Atoms for Peace: The New International Atomic Energy Agency
Bechhoefer, Bernhard G. & Stein, Eric
Abstract
On October 26, 1956 seventy states signed an international agreement described as the Statute of an International Atomic Energy Agency. This signing followed a conference of over a month in which eighty-two states participated. All of the participating states supported the text which resulted from this conference-a truly remarkable result considering that the subject of the conference was atomic energy with its far-reaching international security implications.
