'National implementation' is the process by which states take a variety of measures to bring their domestic law into conformity with their obligations under international law. These 'National Implementation Measures' may include laws, administrative procedures and regulations. In terms of nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, such measures are important because they enhance national and international security by prohibiting these weapons and preventing weapons-related activities throughout the state's territory.

This explains why VERTIC has undertaken its 'NIM' project, and highlights the resources being developed to help states implement effective national measures.
