It has a bit of a ring, if you’re as dorky as a guy who runs an arms control blog.

Anyway, NPEC has had “the text”:http://www.npec-web.org/us-uae/20090115-UsUae-Revised123Agreement.pdf up for a while now, but I thought I’d point out two especially interesting features:

1. Article 12 states that the United States has the right to terminate the agreement if the UAE engages in enrichment or reprocessing or obtains ENR facilities.

2. The last paragraph of the Agreed Minute apparently makes the agreement a minimum standard for other 123 agreements with countries in the region, should the US negotiate them. Here’s the key part:

bq. the fields of cooperation, terms and conditions accorded by the United States of America to the United Arab Emirates for cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy shall be no less favorable in scope and effect than those which may be accorded, from time to time, to any other non-nuclear weapon State in the Middle East in a peaceful nuclear cooperation agreement.

Hey, the geeks shall inherit the earth…
