SUMMARY:Identification of Effective Implementation Practices by Examining UNSCR 1540 (2004) After a Decade of its Existence
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is being held in the framework of the 10th anniversary of the adoption of 1540 to both better understand the resolution’s implementation and to identify effective practices for the implementation of the resolution going forward. The primary participants in the event will be members of civil society who have identified effective practices. The audience will also include officials positioned to adopt or enact these effective practices. The event is hosted by the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses\, Institute for Strategic Studies\, King’s College London (Project Alpha) and the UN Office of Disarmament affairs.  \nBackground\nWhen the UN Security Council adopted resolution 1540 on 28 April 2004\, expectations for its effective implementation were low. The resolution was intended to assist those States that were willing to support the goals of the resolution but which lacked the legal basis through which to do so. The UNSCR 1540 Committee was set up to help Member States\, and other stakeholders\, to implement the resolution. The UN Security Council subsequently extended the mandate of the 1540 Committee three times. Most recently\, on April 2011\, the mandate of the committee was extended for a period of ten years to 2021. The key challenges to overcome during this longer mandate are those surrounding effective implementation of the resolutions requirements.  \nUNSCR 1540 has many achievements to its credit. In the decade since 1540’s adoption\, progress has been realised in expanding the geographical coverage of certain elements of the resolutions requirements and in improving the level of implementation in individual states. Under the auspices of UNSCR 1540 the legislative framework of numerous countries has been improved. Countries such as Malaysia have\, for the first time\, adopted trade control acts while many others have improved specific aspects of their legal system.  \nThe UNSCR 1540 committee has been instrumental in enabling the improved legal adherence to the resolution’s requirements. Through its work the 1540 Committee has also helped to establish 1540 as a framework for cooperation amongst States\, civil society and non-state actors alike in ensuring that the balance between security and prosperity is maintained. Several member countries spread over different geographical regions have received technical assistance to create or strengthen national control and security structures. For this purpose\, the Committee and member states have involved relevant international\, regional and sub-regional organizations.  \nHowever\, the success of UNSCR 1540 as an instrument to strengthen legal frameworks has led directly to a new need for the implementation of national legislation to be improved. The adoption of laws cannot alone deliver upon the objectives of 1540. The challenge for the international community\, therefore\, in the second decade since the resolution’s adoption is to match the improvements in legal basis with improvements in implementation.  It is in this context that there is a need to identify effective practices.  \nObjectives of the Workshop:\n\nThe main workshop objective is to identify effective practices that could provide solutions to the implementation challenges of 1540’s export control provisions.  \nThe workshop will also provide some insights into the geographical implementation of Resolution 1540. \nThe other purpose of the workshop is to analyse the challenges and opportunities faced by the UNSCR 1540 Committee in supporting implementation (as opposed to supporting the development of legislative frameworks).  \n\nProgramme\nDay 1\n08:30-09:30: Registration 			 \n09.30-10.30: Inaugural Session>\nChair: Arvind Gupta \n\nWelcome Remarks by the Organisers (IDSA\, King’s College London and
