About this statute

This article states the Convention’s purposes: to protect nuclear material and nuclear facilities used for peaceful purposes, prevent and combat related offences worldwide, and facilitate cooperation among States Parties. This article says the Convention covers nuclear material and nuclear facilities used for peaceful purposes, with special limits for international nuclear transport, and it assigns each State Party responsibility for its own physical protection regime. Each State Party must set up and maintain a physical protection regime for nuclear material and nuclear facilities, and establish the laws, authorities, and measures needed to run it. States Parties must share contact points, cooperate on nuclear material incidents, protect confidential information, and treat listed intentional acts involving nuclear material and nuclear facilities as offences. Requests for extradition or mutual legal assistance based on certain offences cannot be refused just because the offence is political.
