For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary
April 28, 2004
Statement by the President
Last September, I called on the United Nations Security Council to urge
the cooperative action of all U.N. members against the illicit
trafficking of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. I commend
today's unanimous Security Council resolution, which answers that
call.
It now remains for all member states to act on the measures urged
by this resolution. Member states should enact strict export controls,
criminalize the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and
secure all related materials within their borders.
Today's resolution is an important achievement. We must continue
to press these efforts to ensure that the world's most destructive
weapons are kept from the world's most dangerous regimes and
organizations.
