2 Int l Legal Frameworks Safety Security Safeguards Liability

3 Defintion of nuclear security Nuclear security focuses on the prevention of, detection of and response to, criminal or intentional unauthorised acts involving or directed at nuclear material, other radioactive material, associated facilities or associated activities. Nuclear Security Fundamentals NSS No. 20 (2012)

4 Some Nuclear Security Roles and Responsibilities Responsibility for nuclear security within a State rests entirely with that State.. it is not a matter of indifference to other States whether and to what extent that responsibility is fulfilled Prime responsibility of licensee

5 IAEA s Nuclear Security Mandate Policymaking Organs Statute Int l Instruments Board of Governors General Conference eg. Nuclear Security Plans, Fundamentals, Recommendations (INFCIRC/225)..of the IAEA Objectives Functions Functions Recognised Role eg. CPPNM Amendment eg. ICSANT Depositary eg. CPPNM Amendment Party eg. PSAs No explicit reference to nuclear security in the Statute. Mandate and activities inherent in the mandate to contribute to peace, health & prosperity throughout the world, as derived from Art. II & confirmed by the policymaking organs

6 IAEA s acknowledged central & leading roles Strengthening the int l framework Facilitating & coordinating int l coop. Supporting States in fulfilling their responsibilities incld. info. exchange meetings among various int l institutions & initiatives with nuclear security mandates (17 th meeting, 2017) Nuclear Security

7 IAEA activities: assistance & cooperation Facilitating adherence & implementation: International legal instruments Developing: Technical guidance Nuclear Security Series (2006) MSs development (with relevant IGOs), MSs comments (120 days) NSGC (2012): Relevant IGOs/ NGOs may be invited to attend meetings as observers Carrying out on request: Peer reviews & advisory services eg. IPPAS, INSServ Concluding: National support plans Integrated Nuclear Security Support Plans Education & training Major public events Risk reduction

8 Nuclear Security Evolution The Cold War & post Cold War dynamics: Changing actors, different motives and evolving challenges and threat Concerns re. security of NWs, NFs, RM unaccounted for & unsecured, illicit trafficking Evolving nuclear terrorist threat Threat to int l peace & security Focus beyond physical protection eg. nuclear forensics, cyber-security 1970s s Post 9/11 terrorist attacks Focus on physical protection eg. CPPNM & INFCIRC/225 Rise in terrorism, hijackings, nuclear commerce First comprehensive IAEA programme to combat nuclear terrorism New/amendment of int l legal instruments eg. CPPNM Amendment Multiple initiatives eg. GICNT, GTRI

9 Int l legal framework for nuclear security

10 Int l legal framework for nuclear security Legally Binding Legally Non-binding IAEA UN IMO ICAO IAEA CPPNM GA UNSC IMO - SUA Conv. & Protocols ICAO -Beijing SUA Convention INFCIRC/225/ Rev.5 Terrorist Bombings Conv. UNSCR 1373 (2001) Code of Conduct - rad. sources CPPNM Amend. (2003) Nuclear Terrorism Conv. UNSCR 1540 (2004) Import/export Guidance (2004) (2011) Disused Rad. Sources Guidance (2017)

11 Int l Legal Frameworks Comparison Role of the IAEA IAEA mandatory reviews IAEA binding technical standards Review by others such as States Reporting on national impl. Compliance & enforcement mechanisms Nuclear Security Nuclear Safety Significant but advisory, on request Non mandatory (but de facto) Rad. sources code [Art 16 ACPPNM 2021 conf.] Art. 14 ACPPNM UNSCR 1540 (2001) Non binding (but quasi) No CNS/ JC peer review Rad. sources code Safeguards/ nonproliferation watchdog (Statute & NPT) Mandatory SGs inspections Non binding guidance eg. NPT Review Conf. (may also touch on nuclear security) Yes

12 Observations and future perspectives Int l framework significantly strengthened post 9/11 Multiplicity of int l instruments (binding/ non binding) and initiatives incld. the high level Nuclear Security Summit process ( (end)) Limited mandatory treaty based peer reviews and reporting on national implementation [BUT.] IAEA s first (physical protection) activities in the 70s. Since the mid 00s, the IAEA has widely accepted and recognised central roles in nuclear security albeit essentially of an advisory nature (as in nuclear safety) Non binding security guidance and non mandatory IAEA peer reviews [BUT.]

13 Observations and future perspectives contd. The nuclear terrorist threat is a recognised real threat to int l peace and security In the absence of a nuclear security watershed event, positive and progressive developments continue, driven by this evolving threat To date, the result inclds. increasing levels of int l coop and assistance and, strengthened national nuclear security regimes etc Still, a critical review continues to reveal fundamental constraints and limitations incld. issues of State sovereignty and national security and, national sensitivities

14 Observations and future perspectives contd. Continued calls in different fora for a more robust int l framework The 2021 review conference of the amended CPPNM may provide a limited opportunity for re evaluation Even so, in matters of nuclear security there continues to remain a clear line that many states are not yet willing and able to cross: the role of the IAEA, standards, peer reviews etc What is needed to change the mindset, if that is what is indeed required?
