Abstract: It is worthy of note that the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes has been recognized in many regional treaties, bilateral and multilateral conventions, as well as, basic principle of international law, namely, right to development and right of self-determination. In recent years, ambiguity determining the scope of peaceful application of nuclear energy technology has been posed serious challenges to the international community. The Non-Nuclear Weapon States (NNWS) believe international conventions recognizes all forms of peaceful use of nuclear energy, while Nuclear Weapon States (NWS) discuss this inalienable right of State Parties to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes cannot include enrichment uranium, reprocessing and other sensitive nuclear fuel making activities.
Keywords: nuclear energy, peaceful application, international law, NPT Treaty.
