Description:	The bilateral and multilateral international regulations, as well as basic principle of International Law recognize the inalienable right of States Parties to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. However, there are substantial debates about the scope of peaceful application of nuclear activities. The Non-Nuclear Weapon States Parties (NNWSP) believes that they have the right to use all forms of peaceful nuclear technology which includes uranium enrichment, reprocessing activities and indigenous nuclear-fuel making. On the other hand, Nuclear Weapons States Parties (NWSP) believe that if Non-Nuclear Weapon States Parties (NNWSP) pursue all forms of peaceful application of nuclear energy and become nuclear fuel-makers this can eventually lead to proliferation of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices. Islamic Republic of Iran has accepted verification of her enrichment uranium and reprocessing facilities but this is proving difficult because conversion time is very short. This has created many new challenges, both for the international community and for the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). However, peaceful application of nuclear energy is part of national rights of states parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) which means any action by States or the international organizations to limit such rights constitutes a violation of the fundamental principles of international law and Iran cannot accept deprivation of its legal rights in the development and use of peaceful nuclear energy including fuel cycle, and continuing research and development of enrichment process as underscored in the NPT and IAEA safeguards. Therefore, states parties have the right to use uranium enrichment technology, reprocessing and other sensitive nuclear fuel-making activities because it is part of continuing right of state parties for peaceful nuclear energy and the technical problems of IAEA Safeguards for verification and sensitive nuclear activities should not be a taboo to exercise more restrictions on inalienable right of States to use peaceful nuclear energy. Besides, during the fourth NPT Review Conference (1990), NNWSP's delegations confirmed each country's right of choices and decisions in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy which should be respected without jeopardising their respective fuel cycle policies.,Certification of Master's / Doctoral Thesis" is not available
