Starting on 5 October 2020, the first webinar will provide an introduction to the IAEA, its history, programme and activities.
The webinar series on nuclear law is being implemented within the framework of the IAEA legislative assistance programme, which creates awareness among IAEA Member States of the international instruments in the nuclear field and assists them in complying with their international obligations and commitments, as well as with the drafting of corresponding national nuclear legislation. Further to the postponement of most legislative assistance activities planned and scheduled for 2020, the webinar series is intended to serve as an online alternative.
The webinar series is open to officials with a policy, legal, regulatory and/or technical background from all IAEA Member States but is expected to be particularly beneficial to officials from countries participating in the IAEA Technical Cooperation Programme that are not party to some or all of the relevant international legal instruments adopted by or under the auspices of the Agency and/or are in the process of strengthening their existing national nuclear legislative framework.
“Due to the global pandemic this year we postponed the planned IAEA legislative assistance mission to conduct a national workshop on nuclear law. This new webinar series now provides an opportunity to further our understanding of international and national nuclear law until such time we can receive the mission,” said Zdravka Tecic, Head of the Sector for Radiological and Nuclear Safety, Civil Protection Directorate at Croatia’s Ministry of the Interior. “Separately, we also look forward to discussing virtually our latest draft nuclear law with the IAEA Office of Legal Affairs”.
