Implementation of the NPT Safeguards Agreement in the Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya
Sept. 24, 2008

On September 16, 2008, Secretary Condoleezza Rice met with the employees of the State Department's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. The Secretary expressed her appreciation for all of the hard work that Bureau employees have performed on the historic dismantlement of Libya's WMD program and on other important nonproliferation and international security issues. In particular, she highlighted the Bureau's critical role in the effort to denuclearize Iran and North Korea, efforts to stop WMD terrorism, and efforts to conclude the India Civil Nuclear Cooperation Agreement.

The IAEA also plays a critical role in countering proliferation threats, especially through its vigorous investigations into suspicious nuclear activity. The most prominent example is, of course, Iran. One key means to enhance and solidify the IAEA's capabilities in this area would be universal adoption of the Additional Protocol. Admittedly, the Additional Protocol levies further requirements on the IAEA, but far more important are the tools it gives the Agency to uncover illicit nuclear activity. We have made progress over the past several years - 60 percent of IAEA member states now have an Additional Protocol in force. But that is not enough.
