Council resolutions

The OPCW s expertise and knowledge of CWs including its developed system of assistance and protection under the CWC (Article X) as a reflection of international solidarity and co-operation are being put to use to prevent and respond to chemical terrorism and thus considerably diminish its potential consequences. It can be added that pursuant to the recent UN Security Council Resolution No 1540, all nations are obliged to take actions ensuring that non-State actors cannot develop, produce, use or trade CWs according to the terms of CWC. 

The majority of Governments comply with their treaty obligations and provide the Board with information on seizures of substances used in the illicit manufacture of drugs. In addition, in accordance with Economic and Social Council resolution 1995/20 of 24 July 1995, most States and territories are providing voluntary information on licit trade in, uses of and requirements in scheduled substances, which is essential for preventing diversion. All the major...

Governments of the countries and territories indicated have provided information on licit trade in and legitimate uses of and requirements for substances in Tables I and II of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988, on form D for the years 2002-2006. That information was requested in accordance with Economic and Social Council resolution 1995/20. Details may be made available on a case-by-case basis, subject to confidentiality of data. 

More recently, this connection has been recognized in UN Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004). 

As is evident from the text of Security Council Resolution 1540 and the CWC, the implementation of international obligations at the national level encompasses both the adoption of legislation and its enforcement. This chapter will focus on the former, in particular on the comprehensiveness of legislation required by the CWC. 

It should be noted that some States Parties have argued that the specification in Article VI, paragraph 2, of the chemicals and facilities subject to verification means that a State Party may regulate only these and not go any further in its regulation of toxic chemicals. This view appears to be contradictory to the text of the provision, which states a broad rule and indicates that the verification of specific chemicals and facilities is a means to this end. The point is in any event made moot by the broader obligations introduced by Security Council Resolution 1540. 

Security Council Resolution 1540, adopted on 28 April 2004, confirms the connection with the OPCW s work. This has also been firmly established in the consultations of the States Parties, between the OPCW s Action Plan on Article VII of the Convention and Resolution 1540. Under the mandatory Security Council resolution, adopted under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, all UN members are required ... 

By Security Council resolution 687 the IAEA was entrusted, inter alia, with the task of carrying out immediate on-site inspections of Iraq s nuclear capabilities based on Iraq s declarations and on the designation of additional locations by the Special Commission established pursuant to Paragraph 9(b) of that resolution. Pursuant to the resolution, Iraq was to submit to the Secretary General of the United Nations and to the Director General of the IAEA within 15 days of adoption of the resolution, a declaration of the locations, amounts and types of nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons-usable material and any subsystems or components and any research, development, support or manufacturing facilities related to nuclear weapons or nuclear weapons-usable material. 

At the request of the Security Council, a high-level mission composed of the Director General, the Chairman of the Special Commission and the Under Secretary General for Disarmament Affairs went to Iraq on 30 June to secure immediate and unimpeded access to all sites and objects which the team had endeavoured to inspect. Pursuant to the mission s visit, Iraq indicated its intention to submit an additional list of nuclear items relevant to Security Council resolution 687. 

The United Nations Security Council Resolution 687, the so-called cease-fire resolution, inter alia, mandated the destruction of all weapons of mass destruction— chemical, biological, ballistic and nuclear—existing in Iraq. The IAEA was given sole responsibility under this resolution to destroy, remove or render harmless not only nuclear weapons but also any existing capability to acquire them, including prohibited precursor materials such as enriched uranium, plutonium and all facilities, equipment and materials used for their production. 

It is of interest is to present here a list of items which were to be reported to the IAEA. Security Council Resolution 707 demands that Iraq, inter alia, halt all nuclear activities of any kind, except for certain uses of isotopes, until the Security Council determines that Iraq is in full compliance with the provisions of Resolution 707 and paragraphs 12 and 13 of Resolution 687 and that the IAEA determines that Iraq is in full compliance with the provisions of its safeguards agreement with the IAEA. Once these determinations have been made affirmatively by the Security Council and by the IAEA, Iraq may seek to initiate the nuclear activities which are not prohibited by Resolution 687. Approval by the Security Council for Iraq to initiate one or more of these nuclear activities may necessitate a corresponding amendment to this list. The list contains articles specifically prohibited to Iraq under Resolution 687 as well as others which may be prohibited if they are used, or are to be used, in activities prohibited under Resolution 687.

Following the establishment in 1988 of the limited international special surveillance list of non-scheduled substances, in accordance with Economic and Social Council resolution 1996/29, the Board has continued to closely monitor the illicit use of precursor chemicals that serve as substitutes for those that are more closely monitored under the 1988 Convention. In doing so, the Board has been able to ensure that the chemicals included in the limited international special surveillance list are those non-scheduled substances most likely to be diverted from legitimate trade.
