Opis

Volume 118 of Terrorism: Commentary on Security Documents, International Nuclear Security contains documents that illustrate the implementation and evolution of the nuclear regulation, disarmament, and non-proliferation regimes created by various states and international bodies. Efforts to control nuclear weapons have redoubled since the events of September 11, 2001. In order to help States prevent and respond to the risk of nuclear terrorism, the International Atomic Energy Agency established a nuclear security program in 2002 and the United Nations General Assembly also adopted the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism in 2005. Both instruments focus on verification and the various other documents in this volume provide a comprehensive look at modern efforts to combat nuclear security concerns.
