Ready for inspection
Article Abstract:
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is the main international organisation tasked with monitoring and reporting suspected nuclear weapons programs. Countries who signed the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty conceived this body and 110 nations are IAEA members, including some who did not sign the non-proliferation treaty. The IAEA however, does not have adequate investigatory powers which make it easy for nations to easily hide any nuclear weapons build-up. A 1995 review is expected to provide more powers to IAEA.
