In a study commissioned jointly by the Harvard Belfer Center and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Carnegie's Pierre Goldschmidt, formerly Deputy Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), presents a multi-stage process that the international community should follow to strengthen the capacity of the IAEA to resolve in a timely manner cases of non-compliance. Drawing upon the cases of North Korea and Iran, Dr. Goldschmidt proposes a generic UN Security Council Resolution and a Model Temporary Complementary Protocol which he argues are necessary to help address the current limitations of the IAEA's verification authority when a non-compliant state does not fully and proactively cooperate with the Agency.

    Demystifying the Nuclear Threshold

    The nuclear weapons threshold is increasingly important for proliferation strategy and policy. Policymakers should better understand the implications of the threshold phenomenon in the current international security environment and plausible strategies to deal with the growing challenge that it presents.
