COMPREHENSIVE NUCLEAR-TEST-BAN
T R E A T Y
PREAMBLE
The States Parties to this Treaty (hereinafter referred to as “the States Parties“),
Welcoming the international agreements and other positive measures of recent years in the field of nuclear disarmament, including reductions in arsenals of nuclear weapons, as well as in the field of the prevention of nuclear proliferation in all its aspects,
Underlining the importance of the full and prompt implementation of such agreements and measures,
Convinced that the present international situation provides an opportunity to take further effective measures towards nuclear disarmament and against the proliferation of nuclear weapons in all its aspects, and declaring their intention to take such measures,
Stressing therefore the need for continued systematic and progressive efforts to reduce nuclear weapons globally, with the ultimate goal of eliminating those weapons, and of general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control,
Recognizing that the cessation of all nuclear weapon test explosions and all other nuclear explosions, by constraining the development and qualitative improvement of nuclear weapons and ending the development of advanced new types of nuclear weapons, constitutes an effective measure of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation in all its aspects,
Further recognizing that an end to all such nuclear explosions will thus constitute a meaningful step in the realization of a systematic process to achieve nuclear disarmament,
Convinced that the most effective way to achieve an end to nuclear testing is through the conclusion of a universal and internationally and effectively verifiable comprehensive nuclear test-ban treaty, which has long been one of the highest priority objectives of the international community in the field of disarmament and non-proliferation,
Noting the aspirations expressed by the Parties to the 1963 Treaty Banning Nuclear Weapon Tests in the Atmosphere, in Outer Space and Under Water to seek to achieve the discontinuance of all test explosions of nuclear weapons for all time,
Noting also the views expressed that this Treaty could contribute to the protection of the environment,
Affirming the purpose of attracting the adherence of all States to this Treaty and its objective to contribute effectively to the prevention of the proliferation of nuclear weapons in all its aspects, to the process of nuclear disarmament and therefore to the enhancement of international peace and security,
Have agreed as follows:
ARTICLE I
BASIC OBLIGATIONS

Such a reduction shall not exceed 50 per cent of the annual assessed financial contribution of a State Party, but may be spread over successive years. A State Party may share such a reduction with another State Party by agreement or arrangement between themselves and with the concurrence of the Executive Council. The agreements or arrangements referred to in this paragraph shall be approved in accordance with Article II, paragraphs 26 (h) and 38 (i).

Such arrangements shall not cause the number of operational facilities of the International Monitoring System to exceed the number specified for the relevant network; shall meet as far as possible the technical and operational requirements specified in the operational manual for the relevant network; and shall be conducted within the budget of the Organization. The Director-General shall furthermore take steps to rectify the situation and make proposals for its permanent resolution. The Director-General shall notify all States Parties of any decision taken pursuant to this paragraph.
Cooperating National Facilities
27. States Parties may also separately establish cooperative arrangements with the Organization, in order to make available to the International Data Centre supplementary data from national monitoring stations that are not formally part of the International Monitoring System.
28. Such cooperative arrangements may be established as follows:
(a) Upon request by a State Party, and at the expense of that State, the Technical Secretariat shall take the steps required to certify that a given monitoring facility meets the technical and operational requirements specified in the relevant operational manuals for an International Monitoring System facility, and make arrangements for the authentication of its data. Subject to the agreement of the Executive Council, the Technical Secretariat shall then formally designate such a facility as a cooperating national facility. The Technical Secretariat shall take the steps required to revalidate its certification as appropriate;
(b) The Technical Secretariat shall maintain a current list of cooperating national facilities and shall distribute it to all States Parties; and
(c) The International Data Centre shall call upon data from cooperating national facilities, if so requested by a State Party, for the purposes of facilitating consultation and clarification and the consideration of on-site inspection requests, data transmission costs being borne by that State Party.
The conditions under which supplementary data from such facilities are made available, and under which the International Data Centre may request further or expedited reporting, or clarifications, shall be elaborated in the operational manual for the respective monitoring network.
C. CONSULTATION AND CLARIFICATION

33. If the requesting State Party considers the clarification obtained under paragraph 32 (d) to be unsatisfactory, it shall have the right to request a meeting of the Executive Council in which States Parties involved that are not members of the Executive Council shall be entitled to take part. At such a meeting, the Executive Council shall consider the matter and may recommend any measure in accordance with Article V.

