The findings of a two-year research project on the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) will be presented by author and nuclear governance expert Trevor Findlay at Chatham House on June 14, 2012 at 6 p.m. He will be introduced by Patricia Lewis, Director of International Security at Chatham House.
Unleashing the Nuclear Watchdog: Strengthening and Reform of the IAEA is a comprehensive study of the IAEA conducted by The Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) and the Canadian Centre for Treaty Compliance (CCTC). The report by Professor Findlay, a senior fellow at CIGI, analyses all aspects of the Agency’s mandate and operations ― from major programs on safeguards, safety, security and the peaceful uses of nuclear energy to governance, management and finance. It makes multiple recommendations, both strategic and programmatic, for strengthening and reform of the Agency.
