  1. “We invite 1540 experts to attend our information exchange meetings and, with the agreement of our Member States,our regional INSSP meetings so those experts can discuss and promote the resolution. We provide those experts with the information that we have already provided or are planning to provide a State that has approached the Committee for assistance. In doing so, we reduce duplication and unnecessary effort. We look forward to continuing that close relationship in the years ahead.”

  2. “Under the plan, we draw up guidance to assist States to meet their respective international obligations, which includes the CPPNM and its Amendment, resolution 1540 (2004) and others. Next year, a new nuclear security plan 2018 -2021 will be developed and considered by the IAEA's policy- making organs for approval. The recommendations of the recent International Conference on Nuclear Security will contribute to that new plan. I would like to end by making a few points about cooperation with resolution 1540 (2004). We encourage States to share their INSSP with the cerp 1540 (2004) as we believe that doing so helps the State to demonstrate how it is meeting the obligations relating to nuclear material, as set out in the resolution, and to identify any assistance that it is receiving or may require.”

  3. “Therefore, continued collective vigilance is essential as threats - including insider threats and cybersecurity - evolve. Upon request by States and subject to available resources, the IAEA provides practical nuclear security assistance by identifying national priorities based on threat assessments and a gradual approach to implementation. Nuclear security assistance is also provided through mutually agreed individual national Integrated Nuclear Security Support Plans (INSSPs). Planned activities have to take account of technological developments to make sure that they represent the state-of-the-art response. The assistance provided through those plans is approved by the IAEA policy-making organs. The current plan runs from 2014 - 2017.”

  4. “It brought together some 2,000 participants, including more than 45 ministers from over 130 Member States. The Ministerial Declaration that was adopted welcomed the positive impact of the IAEA's increasing nuclear security efforts, inter alia, highlighting the collective commitment to improve nuclear security at the national, regional and global levels; being vigilant about the threats, having concrete measures to protect against malicious acts involving nuclear or radioactive material; and, being cognizant of the need to support the central role of the IAEA. Each State carries full responsibility for nuclear security within its borders. However, nuclear security in a State may also depend on the effectiveness of the nuclear security regime in other States.”

  5. “In order to specifically address those issues, the IAEA, in consultation with States, has developed a top tier nuclear security fundamentals document containing the objective and essential elements of a State's nuclear security regime. That and three corresponding guidance documents provide recommended requirements for the physical protection of nuclear material and facilities, physical protection of other radioactive material and associated facilities, and nuclear and other radioactive material out of regulatory control. In addition to those recommended requirements, the IAEA will continue to develop many implementing guides to support Member States. Last week, the IAEA held the International Conference on Nuclear Security, where there were extensive discussions that are relevant to today's debate.”

  6. “Reports to the IAEA's Incident and Trafficking Database indicate continued reports ofnuclear material, such as highly enriched uranium and other radioactive material, including sealed sources out of regulatory control - most notably lost or stolen. Such incidents continue to occur and States must remain vigilant. The fact that criminals have obtained high-enriched uranium, albeit far less than the amount required to make a nuclear weapon, indicates that there is interest in such material. Additionally, the potential for missing radioactive sources being used in a radiation dispersal device cannot be ruled out.”

  7. “The IAEA further facilitates initiatives in nuclear security and in organizing information exchange meetings with other organizations. It strengthens the international cooperation and coordination of assistance in a way that underpins the use of nuclear energy and applications. It also assists in adherence to, and the implementation of, nuclear security related international instruments. A key nuclear security instrument is the Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM), which finally entered into force in May, 11 years after it was adopted. In that regard, all countries are encouraged to adhere to the Convention and its Amendment.”

  8. “Mr. Adnan: At the outset, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) welcomes the opportunity to address the Council at this important meeting. The IAEA's mission is Atoms for Peace and Development, and nuclear security at the IAEA addressed activities by non-State actors. The IAEA contributes to global efforts to achieve effective nuclear security in States by establishing current, comprehensive and complete global nuclear security guidance. It supports implementation of that guidance through peer reviews and advisory services, and assists in the form of capacity-building, including education and training. It leads and enhances international cooperation in nuclear security, in response to IAEA policy-making organ's directions.”
