Abstract
The purpose of this paper is twofold: firstly, to summarize objectives and provisions of the 8 July 2005 Amendment to the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material; and, secondly, to discuss implementation of the physical protection provisions of the Amendment in terms of the kinds of institutions and organizations within a State that would be expected to have a role in ensuring the effectiveness of the State’s regime for the physical protection of the nuclear material and nuclear facilities used for peaceful purposes within the territory of the State, coupled with how those institutions and organizations could be expected to fit together to form an integrated physical protection system.
