I invite your attention to ARTICLE 103 of safeguards agreement. Even for minor non-compliance from part of India with the safeguards agreement, IAEA can report to Security Council to take military action against India. Please read the article given below.
"103. If the Board determines in accordance with Article XII.C of the Statute of the Agency that there has been any non-compliance by India with this Agreement, the Board shall call upon India to remedy such non-compliance forthwith, and shall make such reports as it deems appropriate. In the event of failure by India to take full remedial action within a reasonable time, the Board may take any other measures provided for in Article XII.C of the Statute."
“To make such reports as it deems fit” - is the UN language for saying "report for military action to security council".
This article 103 must be corrected to the effect that in case of non-compliance, IAEA can decide to stop or reduce further supply of nuclear material for a definite or indefinite term and the decision to be reviewed annually by IAEA.
Why? We know last year IAEA nearly recommended military action against Iran, It is a political body and if in future Indo US relation becomes bad, US can do this kind of things.
Saddam was once best friend of US (like India now) and finally US captured Saddam and was hanged “Live Telecast”. So relations can go sour anytime and we mush be careful.
INDIA please change article 103 to avoid risking Securit
