Weekly RevCon Update: NPT Review Conference 2010: Suggested Language for Final Document
ISIS proposes the following language for a final document of the 2010 NPT Review Conference which would address four key issue areas:
- a strengthened safeguards and compliance system,
- acknowledging the role that illicit trade plays in nuclear proliferation while improving existing means to detect and prevent such trade,
- the need to prevent summary withdrawal from the Treaty under Article X, in particular in cases where a state has recently been found in noncompliance with its IAEA safeguards or NPT obligations,
- and the importance of a verifiable fissile material cut-off treaty.
