CONTRIBUTING TO NUCLEAR NON-PROLIFERATION

The IAEA contributes to nuclear non-proliferation through safeguards designed to verify States’ undertakings not to use nuclear material or related items for proscribed purposes (e.g. not to manufacture nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices). The legal framework for IAEA safeguards consists of an array of international agreements under which the IAEA has responsibilities to implement these safeguards. This legal framework includes the IAEA Statute, safeguards agreements, protocols to those agreements, and subsidiary arrangements.