57. In accordance with the provisions of this Treaty and the Protocol, the inspected State Party shall have:
(a) The right and the obligation to make every reasonable effort to demonstrate its compliance with this Treaty and, to this end, to enable the inspection team to fulfil its mandate;
(b) The right to take measures it deems necessary to protect national security interests and to prevent disclosure of confidential information not related to the purpose of the inspection;

9. Stroške dejavnosti Organizacije pokrivajo države pogodbenice letno v skladu z lestvico deležev financiranja Združenih narodov, prilagojenih tako, da se upoštevajo razlike v članstvu med Združenimi narodi in Organizacijo.
10. Finančni prispevki držav pogodbenic Pripravljalni komisiji se na ustrezen način odštejejo od njihovih prispevkov v redni proračun.
11. Članica Organizacije, ki zamuja s plačilom svojega prispevka Organizaciji, nima pravice do glasovanja v Organizaciji, če vsota zamujenih prispevkov dosega ali presega prispevke za zadnji dve polni leti. Konferenca držav pogodbenic lahko kljub temu dovoli glasovanje taki članici, če sprejme utemeljitev, da je zamuda pri plačilu nastala iz razlogov, na katere članica nima vpliva.

21. Vsaka država pogodbenica ima en glas.
22. Konferenca sprejema odločitve o postopkovnih zadevah z večino oddanih glasov navzočih članic. Odločitve o vsebinskih zadevah se v čim večji meri sprejemajo s konsenzom. Če ob sprejemanju odločitve o določenem problemu konsenz ni mogoč, predsednik Konference odloži vsakršno glasovanje za 24 ur in v tem času poskuša olajšati dosego konsenza ter pred koncem odloga poroča Konferenci. Če po 24 urah konsenz ni mogoč, odloči Konferenca z dvetretjinsko večino oddanih glasov navzočih članic, če ni v pogodbi drugače določeno.

