IAEA safeguards and the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons
IAEA safeguards responsibilities stem from specific statutory provisions. Different types of agreements are concluded by the Agency with Member States for safeguards application: project agreements, safeguards transfer agreements, unilateral submission agreements. States party to the Non-Proliferation Treaty are required to enter into safeguards agreements with the Agency. The principal objective of NPT is horizontal non-proliferation as opposed to vertical non- proliferation. The background to NPT, the basic undertakings provided for therein and their scope of application are described. An analytical study is made of the structure and content of safeguards agreements connected with NPT. Annexes giving the status of safeguards agreements, whether under NPT or not, and of ratification or accession of NPT, and the parties to the Tlatelolco Treaty are also included. (auth)
