Author

Abstract

On 18 September 2004, the IAEA Board of Governors adopted a resolution on "The Implementation of the NPT Safeguard Agreements in I.R. of Iran". This article examines analytically the resolution as a practice of the IAEA in light of public international law. It concluded that this practice of the Board is contradicted with well-established principles of international law.
