Keywords:
IAEA Nuclear security, Diplomacy, SustainabilityAbstract
The increasing threat and proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and materials across national and international boundaries have combined to pose severe threat to the stability of the international system. In this respect, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has through its robust activities helped to enthrone the virtues of sustainable Nuclear security in our fast, but ever-changing world. This study concluded the IAEA, regardless of its numerous short comings, have proved to be an all important and quintessential instrument for strengthening sustainable Nuclear security, International Diplomacy, peace and security in the International system. Some reasonable but, indeed very practicable solutions as to how the agency could help mitigate the threat and challenges of Nuclear security in the face of the looming dangers from non-State actors in the International system such as the abolition of Nuclear Weapons by Nuclear States and national governments to the resolution of political conflict without the use of force was recommended.
