, has fallen far behind the implementation of paragraph 2, which calls for prohibiting the proliferation activities undertaken by non-State actors. We underscore that clear definitions of the restricted items and activities are the key to facilitating the implementation of the obligations under resolution 1540 (2004). Japan is therefore ofthe View that requiring the establishment of national control lists in accordance with a Security Council resolution is a good step towards enhancing the non-proliferation regime.”

  4. “Resolution 1540 (2004) is a cornerstone of the global non-proliferation regime because it requires States to prevent proliferation and establish domestic laws, regulations and effective measures for that purpose. However, we should also recognize that the global situation has dramatically changed since that resolution was adopted, in 2004. Increased globalization has greatly increased the risk of the proliferation of WMDs. Indeed, we have witnessed cases where non-State actors have used WMDs to advance their goals. The ongoing comprehensive review presents a golden opportunity to identify the challenges facing the current non-proliferation regime and discuss how we address them. In that regard, Japan would like to propose two specific points.”

  5. “Japan strongly urges North Korea to refrain from further provocations and to comply faithfully and fully with the relevant Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2270 (2016), as well as other commitments, and calls upon all Member States to redouble their efforts to fully implement and enforce the relevant Security Council resolutions. Those efforts are crucial, and their significance and impact must not be underestimated. We must strongly support the work of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1718 (2006) and ensure that the Committee and its Panel of Experts can function effectively. Let me now move to the issue of preventing WMD proliferation with regard to non-State actors.”

  6. “I would like to welcome Malaysia's timely initiative to convene this open debate on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), amid the comprehensive review of the status of implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). Before turning to the issue of non-proliferation with regard to non-State actors, I would first like to refer to North Korea's nuclear test in January and its series of ballistic missile launches, including the most recent launch, which fell into Japan's exclusive economic zone on 3 August. Those blatant violations of Security Council resolutions pose clear challenges to the global non-proliferation regime and cannot be condoned for any reason.”
