Practices

Part VI and Annex XVI of the Report, but also practices found use useful for implementing resolution 1540:

• Identification of across-government or inter-

departmental communication processes

• Awareness raising of:

existing measures that States have undertaken, existing work with International organizations

and entities (eg, guidelines and/or assistance) as also relevant where appropriate for implementing resolution 1540

If requestors have other priorities onto which 1540

assistance can be built – consider if similar situation for providers, many of whom already providing assistance for similar but other mandates, and now beginning to ‘label’ as also relevant for res. 1540
