  1. We fully support the intention of the Secretary-General to continue examining all cases of concern and obtaining additional verified information. Having stressed the imperative of full compliance with the relevant obligations, I would like to re-emphasize the importance of further outreach on the Iranian issue. The proper and diligent implementation of resolution 2231 (2015), with all of its annexes, will be a key contribution to regional and global security and stability.

  2. While recognizing that report to be an informative document that is based on public and open information and States' notifications, we consider that it is important to ensure that any concern it contains does not provoke further tensions but rather would be addressed and resolved through negotiations. In that context, let me reiterate Ukraine's openness and readiness to continue constructive interactions with the Secretariat, including with regard to the incident that occurred in January in the airport in Kyiv, when an attempt to smuggle components of military goods to Iran was prevented by the Ukrainian law enforcement authorities. As soon as the pre-trial investigation of that case is finalized, all additional information will be shared in due course.

  3. With its nuclear-weapons past, Ukraine remains committed to the goals of the Non-Proliferation Treaty and fully respects the restrictions and prohibitions introduced by the relevant Security Council resolutions. Iran has been proving its intention to use nuclear technologies exclusively for peaceful purposes. At the same time, we also acknowledge the existence of varying interpretations regarding the applicability of resolution 2231 (2015) to its ballistic missile tests. Referring further to the third report of the Secretary- General (S/20l7/515) on the implementation of that resolution, I wish to recall that the existing restrictions on arms-related transfers as well as the assets-freeze and the travel-ban provisions stipulated by annex B of resolution 2231 (2015) should be fully adhered to.

  4. In particular, Ukraine fully supports the IAEA's long-term mission of the verification and monitoring of Iran's nuclear-related commitments, with the goal of reaching the overall conclusion of the matter. During the past six months, we witnessed a continuation of the smooth and effective functioning of the procurement channel mechanism, with the approval of several proposals to supply Iran with relevant goods and technologies. As a staunch supporter of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Ukraine stresses the importance of diligent compliance with the JCPOA, which aims at striking a balance between the legitimate right to develop nuclear energy and the need to stem the proliferation of nuclear weapons. That historic nuclear deal fully respects such a balance.

  5. 1 thank Under-Secretary- General Feltman, Mr. Vale de Almeida, Head of the Delegation of the European Union, and Ambassador Cardi of Italy, in his capacity as Facilitator for the implementation of Security Council resolution 2231 (2015), for providing factual and substantial reports on the status of the implementation of both the resolution and the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), and for providing detailed presentations on the work conducted in that area over the past six months. We highly commend the concerted efforts of the Secretariat, the European Commission, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the Facilitator's team to ensure the full and proper implementation of those crucial instruments, which have contributed to the strengthening of non-proliferation and export-control regimes in general.

  6. In that regard, I would like to mention that, in November this year in Kyiv, an international workshop on promoting the effective implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) in the context of evolving proliferation risks and challenges will be held in cooperation with the Office for Disarmament Affairs and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

  7. In that regard, my country appreciates the efforts of Italy, President of the Group of Seven, for its able leadership in this area and for the promising results of the last Global Partnership working group meeting, held in Rome in February. In conclusion, I wish to reiterate that facilitating the full implementation ofresolution 1540 (2004) underpins my country's position in the field of non-proliferation and anti-terrorist activities. Ukraine will continue to be engaged constructively both within the 1540 Committee and with the broader United Nations membership to ensure that the outcomes of the comprehensive review bear fruit.

  8. In that regard, I wish to commend the historic contribution of Spain, the previous Chair of the 1540 Committee, to strengthening the role of that resolution for a long-term perspective, including through the establishment last year of the Group of Friends of resolution 1540 (2004). We fully support the statement to be delivered later today on behalf of the Group. As far as the broader context of global non-proliferation efforts is concerned, I cannot but mention that Ukraine attaches particular importance to the Global Partnership initiative as a proper format for strengthening capabilities to resist today's threats and challenges in the area of WMD proliferation, including its terrorist dimension.

  9. The international community should act decisively and in a united fashion with a view to preventing any attempts and countering every action taken to endanger the relevant international instruments through either aggressive policies and violations of State sovereignty and territorial integrity or through blocking important decisions to be adopted by the United Nations or its bodies. With a view to tackling the growing threat of the proliferation of WMD globally, intensifying effective interactions among States and building synergies among all stakeholders, including the relevant international, regional, subregional, non-governmental organizations and civil society, are important and urgent tasks.

  10. We stand united in condemning, in the strongest terms, any use of any type of WMD, which constitutes a violation of international law, a war crime and a crime against humanity. The erosion to the existing world order, continuous breaches and unaddressed violations of international law, along with ongoing conflicts in different parts of the globe, continue to weaken the chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear security architecture as a whole. It is critical to find practical ways to ensure that the international legal norms related to WMD non-proliferation do not remain on paper, but that they are also properly enforced and fully respected.

  11. These risks arise not only from gaps in national legislation or insufficient resources, but also from the rapid development of science and technology, as well as e-commerce, along with a lack of threat awareness among academia, industry and civil society. In the past decade, chemical and biological agents have quite often been referred to as potential weapons to be used by terrorists, other non-State actors and rogue States. Regrettably, there have been several confirmed cases of the use of chemical weapons, particularly in Syria, Iraq and Malaysia. Ukraine's positon in that regard is very clear: there can be no impunity, and all the perpetrators must be brought to justice.

  12. Ukraine, as a State with a nuclear-weapons past and as a full-fledged party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention, as well as all export-control regimes, is strongly committed to the full implementation of resolution 1540 (2004) and is determined to further increase the effectiveness of the national response to combat proliferation through collaboration, capacity- building and outreach. Despite all the measures taken by Member States to reduce proliferation risks, we are witnessing growing and even more sophisticated challenges in this area.

  13. The report of the review (see S/2016/1038) - while clearly demonstrating both the varying progress made with regard to implementation on various types of WMD and the obligations set out in resolution 1540 (2004) - helps to define specific areas for each party concerned as to where national or regional efforts should be intensified. Indeed, many significant challenges remain in terms of keeping the world's most dangerous materials from falling into the wrong hands, both intentionally or as a result of neglect or oversight.

  14. Resolution 1540 (2004) adds a new dimension to the issue of non-proliferation by addressing the illegal trafficking in relevant materials and by prohibiting their acquisition by non- State actors, including terrorists. The year 2016 marked a significant stage in promoting WMD non-proliferation. I wish to reiterate Ukraine's support for the outcomes of the recently concluded comprehensive review process, which culminated in the unanimous adoption of resolution 2325 (2016). Once properly implemented, the conclusions and recommendations of the review will reinforce resolution 1540 (2004).

  15. At the outset, I would like to thank the Bolivian presidency for holding today's open debate on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). I also thank you, Sir, for the statement delivered in your capacity as Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004). I am also grateful for the briefings delivered by Ms. Nakamitsu and Mr. Ballard. While fully aligning myself with the statement to be delivered later in this debate on behalf of the European Union, I would like to make some comments in my national capacity. I fully share the view that the uniqueness of resolution 1540 (2004) lies in its complementarity ofthe existing international regimes on the non-proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and their means of delivery.
