.- The Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today urged to review and strengthen the international nuclear security in response to the criticism they have received from multilateral agencies for his role in the crisis of the Japanese central Fukushima Daiichi . "The situation in Japan has led to requests to re-evaluate the framework of international nuclear emergency response and nuclear security regime.
Support these calls," he said in a statement the UN chief. In his view, although the States retain the primary responsibility for ensuring the safety of nuclear installations, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) "plays a central role in the further development and universal application of the highest possible standards of security.
" Ban expressed his interest in reviewing the performance of multilateral agencies after assessing the situation in Japan at a meeting via teleconference with the director general of the IAEA, Yukiya Amano and Programme Manager UN Development Programme (UNDP), Helen Clark . Also participating in the meeting the executive secretary of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Organization (CTBTO), Tibor Tóth, the chief of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), Michel Jarraud, and representatives of other UN agencies.
The UN secretary general said in the statement issued today that the "close cooperation" between international agencies and efforts to contain the crisis have played an "important role in increasing the Japanese Government's ability to provide vital information to public ". In this line, said the agencies responsible for coordinating with the authorities of each country have taken "extraordinary measures to share information," in apparent response to the harsh criticism he has received the information policy of the IAEA since the beginning of the crisis in central Fukushima.
Still, he noted that the current institutional arrangements, such as emergency management plan of radioactivity, which coordinates the IAEA, should be "reviewed and reinforced." "I also encourage countries to analyze the lessons learned (in the Japanese crisis) and to adopt appropriate measures" to strengthen nuclear security systems and ensure that they apply the highest standards to ensure the protection of health, food and environment.
For the secretary general of the UN, the first steps to review the international framework can be given at the fifth revision of the International Convention on Nuclear Safety to be held next April. He noted that another appropriate forum for this matter will be high-level meeting on security and innovative uses of nuclear energy to be held on April 19 in Kiev, the Ukrainian capital.
Ban said that international organizations involved in nuclear stand firm with the Japanese people to overcome the disaster suffered by his country.
