In case of non-compliance of safeguards agreement by state parties, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports such cases to the ............................ .
Answer: D
The IAEA reports such cases to the United Nations Security Council.
Under Article XII.C of the IAEA Statute, when the Board of Governors finds a state in non-compliance with its safeguards agreement, it reports the non-compliance to all members and to the Security Council and General Assembly of the United Nations. The Security Council is the body that can act, as it did with Iraq, North Korea and Iran, because it alone can impose binding measures under Chapter VII of the Charter.
The General Assembly receives the report but cannot enforce anything, the Secretary-General is not the body named for action, and the Conference on Disarmament is a negotiating forum with no compliance role.
