Treaty implementation applied to conventions on nuclear safety

Abstract

Given that safety is the number one priority for the nuclear industry, it would seem normal that procedures exist to ensure the effective implementation1 of the provisions of the conventions on nuclear safety,2 as already exist for numerous international treaties.3 Unfortunately, these procedures are either weak or even nonexistent. Therefore, consideration must be given to whether this weakness represents a genuine deficiency in ensuring the main objective of these conventions, which is to achieve a high level of nuclear safety worldwide.4 But, before one can even address that issue, a prior question must be answered: does the specific nature of the international legal framework on nuclear safety automatically result in a lack of non-compliance procedures in international conventions on the subject? If so, the lack of procedures is justified, despite the drawbacks.
