Nuclear non proliferation strategy and interstate organizations: the IAEA powerlessness in the Iranian example?

Description

In this study, the author questions the efficiency of the IAEA in its mission of control, prevention and mediation, and wanders whether it will succeed in preventing Iran to acquire nuclear technology. He gives a brief description of the demographic and economic situation of Iran, of its security issues. After a comparison of Iraq and Iran, he describes means and tools which are available to the IAEA, mainly the NPT (sanctions, operation, limitations and opportunities), and outlines the fact that acquiring the nuclear weapon is nowhere forbidden and that the USA are not a good example as far as nuclear weapons are concerned. Then, he tries to show the way to a pacific solution: even if multipolarity is more difficult to manage than a hyper-power status for the United States, they would be unable to sustain a new conflict; the IAEA is more prudent after the Iraqi failure and did not receive its mandate from the USA
