The Project will deliver the following outputs:
expand and deepen the efforts of the CARICOM Secretariat to assist Member States in fully implementing UNSCR 1540, with particular emphasis on meeting obligations under UNSCR 1540 Operative Paragraphs (OP) 2 (criminalize non-state actors); OP 3 (export control); OP 6 (appropriate control lists); and OP 10 (prevent WMD trafficking), which pertain to the implementation of strategic trade legislation, and domestic export control measures;
assist Members in implementing OP 8 of the UNSCR 1540, which calls for greater cooperation with the BTWC, the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in meeting obligations under the three core non-proliferation regimes within the context of UNSCR 1540; and
further enable CARICOM Member States to establish national controls over strategic goods and dual-use materials, develop appropriate national control lists, as well as increase Member States’ capacity to detect, deter and combat the illicit export, transit, trans-shipment and re-export of these items, thereby preventing proliferation through continued commodity identification training and increased CBRN awareness with front-line officials.
