Some agreements and resolutions relate to more than one type of weapon. In particular, United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540 (UNSCR 1540) outlines national implementation measures states should take with regard to nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) weapons, related materials and their means of delivery. It also established the '1540 Committee' to report to the Security Council on progress in implementation of the resolution. UNSCR 1673 extends the mandate of the 1540 Committee for two years and states that the committee should intensify its efforts to promote full implementation, including through dialogue with states and through exploring experiences and lessons learned, as well as programmes that might facilitate implementation, with regional and sub-regional organizations. It also states that the committee should submit its next report to the Security Council no later than 28 April 2008.
