Mohamed Elbaradei quotes
" As you know, we never have 100 percent certainty. That's why we would like to have in Iran and everywhere else a continuous process of inspections, and we need the authority of the protocol to enable us in a country with an extensive knowledge and program to do a comprehensive job. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" Everybody has to chip in, I think, and see how we can have a functioning system of collective security where we do not continue to face the threat of countries trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction or particularly nuclear weapons. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" I firmly believe that in the long run you cannot just continue to have the privileged few relying on either nuclear weapons or the nuclear weapons umbrella and others are told, "You cannot have nuclear weapons," because again we continue to have these failures. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" I think it is fair to say that it is under a great deal of stress, and if I am asking for significant changes, it is because the world is going through significant changes. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" I think that is a very important measure in the regime. To remove HEU (highly enriched uranium) or limit very much HEU and plutonium from the fuel cycle, and if it were to be used, again, it would be under multilateral control. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" I think the NPT can survive - has survived - without them. But I think, ultimately, that the nonproliferation regime will not survive without them. The NPT is a part of the regime, and if we talk about the regime - global, universal, enduring - then it will not survive without the three. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" So, we need to delegitimize the nuclear weapon, and by de-legitimizing... meaning trying to develop a different system of security that does not depend on nuclear deterrence. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" The system needs to continue to serve their security needs. You cannot expect them to continue to participate as a part of the system if their security is not being served. And the fact that they can withdraw from the treaty... I mean, that's true, but that doesn't mean that's the end of the road. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" We continue to have nuclear weapons relied on as a weapon of choice. If that policy were to continue, we continue to have countries who are in a security bind, if you like, or perceive themselves to be in security bind to look for acquisition of nuclear weapons. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" We definitely need a reliable system of security, but a system that does not rely on nuclear weapons, and possibly more of an inclusive system that does not rely on unilateral or preemptive use of force but rooted primarily in the collective security system which we have under the UN Charter. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" We need to bite the bullet and see how we can move beyond nuclear weapons deterrence, and I think that we have not done that yet. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" Well, first of all, we now have everybody with the exception of India, Pakistan, and Israel, and I don't think these three countries are going to join by simply providing them an incentive, in terms of technology. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" Well, I think that the first thing, which is probably the easiest, is to make sure that countries that are parties of the NPT (nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty) have safeguard agreements and additional protocols enforced. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" Well, I think we need... first of all, we need the realization by member states that the system we have right now is inadequate and needs to be improved. Once you have that, you know, sinking in, that feeling that you need to change the system, then I think we can move forward. "

Mohamed Elbaradei
" Well, I think we still have to verify whatever declaration we will get and make sure that it is comprehensive and accurate. So, that would take care of the past activities."
