Delegates attending the Regional Conference on “Enhancing Capacity to Implement United Nations Security Council Sanctions Resolutions and Other Sanctions Regimes in Southeast Asia 2023”

The Regional Conference was organised by the German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA). It was attended by more than 40 delegates from Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore, experts from the Export Control Policy Office of the Australian Department of Defence, and members of BAFA. The Vietnamese delegation comprised three delegates from the Chemical Corps (Standing Office 81), the Department of International Organisations Cooperation and the Customs Control and Supervision Department/General Department of Vietnam Customs.

At the Conference, Mr Georg Pietsch, Director-General of BAFA, stressed the importance of effectively implementing the sanctions set out in United Nations Security Council Resolutions in order to maintain world peace and security and to foster the strong development of the international community. In addition, representatives of Singapore, Australia, the Philippines and other countries shared updates as well as the difficulties and challenges in controlling and inspecting goods for export, import, transhipment and transit; the structure of the agencies responsible for implementation; mechanisms for issuing legislation; and proposed approaches to the implementation of sanctions.

View of the Conference

Through the Conference, the participating officials gained access to and an understanding of information on United Nations sanctions measures and other countries' implementation experience, and were able to draw on partner support in training to build officials' capacity in controlling strategic goods, dual-use goods and military-related goods, meeting the requirements for implementing United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540.
