It is appropriate to briefly consider three methods to implement these new approaches form the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) in the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) context. First, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) could pursue new measures by interpreting its authority under INFCIRC/153 safeguards agreements, but without reopening those agreements. Second, the IAEA Board of Governors could, under its statutory authority, mandate new measures beyond those currently embodied in INFCIRC/153. Third, new measures could be adopted by negotiating a new, supplemental arrangement for verification measures without changing or reopening INFCIRC/153 safeguards agreements.
