INFCIRCs?

Why are INFCIRCs important?

IAEA information circulars (INFCIRCs) are a vehicle to distribute critical information and address topics of broad interest to the IAEA’s Member States. The circulars are presented by a Member State on behalf of other countries. INFCIRCs foster global cooperation and communication, playing a pivotal role in enhancing nuclear security.

How can my country subscribe to an INFCIRC?

1. Your country should inform the sponsoring Member State of your country’s intent to subscribe. This must be done by your country’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations and other International Organizations in Vienna.
2. Your country must send a note verbale to the Secretariat of the IAEA stating your country’s intent to subscribe to an INFCIRC and request that an official statement be circulated as an INFCIRC document to all IAEA Member States.
