Efforts are also required to correct the public perception of IAEA as being just a nuclear watchdog agency.

The Nigerian delegation considers nuclear non proliferation and disarmament as two sides of the same coin that must be pursued with equal vigour in order to facilitate the IAEA's safeguards regime and the Agency's role as watchdog in the development of nuclear technology for peaceful purposes.

For example, if Iran s nuclear activities were to be surrounded with enough voluntarily accepted checks and controls, we could be confident of detecting at an early stage any diversion toward military purposes. Iran could develop its civil nuclear program while remaining a signatory to the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty the IAEA would be able to fulfill its role as watchdog and perhaps confidence in Iranian intentions would slowly be restored.

The media watchdog group Articulo 19 attributed more than half of attacks on journalists last year to police and public officials.

NHS watchdog NICE has advised that it should be given to people for four years, to further reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems.

Iran claims that its nuclear program is aimed solely at peaceful uses, and that it has the right to develop uranium enrichment and other technologies as a signatory of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT). But it spent 18 years deceiving inspectors from the watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency, leading some countries to argue that Iran destroyed its credibility and forfeited its rights to enrichment on its own soil.

But now NHS watchdog NICE has advised that it should be given to people for four years, to further reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems.

Musician and activist Peter Gabriel shares his very personal motivation for standing up for human rights with the watchdog group WITNESS and tells stories of citizen journalists in action.

In addition, increased citizen access to government information and civic education creates or reinforces the watchdog function of citizens, a function either foreign to or weak in many countries.

To switch animal metaphors, it is a watchdog without teeth. It can neither instruct the other regulators what to do (or not do) nor force member countries to comply with new regulations.

UNDP should continue to work collaboratively with UNIFEM, but the UNIFEM role is to be the watchdog, advocate, and innovator it has neither the scale nor the capacity to assume UNDP gender mainstreaming responsibilities.

Demands that are perceived as greedy erode legitimacy and, ultimately, effectiveness. In this context, watchdog NGOs dedicated to scoring the public interest value of what business groups ask for from the government could facilitate trust.

The International Organization of La Francophonie has set up a human rights and democracy watchdog with a web site that monitors French speaking countries' obligations under international human rights instruments by reviewing reports, communications and conclusions.

For Anna Harare and his followers, the only solution is another state agency a vast and all powerful anti corruption watchdog with the power to coerce and intimidate. Others call for a spiritual revival within Indian society.

Further strengthening of the National Child Rights Observatory Group, established in 2004, will be prioritized in 2005, ensuring that an independent, nationwide child rights watchdog mechanism is functioning and contributing to the reduction of child rights violations.

Physical protection of nuclear material and nuclear facilities and assessment of vulnerability of nuclear facilities

Nuclear non proliferation, nuclear disarmament and peaceful use of nuclear energy should be given equal treatment.

As Sherlock Holmes understood, a dog that does not bark in the nighttime usually goes unnoticed. In Europe s case, the European Union s fiscal rules are at issue, and the Commission in principle the EU s watchdog should bark loudly when they are flouted.

But the share of countries classified as not free or partly free by the democracy watchdog Freedom House has hardly changed over the same period. In the battle between networks and hierarchies, the hierarchies seem to be winning more often than not.

Nuclear weapon free zones reinforce nuclear non proliferation and contribute to achieving the objective of nuclear disarmament.

Today, non nuclear weapon States are under constant nuclear threat because of the continued development of new types of nuclear weapons and nuclear threats by the super Power with the largest nuclear weapon stockpiles.

improvements in nuclear weapons by some nuclear weapon states.

Latvia supports a reasonable balance between nuclear disarmament and nuclear non proliferation, which would reduce the global nuclear threat.

Nuclear weapon States should work towards eliminating their large nuclear stockpiles and the nuclear weapons remaining in their arsenals.

Nuclear power plants are dangerous, not to mention nuclear weapons.

Recommendations for nuclear disarmament and non proliferation of nuclear weapons .

Nuclear weapon States should abandon the policy of nuclear deterrence based on first use of nuclear weapons and should reduce the role of nuclear weapons in their national security.

However, the Agency required sufficient human and financial resources to meet the objectives set forth in the Treaty and in its Statute, whether in the areas of nuclear non proliferation, cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, nuclear disarmament, nuclear technology, nuclear safety and security or nuclear verification.

Convinced that nuclear disarmament and the complete elimination of nuclear weapons are essential to remove the danger of nuclear war,

Nuclear weapon States continued to rely on nuclear weapons in part because they had developed no alternative to nuclear deterrence.

The nuclear weapon States bear greater responsibility where nuclear disarmament is concerned because it is they who possess nuclear weapons.

The low estimate is the nuclear energy industry estimate of nuclear.

They discourage non nuclear weapon States from opting for nuclear weapons.

Convinced also that nuclear disarmament and the complete elimination of nuclear weapons are essential to remove the danger of nuclear war,

Welcoming the continuation of a moratorium on nuclear weapon test explosions or any other nuclear explosions since the recent nuclear tests,

Reiterating the responsibility of the nuclear weapon States for transparent, verifiable and irreversible reductions in nuclear weapons leading to nuclear disarmament,

Welcoming the continuation of a moratorium on nuclear weapon test explosions or any other nuclear explosions since the last nuclear tests,

These activities aimed to further enhance the capacity of Member States to protect nuclear facilities and nuclear material against nuclear terrorism.

Non nuclear weapon States demand unconditional assurances from nuclear weapon States that they will not use nuclear weapons under any circumstances.

Renunciation of the development of nuclear weapons by States without nuclear weapons is counterbalanced by access to cooperation and the commitment by the five nuclear Powers to eliminate their nuclear arsenals.

Until the goal of the complete prohibition and thorough destruction of nuclear weapons is achieved, nuclear weapon States should commit themselves not to be the first to use nuclear weapons and should undertake unconditionally not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non nuclear weapon States or nuclear weapon free zones.

All nuclear weapon states should undertake unconditionally not to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons against non nuclear weapon states or nuclear weapon free zones, and conclude international legal instrument thereupon.

Welcoming the unequivocal undertaking by the nuclear weapon States to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals leading to nuclear disarmament,
