K. GERMAN PAPER ON 2007 1540 DEMARCHE RESULTS
1.(SBU) The Security Council Committee established pursuant to
resolution 1540 (2004) (the "1540 Committee") adopted its
report to the Security Council on states' compliance with
resolution 1540 at its twenty-second meeting on July 8.
2.(SBU) On the margins of the meeting, USUN provided the G-8
members of the Committee with a draft letter from the
Chairman to the Japanese Presidency of the G-8
Non-Proliferation Directors' Group (ref A). All agreed to
seek instructions and to respond as soon as possible. After
receiving input from the G-8 members and advising the
Department, USUN would expect to circulate the draft to the
remaining Committee members.
3.(SBU) While noting that most of the letter should be
acceptable, the Russian representative to the Committee said
he had instructions to ensure that the letter ask the G-8 to
encourage states that have not yet done so to report to the
Committee. USUN said the United States wanted the G-8 to
pursue concrete steps to promote states' implementation of
resolution 1540, rather than repeat its previous demarches
non-reporting states. COMMENT: Russia's request is
consistent with its long-standing position that the Committee
should focus on collecting reports from non-reporting states
until it receives all outstanding reports. END COMMENT.
