Neither State nor IAEA seeks to systematically limit TC assistance to countries the United States has designated as state sponsors of terrorism— Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria—even though under U.S. law these countries are subject to sanctions. Together, these four countries received more than $55 million in TC assistance from 1997 through 2007. In addition, TC funding has been provided to states that are not party to the Treaty on the NonProliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT)—India, Israel, and Pakistan—and neither the United States nor IAEA has sought to exclude these countries from participating in the TC program. Finally, IAEA member states are not required to complete comprehensive safeguards or additional protocol agreements with IAEA—which allow IAEA to monitor declared nuclear activities and detect clandestine nuclear programs—to be eligible for TC assistance, even though U.S. and IAEA officials have stressed the need for all countries to bring such arrangements into force as soon as possible.
