Experiences Shared, Lessons Learned, and Effective Practices

Under operative paragraph 10 of resolution 1977 (2011), the Security Council urges the 1540 Committee to continue, among others, to engage actively with States to promote the sharing of experience, lessons learned and effective practices, in the areas covered by resolution 1540 (2004).

On 16 November 2013, the 1540 Committee Chair sent a letter to Member States on effective practices (S/AC.44/2013/OC.85)

Furthermore, in operative paragraph 26 of resolution 2663 (2022), the Council directs the 1540 Committee to convene regular open briefings, at least once a year or as needed, to provide an opportunity to Member States to voluntarily share their experiences, lessons learned and best practices regarding implementation.
