Summary 
------- 
 
1.  A regional workshop on the implementation of UN Security 
Council Resolution 1540, which concerns non-proliferation and 
export control obligations, was co-hosted by the U.S. and 
Argentina and held in Buenos Aires, Argentina from May 13-14, 
2008.  All members of the Organization of American States 
were invited.  Participants, listed in paragraph 12, included 
seventy-seven senior and mid-level government officials 
involved in reporting or implementing provisions of 
Resolution 1540.  The program offered participants the 
opportunity to discuss issues with UN 1540 Committee members 
as well as discuss problems and strategies of meeting country 
obligations required by the agreement.  In addition, the 
group discussed the recently passed UNSCR resolution 1810, 
which provides additional guidance on implementing national 
action plans related to nonproliferation and export control. 
End Summary. 
 
----------------------------------- 
UNSCR 1540 Compliance in the Region 
----------------------------------- 
 
2.  The workshop was primarily intended for the states of 
North and South America as well as the Caribbean to discuss 
UN Resolution 1540 reporting status and the development of 
national action plans.  Delegates initially discussed 
problems and lessons learned in using the UN 1540 Committee 
provided matrix (a self-assessment tool) as part of the 
reporting process.  Overall, as a region, the OAS states have 
been responsive to the UN and have submitted their initial UN 
1540 reports.  However, many countries noted that although 
their reports stated they were &in full 1540 compliance,8 
the breadth and scope of functional areas to be addressed was 
potentially overwhelming.  There was consensus that all 
states need a central point of contact or coordinator and 
regional organizations, such as the OAS, also need 
coordinators to engage with the UN 1540 Committee. 
Additional objectives of the workshop included: reviewing UN 
Resolution 1810 and discussing its emphasis on 
implementation; discussing the role regional organizations 
will play as they assist members to achieve full 1540 
compliance; analyzing donor country technical assistance 
programs (e.g. EXBS); reviewing the UN 1540 Committee 
assistance request form, and debating next steps. 
 
3.  Participants included senior policy representatives from 
19 OAS states as well as policy and technical officials from 
the OAS, UN 1540 Committee and Committee Panel of Experts, UN 
Office of Disarmament Affairs (UN ODA), Organization for 
Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Organization for 
the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), Missile 
Technology Control Regime (MTCR), and INTERPOL.  In addition, 
24 local Argentine officials from various export control and 
nonproliferation ministries attended the program (see para 12 
for full participant list).   In the spirit of open and 
honest discussion, it became apparent during the working 
group sessions that although all OAS countries have reported 
to the UN 1540 Committee that their states are in &full 
compliance with the reporting obligation,8 many smaller 
states do not have a complete understanding of their 
implementation obligations.  The basic problem is that those 
states cannot get their senior policymakers to focus on WMD 
proliferation as a threat, and they will need assistance in 
developing, then executing national implementation plans. 
 
4.  Two major points that emerged from the presentations by 
delegates who have been involved in their country,s 
reporting or implementation were: interagency cooperation and 
information sharing is essential, and regional events and 
training by IGOs is important in preventing a &weak link8 
in hemispheric security.  As an example of the first point, 
Canadian delegate Thomas Blackmore pointed out that in many 
customs organizations there may be programs that meet or 
assist 1540 requirements.  That 1540 coordinators within 
states are unaware of such assets may actually lead to 
under-reporting on compliance.  The second point was that it 
was important to continue regional events so that smaller 
countries, which may have gaps in their programs, do not fall 
further behind.  Those countries do not want to become the 
&weakest link8 in the chain of hemispheric security and 
become a target or terrorists to exploit.

The OAS Role 
------------ 
 
5.  During the wrap-up session, the three moderators, Thomas 
Wuchte (U.S. Department of State), Carlos Hernandez 
(Argentine MFA), and Gonzalo Talavera (Peru OAS 
Representative), assured the delegates that their points were 
heard and understood, and that the Committee on Hemispheric 
Security within the OAS, chaired by Ambassador Izben Williams 
(Nevis and St. Kitts), would take an active role coordinating 
assistance requested by states.  Ambassador Williams called 
for a meeting between his Committee and the UN 1540 
Committee, to analyze the gaps, both national and regional, 
and set assistance priorities based on an analysis of the 
reporting and assistance requests received by the Committee. 
 
-------------------- 
Delegate Conclusions 
-------------------- 
 
 
6.  Other highlights of the program included: 
 
-- The UN 1540 Committee will specifically seek to cooperate 
with regional groups such as the OAS; 
-- States can share lessons learned, gap analyses, national 
implementation plans and frameworks, and specific 
implementation methodologies though the UN 1540 Committee and 
where appropriate on the UN 1540 Website; 
-- A review of UN Resolution 1810, as a follow-up to UN 1673 
emphasizes a shift from reporting to national implementation 
plans; 
-- States should customize their national implementation 
plans based on their national capacity and priorities; 
-- A 1540 Report on Implementation is under development; and 
-- Regimes and IGOs need to provide technical assistance at 
the national and regional level. 
 
