UNCCT, UNICRI and the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Coordination Compact are investing efforts to understand this threat and how technology could be used as a solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">International peace and security<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The UN Security Council has specifically addressed the threat of weapons of mass destruction and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear terrorism on a number of occasions. In resolution 1373 (2001), the Council recognized the connection between international terrorism and, inter alia, the illegal movement of such materials. Its seminal pronouncement on the issue came in the form of resolution 1540 (2004), through which the Council affirmed that the proliferation of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons and their means of delivery constitutes a threat to international peace and security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More recently, the Security Council again called on Member States in resolution 2325 (2016) to strengthen their national anti-proliferation regimes in the implementation of resolution 1540 (2004). &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To this end, the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy calls upon the Member States, International Organizations and the UN System to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Combat smuggling of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that advances in biotechnology are not used for terrorist purposes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve border and customs controls to prevent and detect illicit trafficking of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons and materials<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improve coordination in planning a response to a terrorist attack using chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear weapons or materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Sixth Review of the Counter-Terrorism Strategy, the General Assembly called upon all Member States to \u201cprevent terrorists from acquiring weapons of mass destruction and their means of delivery\u2026 and [encouraged] cooperation among and between Member States and relevant regional and International Organizations for strengthening national capacities in this regard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WMD \/ CBRN Programming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to this global threat, UNOCT through UNCCT has developed&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.un.org\/counterterrorism\/cct\/chemical-biological-radiological-and-nuclear-terrorism\">Programme on Preventing and Responding to Weapons of Mass Destruction\/Chemical Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (WMD\/CBRN) Terrorism<\/a>that seeks to advance Member States\u2019 and International Organizations understanding of the level of their threat in relation to terrorism. Our Programme supports their prevention, preparedness and response efforts at their request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through our Programming, UNOCT\/UNCCT also seeks to strengthen partnerships for, and to provide capacity-building support to requesting Member States. These partnerships focus on areas such as border and export control, strategic trade control, illicit trafficking, protection of CBRN materials and critical infrastructure, incident response and crisis management, and forensics, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INTERNATIONAL FORUM IN ALMATY, KAZAKHSTAN-AFGHANISTAN GOVERNMENTS &#8211;2024 SOLUTIONS THROUGH DISCUSSIONS AND NEGOTIATIONS INFORMING WORLD ABOUT SECURITY, REALITIES AND OPPORTUNITIES IS THE MAIN OUR GOAL INTERNATIONAL CASPIAN SUMMIT 2018 Meeting in Aktau, Kazakhstan.
