The Gambia commits to commence preparation and submission of its First National Report on Implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1540


I warmly welcome the written commitment made by the Government of the Republic of The Gambia last week to begin preparation of its First National Report on Implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004) on Prevention of Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction to Non-State Actors. The risk of gain of access to, manufacture and/or usage of WMD by terrorists or terrorist organizations has never been higher than it is in the uncertain world of today. UN Security Council Resolution 2325 (2016) specifically articulates the important role of Parliamentarians in seeking the implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004). All UN Member States have a role to play in addressing this exponentially growing existential threat. I applaud the Government of the Republic of The Gambia for having taken this vital initial step.