Taka ureditev ne sme imeti za posledico, da število delujočih objektov in naprav Mednarodnega opazovalnega sistema preseže število, določeno za posamezno omrežje; mora čim bolj ustrezati tehničnim in obratovalnim zahtevam, navedenim v priročnikih za delovanje omrežja, in poteka v okviru proračuna Organizacije. Generalni direktor sprejme tudi ukrepe za popravo stanja in predlaga njegovo trajno razrešitev. Generalni direktor uradno obvesti vse države pogodbenice o vsaki odločitvi, sprejeti na podlagi tega odstavka.
Sodelujoči objekti in naprave v državi
27. Države pogodbenice lahko ločeno sklenejo dogovore o sodelovanju z Organizacijo, da bi Mednarodnemu podatkovnemu središču dale na voljo dodatne podatke iz opazovalnih postaj v državi, ki formalno niso del Mednarodenga opazovalnega sistema.
28. Take dogovore o sodelovanju je mogoče skleniti takole:
(a) Na zaprosilo države pogodbenice in na njene stroške Tehnični sekretariat sprejme potrebne ukrepe, s katerimi potrdi, ali določeni opazovalni objekt ali naprava ustreza tehničnim in obratovalnim zahtevam, navedenim v ustreznih priročnikih za delovanje objekta ali naprave Mednarodnega opazovalnega sistema, in uredi vse potrebno za overjanje njenih podatkov. Če se Izvršilni svet s tem strinja, Tehnični sekretariat formalno določi tak objekt ali napravo kot sodelujoče objekte in naprave. Tehnični sekretariat sprejme potrebne ukrepe za ponovni pregled in potrditev svojega potrdila;
(b) Tehnični sekretariat skrbi za veljaven seznam sodelujočih objektov in naprav v državi in ga razpošilja vsem državam pogodbenicam;
(c) Mednarodno podatkovno središče uporabi podatke iz sodelujočih objektov in naprav v državi na zaprosilo kake države pogodbenice, da s tem olajša posvetovanja in razjasnjevanja ter omogoči obravnavanje zahtev za inšpekcije na kraju samem, pri čemer stroške prenosa podatkov krije ta država pogodbenica.
Pogoji, pod katerimi so dodatni podatki iz takih objektov in naprav dani na voljo in pod katerimi lahko Mednarodno podatkovno središče zahteva nadaljnje ali pospešeno poročanje oziroma pojasnila, so obdelani v priročniku za delovanje ustreznega opazovalnega omrežja.
C. POSVETOVANJE IN RAZJASNJEVANJE
29. Brez vpliva na pravico držav pogodbenic, da zahtevajo inšpekcijo na kraju samem, naj bi države pogodbenice, če je le mogoče, poskušale najprej na vsak možen način med seboj ali z organizacijo ali prek nje razjasniti in razrešiti vsako zadevo, ki morda povzroča zaskrbljenost zaradi možnega neizpolnjevanja osnovnih pogodbenih obveznosti.
30. Država pogodbenica, ki prejme zahtevo na podlagi 29. odstavka neposredno od druge države pogodbenice, zagotovi razjasnitev državi pogodbenici, ki je zahtevo poslala, v čim krajšem času, nikakor pa ne kasneje kot 48 ur po prejemu zahteve. Država pogodbenica, ki pošlje ali prejme zahtevo, lahko o zahtevi in odgovoru obvešča Izvršilni svet in generalnega direktorja.
31. Država pogodbenica ima od generalnega direktorja pravico zahtevati pomoč pri razjasnjevanju vsake zadeve, ki bi lahko vzbudila zaskrbljenost zaradi možnega neizponjevanja osnovnih pogodbenih obveznosti. Generalni direktor zagotovi ustrezne informacije, ki jih ima na voljo Tehnični sekretariat in se nanašajo na vzrok zaskrbljenosti. Generalni direktor obvesti Izvršilni svet o zahtevi in v odgovoru danih informacijah, če to zahteva država pogodbenica, ki je informacije zahtevala.
32. Država pogodbenica ima pravico zahtevati od Izvršilnega sveta, da od druge države pogodbenice dobi razjasnitev o vsaki zadevi, ki morda vzbuja zaskrbljenost zaradi možnega neizpolnjevanja osnovnih pogodbenih obveznosti. V tem primeru velja naslednje:
(a) Izvršilni svet zahtevo po razjasnitvi dostavi prek generalnega direktorja državi pogodbenici, ki ji je zahteva namenjena, najkasneje 24 ur po prejemu;
(b) država pogodbenica, ki ji je zahteva namenjena, zagotovi razjasnitev Izvršilnemu svetu v čim krajšem času, nikakor pa ne kasneje kot 48 ur po prejemu zahteve;
(c) Izvršilni svet se seznani z razjasnitvijo in jo pošlje državi pogodbenici, ki jo je zahtevala, najkasneje 24 ur po prejemu;

