International Atomic Energy Agency General Conference (Unofficial electronic version)	GC(44)/1/Add.1 23 August 2000 GENERAL Distr. Original: ENGLISH
Forty-fourth regular session

1. On 18 August 2000, the Director General received a request, submitted by Australia, for the inclusion of an item entitled "Outcomes of the NPT Review Conference relevant to the activities of the IAEA" in the agenda for the 44th regular session of the General Conference.

2. Pursuant to the Rules of Procedure of the General Conference, this item is hereby included as a supplementary item and an explanatory memorandum is set out overleaf.

3. It is suggested that this item follow item 13 of the provisional agenda and be discussed first in the Committee of the Whole.

On 19 May 2000, the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) adopted by consensus a Final Document that includes a review of the operation of the Treaty. Given the significance that the NPT has for the 126 Member States of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) that are also Parties to the Treaty, and given that a significant proportion of the work of the Agency is related to its implementation, it is appropriate that the General Conference, in this its first session since the NPT Review Conference, take note of the many elements of that Final Document that directly concern IAEA activities. This would not preclude the taking of action on particular recommendations under programme-specific agenda items.

The inclusion of a supplementary item on "Outcomes of the NPT Review Conference relevant to the activities of the IAEA" in the provisional agenda of the General Conference is hereby requested.
