Working Paper 20

• (Page 1, para 1) …emphasizes once more that promoting international cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy for the realization of “the inalienable right of all the parties to the Treaty to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with articles I and II of the Treaty”, as stipulated in its article IV, constitutes one of the fundamental objectives of the Treaty. The Group strongly calls upon all States parties to the Treaty to fully respect this inalienable right [to peaceful nuclear energy] and underscores that nothing in the Treaty shall be interpreted as affecting this right.
• (Page 1, para 3) …is of the firm belief that the full, effective and nondiscriminatory implementation of article IV of the Treaty plays a crucial role in achieving the object and purpose of the Treaty. …any measure aimed at hampering, fully or partly, the fullest exercise of these inalienable rights, would seriously jeopardize the delicate balance between rights and obligations of States parties in contravention of the Treaty’s object and purpose…
• (Page 2, para 5) …underlines that the activities of IAEA in the field of technical cooperation, nuclear power and non-power applications…as well as bilateral and other multilateral cooperation, contribute to achieving the objectives set forth in article IV of the Treaty.
• (Page 3, para 9) The Group also stresses that any decision on proposals regarding multilateral approaches to the nuclear fuel cycle shall be made by consensus taking into account the interests of all member States, with the participation of all IAEA member States, and any proposal from IAEA must be consistent with its statute, without prejudice to the inalienable right of States parties to the Treaty, if they so decide, to develop a full national fuel cycle, in accordance with article IV of the Treaty.
• (Page 3, para 10) …underlines that “all the parties to the Treaty undertake to facilitate, and have the right to participate in, the fullest possible exchange of equipment, materials and scientific and technological information for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy” (art. IV, para. 2). In this regard, the Group stresses particularly the obligation of developed countries to promote the legitimate need of the developing countries to nuclear energy, by fully respecting this right with a view to achieving the widest benefits and applying pertinent elements of sustainable development in their activities.
• (Page 3, para 12) The elimination of constraints inconsistent with the requirements of the Treaty would ensure that article IV of the Treaty is fully implemented with regard to the facilitation of transfer of nuclear material, equipment and technological information for peaceful purposes among the States parties.
• (Page 3, para 13) The Group firmly believes that fostering the development of the peaceful uses of nuclear energy by providing a framework of confidence and cooperation within which those uses can take place, is one of the fundamental objectives of the Treaty.
• (Page 5, para 23) …article III, while providing for the undertaking by each non-nuclear-weapon State to conclude safeguards agreements with IAEA, is equally explicit in articulating that the implementation of such safeguards shall be “in a manner designed to comply with article IV of this Treaty, and to avoid hampering the economic or technological development of the parties or international cooperation in the field of peaceful nuclear activities, including the international exchange of nuclear material and equipment for the processing, use or production of nuclear material for peaceful purposes”.

Working Paper 21

• (Page 2, para 4) …calls upon all States not party to the Treaty to accede, without any further delay and any preconditions and as non-nuclear-weapon States, to the Treaty and place all their nuclear facilities under IAEA fullscope safeguards.

First Preparatory Committee for the 2020 Review Conference

Working Paper 22

• (Page 3, para 14) …calls for the 2020 Review Conference to establish a standing committee to monitor and verify the nuclear disarmament steps undertaken unilaterally or through bilateral agreements by the nuclearweapon States.