O zahtevah za razjasnitev na podlagi tega odstavka in odgovorih nanje Izvršilni svet nemudoma obvesti vse države pogodbenice.
33. Če država pogodbenica, ki je dala zahtevo, sodi, da razjasnitev iz pododstavka (d) 32. odstavka ni zadovoljiva, ima pravico zahtevati sestanek Izvršilnega sveta, na katerem imajo pravico sodelovati tudi vpletene države pogodbenice, ki niso članice Izvršilnega sveta. Na takem sestanku Izvršilni svet obravnava zadevo in lahko sprejme kakršen koli ukrep iz V. člena.
D. INŠPEKCIJE NA KRAJU SAMEM
Zahteva za inšpekcijo na kraju samem
34. Vsaka država pogodbenica ima pravico zahtevati inšpekcijo na kraju samem po določbah tega člena in II. dela Protokola na ozemlju ali katerem koli drugem kraju pod jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom katere koli države pogodbenice ali na katerem koli območju zunaj jurisdikcije ali nadzora katere koli države.
35. Edini namen inšpekcije na kraju samem je razjasniti, ali je bila v nasprotju s I. členom izvedena poskusna eksplozija jedrskega orožja ali kakršna koli druga jedrska eksplozija, in po možnosti zbrati podatke, ki bi lahko bili v pomoč pri iskanju možnega kršilca.
36. Država pogodbenica, ki zahteva inšpekcijo na kraju samem, z zahtevo ne sme preseči področja, ki ga ureja ta pogodba, v zahtevi pa mora zagotoviti informacije iz 37. odstavka. Država pogodbenica, ki zahteva inšpekcijo na kraju samem, ne bo neutemeljeno zahtevala inšpekcije ali te pravice zlorabila.
37. Zahteva za inšpekcijo na kraju samem temelji na informacijah, zbranih z Mednarodnim opazovalnim sistemom, na kakršnih koli tehničnih informacijah, pridobljenih s tehničnimi sredstvi za preverjanje v državah na način, ki je v skladu s splošno priznanimi načeli mednarodnega prava, ali na kombinaciji vseh. Zahteva naj vsebuje informacije skladno z 41. odstavkom II. dela Protokola.
38. Država pogodbenica, ki zahteva inšpekcijo na kraju samem, predloži zahtevo Izvršilnemu svetu in hkrati generalnemu direktorju, da ta lahko takoj začne s postopkom.
Nadaljnji postopek po predložitvi zahteve za inšpekcijo na kraju samem
39. Izvršilni svet začne zahtevo za inšpekcijo na kraju samem obravnavati takoj, ko jo prejme.
40. Generalni direktor v dveh urah po prejemu zahteve za inšpekcijo na kraju samem potrdi njen prejem državi pogodbenici, ki jo je zahtevala, v 6 urah pa jo sporoči državi pogodbenici, v kateri naj bi bila opravljena inšpekcija. Generalni direktor preveri, ali zahteva za inšpekcijo ustreza zahtevam iz 41. odstavka II. dela Protokola, in po potrebi državi pogodbenici, ki zahteva inšpekcijo, pomaga ustrezno dopolniti zahtevo, v 24 urah pa jo sporoči Izvršilnemu svetu in vsem drugim državam pogobenicam.
41. Ko je zahteva za inšpekcijo na kraju samem ustrezna, Tehnični sekretariat nemudoma začne s pripravami za inšpekcijo na kraju samem.
42. Po prejemu zahteve za inšpekcijo na kraju samem, ki se nanaša na območje pod jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom države pogodbenice, skuša generalni direktor od države pogodbenice, v kateri naj bi bila opravljena inšpekcija, nemudoma dobiti razjasnitev, da bi pojasnili in razrešili vzrok za zaskrbljenost, ki je razlog za zahtevo.
43. Država pogodbenica, ki prejme zahtevo za razjasnitev iz 42. odstavka, generalnemu direktorju čim prej, vendar najkasneje v 72 urah po prejemu zahteve za razjasnitev, zagotovi razlage in druge potrebne informacije, ki so na voljo.

