The United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (ODA) supported Cambodian authorities in delivering an introductory workshop to advance the development of a Voluntary National Action Plan for the Implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1540 (2004) in the country’s capital, Phnom Penh.
This workshop was hosted by the General Secretariat of the National Authority for the Prohibition of Chemical, Nuclear, Biological and Radiological Weapons (NACW) of Cambodia pursuant to UNSCR 2663 (2002), which calls on States to prepare national implementation action plans, with the assistance of the 1540 Committee. The main goal for the three-day workshop was to map out Cambodia’s priorities and plans for implementing the key provisions of resolution 1540 (2004) and to subsequently submit these plans to the 1540 Committee.
