Question

Consider the following statements:
1. The Nuclear Security Summits are periodically held under the aegis of the United Nations.
2. The International Panel on Fissile Materials is an organ of International Atomic Energy Agency.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

Statement 1 is incorrect. The Nuclear Security Summits (NSS) were not held under the aegis of the United Nations. They were a series of high-level meetings initiated by the United States to discuss global efforts to prevent nuclear terrorism, with the first summit held in 2010. They were independent initiatives, though often involved heads of state and government from UN member states. Statement 2 is also incorrect. The International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM) is an independent group of experts from both nuclear-weapon and non-nuclear-weapon states. It is not an organ of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The IPFM works to develop technical and policy initiatives to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and to reduce the dangers posed by nuclear weapons and fissile materials.
