THE LEGAL INTERPLAY BETWEEN TRADE LAW AND NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

Аннотация

The transfer of nuclear technology occupies a unique position at the intersection of international trade law, nuclear non-proliferation, and global energy governance. Unlike most traded goods and services, nuclear technology is simultaneously a driver of economic development and a subject of intense security regulation. Its dual-use nature—capable of serving both peaceful and military purposes—means that the legal regimes governing its exchange are characterised by a delicate balance between the promotion of legitimate commerce and the prevention of proliferation.
