How is the GICNT related to United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1540?
UNSCR 1540 outlines Chapter 7 UN obligations for UN member States with respect to a broad variety of nonproliferation areas, to include nuclear terrorism. This includes prohibiting support to non-state actors seeking to acquire nuclear materials or weapons, adopting and enforcing effective laws prohibiting nuclear proliferation to non-state actors, and promoting dialogue and taking cooperative action to prevent illicit trafficking. Participating in the GICNT is one of many steps that UN member nations may take to fulfill their UNSCR 1540 obligations.
