“Workshop for Diplomats on Nuclear Law” conducted by the IAEA at its
headquarters in Vienna.
In her opening remarks Ms Peri-Lynne Johnson, Director of the IAEA Office of Legal Affairs, explained that the objective of the workshop was to provide an overview of the essentials of nuclear law and highlighted that such workshops are conducted periodically to give diplomats posted in Vienna the opportunity to gain further knowledge in this field.
The workshop started with a general introduction to nuclear law, followed by presentations on the international legal framework for nuclear safety, security, safeguards and civil liability for nuclear damage. Topics of interest raised by participants during the discussions included the scope of application of the Convention on Nuclear Safety, the mechanisms for notification and assistance established respectively by the Convention on Early Notification of a Nuclear Accident and the Convention on Assistance in Case of a Nuclear Accident or Radiological Emergency and the calculation of compensation under the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage, among others.
