The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards system fulfills a vital role underpinning the NPT, reinforcing commitments to the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and providing confidence that nuclear energy is used for exclusively peaceful purposes. Effective safeguards also are essential for achieving a nuclear-weapon-free world. This paper explores how the IAEA safeguards system was created, its accomplishments and challenges, issues remaining in flux, and possible future directions Notes "May 2020"--Cover Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 44-45) Notes Online resource; title from PDF cover page (NTL, viewed July 31, 2020) Subject International Atomic Energy Agency -- Rules and practice SUBJECT International Atomic Energy Agency fast (OCoLC)fst00532636 Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (1968 June 12) http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80062951 Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (1968 June 12) fast (OCoLC)fst01356114 Subject Nuclear nonproliferation -- Security measures Nuclear arms control -- Verification.
