Application of IAEA safeguards in the Middle East – Report by Director-General – Corrigendum

International Atomic Energy Agency

BOARD OF GOVERNORS

GENERAL CONFERENCE

Item 21 of the Conference's provisional agenda (GC(44)/1)

APPLICATION OF IAEA SAFEGUARDS IN THE MIDDLE EAST

Report by the Director General to the Board of Governors and to the General Conference

Corrigendum

On page 8 of Annex 2 (in the letter from the Permanent Mission of the Syrian Arab Republic),

replace the third paragraph with the following:

"Defining the boundaries of the Middle East region is a very complicated matter which depends on the aim with which such a definition is sought.  Each State would certainly wish that its neighbouring States are also within NWFZ. Such a definition would be much easier if States of the region were equal in terms of their commitments under international non-proliferation systems. A geographical delineation of a nuclear weapon free zone would undoubtedly be affected by the convergence or divergence of interests of States within the region. The issue should therefore be considered by all concerned States."
