- The IAEA is headquartered in Vienna and promotes the safe, secure and peaceful use of nuclear technology.
- Nuclear security (protection against theft, sabotage and unauthorised access) is distinct from nuclear safety (prevention of accidents).
મેઇન્સ
GS-II (International Relations): The IAEA's endorsement of Pakistan's nuclear security regime shows how multilateral bodies shape perceptions of nuclear-armed states. India must weigh the implications for South Asian strategic stability, continue to stress safeguards and non-proliferation norms, and engage through the IAEA and nuclear security forums while keeping its own credible-minimum-deterrence posture and transparent practices.
