In his presentation, Mr. Scheland sketched the structure and mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). He focused on current problems of providing nuclear safeguards with regard to the cases of Iran, North Korea and Syria. The ensuing discussion addressed the broader political contexts of these issues and linked them to questions of regional security. Especially the Iranian nuclear program and the crisis of confidence between the Islamic Republic and the IAEA were reflected upon. Also, the employed strategies of two-track diplomacy and possible future developments were discussed in the debate.
