This document provides information about a talk on WMD threats and counterproliferation given by Brian Finlay of the Stimson Center. The Stimson Center is a nonprofit national security think tank focused on strengthening international peace and security institutions, building regional security, and reducing weapons of mass destruction and transnational threats. Finlay argues that transnational challenges like WMD proliferation have become so widespread that they threaten to overwhelm governments, and that innovative public-private partnerships are needed to mitigate these threats. He identifies the global south and supply chain industry as critical but untapped partners that could help through enhanced information sharing, transparency, and screening standards within supply chains.

How to Fight Networks: New Visions for National Security From the Head of Def...YPFP
On January 23, 2013, Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, delivered this presentation to YPFP in Washington, DC. Here’s the blurb for his talk:
Our experiences in Iraq and Afghanistan, growing dangers in cyberspace, and modern terrorist and criminal threats all suggest the same thing: our national security depends on the ability of disparate parts of government to come together to confront increasingly complex networked threats. The relatively straight forward days of the Cold War have yielded to a much more challenging threat environment of non-state global actors. Yet the military, intelligence community, and law enforcement agencies have not yet fully adapted to the new reality. It is time for a new national security vision. A vision predicated on building networks to defeat networks. The Department of Defense and the Defense Intelligence Agency are both in a key transition period. These two institutions—and indeed, the entire Nation—have been embroiled in conflict for more than a decade against enemies that are both resilient and adaptive. The need for “on-demand,” accurate, responsive intelligence has grown as have the technologies and methods for collection and analysis. In the foreseeable future, the pace of change will continue to accelerate. In this climate, we must reflect on past lessons while looking to emerging challenges to adapt. We must find ways to be increasingly integrated and collaborative and remain sufficiently adaptable and flexible to understand and respond to an increasing number of threats.

This bilingual English-Chinese presentation is by Mr. Sun Lihui, of the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals Minerals and Chemicals Importers and Exporters, on responsible operations and the social responsibility risks of multi-national companies.
The presentation was made at the third event of the China-Africa Forest Governance Learning Platform, held in Beijing 24-25 October 2016.
The event explored how China can help sustain Africa’s forests with a focus on the role of private sector actors and Chinese stakeholders in working with African stakeholders to promote pro-poor and sustainable investments and trade in Africa’s forests.

October 28, 2010, AQAP attempts to load
explosive devices hidden in printer cartridges
from Yemen to the USA;
Technical screening, canines, physical inspection
all fail to detect devices;
Plot disrupted by specific human intelligence
allowing companies to identify and neutralize
the shipments.
October 29th, 2010, Express Association of

conversation with Customs and Border Patrol
and Transportation Security Administration;
All agree that providing information on cargo
shipments earlier would help enhance
transparency;

An Example of Effective Cooperation
RESULT
•By January 2011, all four express firms transmitting data con shipments from
identified list of countries;
•Seven key data elements part of new information sharing system;
•Transmission time expanded from 4 hours to 24 hours;
•Express companies provide access to proprietary information and targeting systems
to help CBP/TSA resolve anomalies;
•Each company develops own IT solutions;
•To date, more than 33 million air cargo shipments analyzed;
•Nearly 3000 have been identified for additional screening.
•Key factor for success is flexibility by both public and private sectors;
•Government agrees NO TIME DEADLINES, NO PENALTIES for inaccurate or
incomplete data
•All achieved without federal register notices, no new regulations, no legislation;
•No Congressional overreaction;
•Seen in mutual interest of private companies and US Government.
