“This event is an opportunity to be reminded of where we are — we don’t stop for a single minute, and when it comes to cancer we can’t stop,” says @rafaelmgrossi, emphasizing the IAEA has been extremely active in supporting its Member States during the pandemic. #WorldCancerDay
“#Radiotherapy has been an optimal treatment option during the #COVID19 pandemic for cancer patients b/c it doesn't compete for in-demand hospital resources such as intensive care unit beds & is amenable to treatments w/ shorter regimens of radiation.” — @IAEANA's May Abdel-Wahab
So what's the deal with competing safeguards resolutions at #IAEAGC? Late last week, Russia presented text almost identical to that of the EU who traditionally table the safeguards resolution, with two key differences. (thread)
RUS again takes aim at the state level concept/approach, so its draft requests #IAEA DG to submit another report on the SLC for the Board's review & action. In the meantime, IAEA should suspend SLA implementation for "other states."
Presumably, "other states" means states for which #IAEA hasn't implemented SLAs yet, otherwise Para 31 is completely contradictory to Para 30.
