Given that PSI operates within the framework of UNSCR 1718, 1737, 1747, 1803, and 1540, does the Initiative target specific states for interdiction efforts?
The PSI is a voluntary initiative aimed at the global proliferation threat posed by all state and non-state actors of proliferation concern. Through UNSCRs 1718, 1737, 1747 and 1803 the international community sent unambiguous messages: North Korea must eliminate its nuclear weapons and nuclear programs and stop development and proliferation of WMD and missiles; Iran must fulfill its international obligations and stop its enrichment, reprocessing and heavy water-related activities. The PSI is one effective way for states to implement the sanctions contained in UNSCRs 1718, 1737, 1747, and 1803.