------------------------ 
Delegate Recommendations 
------------------------ 
 
7.  Based on statements from delegates of the Caribbean 
countries regarding the gaps that exist between the reports 
and the actual state of implementation, a priority need for 
the CARICOM countries is technical assistance and training on 
developing a national export control/nonproliferation law. 
UN resolution 1540 requires signatories to establish legal 
prohibitions to form the foundation of their national 
systems.  On the margins, delegate Bernadette Butler 
(Bahamas) suggested this could be accomplished regionally 
through the Commonwealth,s organization.  A second priority 
would be to analyze the requests for assistance that come to 
the UN 1540 Committee and prioritize requests made by OAS 
member states.  Working with Ambassador Williams and the 
Committee on Hemispheric Security, some technical assistance 
and training programs could be delivered regionally instead 
of bilaterally thereby optimizing the use of assistance 
funds.  Finally ( MERCUSOR will hold internal discussions in 
mid-June and Post is following up to attend as an observer.

Nuts and Bolts 
-------------- 
 
8.  The workshop was organized into four parts: an opening 
plenary session, followed by three working sessions led by a 
moderator.  The plenary session was opened by Ambassador Raul 
Ricardes of Argentina, who thanked all the delegates for 
their participation in the important job of preventing the 
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and fighting 
terrorism.  He noted that Argentina was a target of terrorist 
attacks in 1992 and 1994 and that no country is immune from 
the actions of these non-state actors.  Ambassador Ricardes 
was followed by U.S. Ambassador Earl Anthony Wayne, who 
reminded delegates that UNSCR 1540 was a vital element in 
combating non-proliferation.  Wayne remarked that the U.S. 
has been working with Argentina and many other nations for 
many years to combat the spread of WMD and terrorism and this 
workshop was part of those continuing efforts.  Ambassador 
Wayne encouraged the delegates to share their success stories 
and learn from each other on ways to implement the 
resolution. 
 
9.  Dr. Izben Williams, Ambassador from St. Kitts and Nevis 
 
BUENOS AIR 00000793  003 OF 009 
 
 
and Chair of the Committee of Hemispheric Security of the OAS 
delivered the keynote address.  Ambassador Williams 
reaffirmed that the OAS considered implementation of 1540 
fundamentally important to hemispheric security.  Ambassador 
Williams reviewed the history of resolutions adopted by the 
General Assembly of the OAS related to non-proliferation and 
noted several resolutions related to nonproliferation will be 
adopted by the Assembly next month (June 2008).  He 
recognized that clear gaps still persist "between the global 
consensus with regard to the threat of WMD proliferation, and 
national capacities and sometime willingness to take 
decisive, concrete actions to address such threats." 
Ambassador Williams reminded delegates that to meet their 
obligations under the resolution, states must take 
significant measures which must include: the establishment of 
legal prohibitions; implementing systems to account for, 
secure and physically protect sensitive materials, and 
develop appropriate and effective border and trade controls. 
Based on the extension of 1540 by UN resolution 1810, 
Ambassador Williams encouraged the UNSCR 1540 Committee to 
assess the submitted reports, identify gaps in state's 
capacities as well as regional deficiencies, and prioritize 
steps that states should take to meet their commitments.  In 
conclusion, Ambassador Williams recommended that UN 1540 
Committee members should meet with the OAS Hemispheric 
Security Committee to rationalize and coordinate assistance 
projects to focus on priority gaps. 
 
10.  The plenary session was followed by three working 
sessions each with a moderator and several panelists. 
Working Session I was entitled &Key Elements of the 1540 
Resolution ad Overview of the Current Regional 
Implementation Stage8 and was chaired by Carlos Hernandez of 
the Argentine MFA.  Panelists provided a series of 
presentations on reports filed to date with the UNSCR 1540 
Committee and what the roles other IGOs are playing to assist 
states with 1540 implementation.  Hamilton O,Neil, the 
delegate from Jamaica, forcefully stated that before the 
group started a discussion of implementation plans, delegates 
should recognize that in the smaller countries of CARICOM, 
basic awareness training, particularly for high level policy 
makers was still needed. 
 
Working Session II was entitled &National Implementation 
Plans8 and was moderated by Thomas Wuchte (U.S. State 1540 
Coordinator).  A series of panelists described methodologies 
they had used within their country or organization to 
establish a framework for an implementation plan.  Two 
delegates described the difficulties of assessing all the 
functions various agencies perform related to 1540 and the 
importance of good interagency cooperation.  There was 
consensus that each country needed a focal point or national 
coordinator for 1540 activities. 
Working Session III was moderated by Gonzalo Talavera (Peru 
MFA-OAS Representative) and continued the theme of national 
implementation plans.  A series of delegates gave statements 
regarding their country,s implementation of action plans. 
Nils Johanson, U.S. State ISN/ECC described technical 
assistance that could be offered by the State through the 
Export Control and Border Security Program (EXBS) Delegates 
from the UN 1540 Committee reiterated their intent to help 
all states with advice and technical assistance for those 
that require it.
