Summary / Abstract (Note) | A resolution critical of Israel's nuclear program, revived after a two-year hiatus, failed to pass the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) last month. The nonbinding resolution, sponsored by a group of 18 Arab states, would have called on Israel to join the nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) as a non-nuclear-weapon state and put all of its nuclear sites under comprehensive IAEA safeguards. The measure, referred to as "Israeli Nuclear Capabilities" on the IAEA agenda, failed by a vote of 43-51 on Sept. 20, the last day of the conference. |
