What is the GICNT “Statement of Principles”?
The Statement of Principles (SOP) is a set of broad nuclear security goals related to the full spectrum of nuclear terrorism deterrence, prevention, detection, and response objectives. The eight principles within the SOP aim to develop partnership capacity to combat nuclear terrorism on a determined and systematic basis, consistent with national legal authorities and obligations as well as relevant international legal frameworks such as the Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism, the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material, and United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1373 and 1540.
