第26回佳作imperative of big powers. The hurdles on the path of disarmament as observedby scholars are: a) Political prestige of nuclear weapons, b) Belief in potential ofnuclear weapons to enhance national security, c) Absence of belief in practicabilityof abolition of nuclear weapons, d) Absence of imminent, pervasive threat fromnuclear weapons state so as to mobilize opinion of civil society, 9& e) The belief inNPT, CTBT and other treaties, agreements to solve this problem. Hans Blix who wasUnited Nations weapons inspector believes that despite these discouraging signs, itis possible to glimpse light at the end of the tunnel by thinking about the devaluationof international commitments inherent in these positions risks undermining thecredibility and effectiveness of multilateral treaty commitments.Despite marginal success in exploring the front of evolving internationalnegotiations, IAEA alarms over new challenges 10which have radically alteredthe security landscape on the front of non-proliferation. These developments are:Emergence of a nuclear black market, the determined efforts by more countries toacquire technology to produce the fissile material usable in nuclear weapons and theclear desire of terrorists to acquire weapons of mass destruction. On the verge of2005 NPT Review Conference DG of IAEA has suggested and appealed to considerthe steps to put an gradual embargo on research in nuclear energy leading towardsnuclear disarmament.These steps are 1) Putting a five-year hold on additional facilities for uraniumenrichment and plutonium separation; 2) Speeding up existing efforts to convertthese reactors operating with highly enriched uranium - to that of low-enricheduranium; 3) Raise the bar for inspection standards by establishing“additional protocol”verifying compliance with NPT; 4) Calling on the U.N.
