“One year on, we, the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI)-endorsing States listed below, affirm our commitment to the continued implementation of all relevant obligations enumerated in the reinstated UNSCRs. We further recall that the 2003 Statement of Interdiction Principles (2003), which all PSI participants have endorsed, affirms our adherence to all relevant international law and frameworks, including the UNSCRs.

“We further commit, consistent with our UNSCR obligations, to continue to take measures – consistent with relevant domestic and international authorities and related commitments – to prevent the supply, sale, or transfer to Iran of items, materials, equipment, goods, and technology that could contribute to proliferation-sensitive nuclear activities or the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems, as well as to uphold the restrictions on the supply, sale, or transfer of arms and related materiel to or from Iran.
