Geek Check – Libya Edition

You got excited by IAEA DG ElBaradei’s “announcement earlier this month”:http://www.iaea.org/NewsCenter/Statements/2008/ebsp2008n005.html that he will be issuing another report about Libya. Or you blogged about it.

ElBaradei told the IAEA BoG that

bq. Libya has recently provided additional information about the timeline of some of its past undeclared activities, which has helped the Agency gain a full picture of Libya´s past and present nuclear programme and will enable the Agency to resume verification in Libya on a routine basis.

Should be interesting. I wonder if it’s more Khan network stuff or what.

I wrote “these two”:http://www.armscontrol.org/act/2004_07-08/IAEAandLibya.asp “articles”:http://www.armscontrol.org/act/2004_10/Libya.asp back in the day about ElBaradei’s previous reports. The reports themselves can be found “here.”:http://www.armscontrol.org/country/libya/#key

ElBaradei’s full statement is below:

Following Libya´s disclosure of its undeclared nuclear activities in December 2003, the Agency has continued its efforts to verify the correctness and completeness of Libya´s declarations about its nuclear programme, including past undeclared activities.

Since my last report on 30 August 2004, Libya has continued to be transparent and to provide the Agency unrestricted access, beyond what is required under its comprehensive safeguards agreement and the Additional Protocol, to those locations, information and individuals deemed necessary by the Agency. Libya has recently provided additional information about the timeline of some of its past undeclared activities, which has helped the Agency gain a full picture of Libya´s past and present nuclear programme and will enable the Agency to resume verification in Libya on a routine basis. A detailed report on safeguards implementation in Libya will be submitted to the Board.
