IAEA Member States Extend Existing Resolutions, Source Tells TASS
A source cited by Russia's TASS news agency said the IAEA General Conference avoided difficult consensus discussions by extending prior technical resolutions rather than adopting new ones.
A source speaking to the Russian news agency TASS said member states at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference avoided engaging in difficult discussions that would require consensus among delegations.
According to the source, rather than negotiating and adopting new technical resolutions, the General Conference opted to extend resolutions that were already in place.
TASS did not identify the source by name or affiliation in the excerpt reviewed, and the specific resolutions or agenda items referenced were not detailed.
The IAEA General Conference, held annually, brings together representatives of the agency's member states to review reports and vote on resolutions covering nuclear safety, safeguards, and technical cooperation. Reaching consensus on contentious items has at times proven difficult given differing positions among member states.
TASS did not provide further details on which specific resolutions were extended or which topics were deemed too contentious for new discussion. This report is based solely on the excerpt published by TASS, and further details could not be independently verified at this time.