45. Izvršilni svet sprejme odločitev o zahtevi v skladu s 46. odstavkom, razen kadar država pogodbenica, ki zahteva inšpekcijo, meni, da je zadeva rešena in umakne zahtevo.
Odločitve Izvršilnega sveta
46. Izvršilni svet odloči o zahtevi za inšpekcijo na kraju samem najkasneje 96 ur po prejemu zahteve države pogodbenice, ki inšpekcijo zahteva. Odločitev o odobritvi inšpekcije na kraju samem mora biti sprejeta z vsaj 30 glasovi članic Izvršilnega sveta. Če Izvršilni svet ne odobri inšpekcije, se priprave ustavijo in ni nadaljnjih dejavnosti v zvezi z zahtevo.
47. Najkasneje 25 dni po odobritvi inšpekcije na kraju samem po 46. odstavku inšpekcijska skupina Izvršilnemu svetu po generalnem direktorju dostavi poročilo o napredovanju inšpekcije. Če Izvršilni svet najkasneje 72 ur po prejemu poročila o napredovanju inšpekcije z večino glasov članic ne odloči, da se inšpekcija ne nadaljuje, se šteje nadaljevanje inšpekcije za odobreno. Če Izvršilni svet odloči, da inšpekcije ne nadaljuje, se inšpekcija konča, inšpekcijska skupina pa v skladu s 109. in 110. odstavkom II. dela Protokola čim prej zapusti območje inšpekcije in ozemlje države pogodbenice, v kateri je bila inšpekcija opravljena.
48. Med inšpekcijo na kraju samem lahko inšpekcijska skupina Izvršilnemu svetu po generalnem direktorju predloži predlog za izvedbo vrtanja. Izvršilni svet odloči o takem predlogu najkasneje 72 ur po prejemu predloga. Odločitev o odobritvi vrtanja se sprejme z večino vseh članic Izvršilnega sveta.
49. Inšpekcijska skupina lahko po generalnem direktorju zaprosi Izvršilni svet, da podaljša trajanje inšpekcije za največ 70 dni čez 60-dnevni rok, določen v 4. odstavku II. dela Protokola, če meni, da je tako podaljšanje bistveno za izpolnitev njene naloge. Inšpekcijska skupina v prošnji navede, katere dejavnosti in postopke, navedene v 69. odstavku II. dela Protokola, namerava izvesti med podaljšanjem. Izvršilni svet odloči o prošnji najkasneje 72 ur od prejema prošnje. Odločitev, da odobri podaljšanje trajanja inšpekcije, se sprejme z večino vseh članic Izvršilnega sveta.
50. Inšpekcijska skupina lahko kadar koli po odobritvi nadaljevanja inšpekcije na kraju samem po 47. odstavku predloži Izvršilnemu svetu po generalnem direktorju priporočilo, da se inšpekcija konča. Tako priporočilo se šteje za odobreno, če Izvršilni svet najkasneje 72 ur po prejemu priporočila ne odloči z dvetretjinsko večino vseh članic, da ne odobri končanja inšpekcije. Če se inšpekcija konča, inšpekcijska skupina v skladu s 109. in 110. odstavkom II. dela Protokola čim prej zapusti območje inšpekcije in ozemlje države pogodbenice, v kateri je bila inšpekcija opravljena.
51. Država pogodbenica, ki zahteva inšpekcijo, in država pogodbenica, v kateri naj bi bila inšpekcija opravljena, lahko sodelujeta pri razpravi Izvršilnega sveta o zahtevi za inšpekcijo na kraju samem, vendar ne glasujeta. Država pogodbenica, ki zahteva inšpekcijo, in država pogodbenica, v kateri naj bi bila inšpekcija opravljena, lahko brez glasovalne pravice sodelujeta pri vseh nadaljnjih razpravah Izvršilnega sveta v zvezi z inšpekcijo.
52. Generalni direktor v 24 urah uradno obvesti vse države pogodbenice o vseh odločitvah Izvršilnega sveta, o poročilih, predlogih, prošnjah in priporočilih, sprejetih na podlagi 46. do 50. odstavka.
Nadaljnji postopek, potem ko Izvršilni svet odobri inšpekcijo na kraju samem
53. Inšpekcijo na kraju samem, ki jo odobri Izvršilni svet, nemudoma opravi inšpekcijska skupina, ki jo v skladu z določbami pogodbe in Protokola imenuje generalni direktor. Inšpekcijska skupina prispe na vstopni mejni prehod šest dni po tem, ko je Izvršilni svet prejel zahtevo za inšpekcijo na kraju samem od države pogodbenice, ki inšpekcijo zahteva.
54. Generalni direktor izda nalog za opravljanje inšpekcije na kraju samem. Nalog za opravljanje inšpekcije vsebuje informacije, določene v 42. odstavku II. dela Protokola.
55. V skladu s 43. odstavkom II. dela Protokola generalni direktor uradno obvesti državo pogodbenico, v kateri bo opravljena inšpekcija, najkasneje 24 ur pred načrtovanim prihodom inšpekcijske skupine na vstopni mejni prehod.
Potek inšpekcije na kraju samem
56. Vsaka država pogodbenica dovoli Organizaciji opravljati inšpekcijo na kraju samem na svojem ozemlju ali na krajih pod svojo jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom v skladu z določbami pogodbe in Protokola. Toda nobena država pogodbenica ni dolžna sprejeti več sočasnih inšpekcij na kraju samem na svojem ozemlju ali na krajih pod svojo jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom.
57. V skladu z določbami pogodbe in Protokola ima država pogodbenica, v kateri bo potekala inšpekcija:
(a) pravico in dolžnost, da poskuša na vse primerne načine dokazati svoje izpolnjevanje pogodbe in tako omogočiti inšpekcijski skupini, da opravi svojo nalogo;
(b) pravico sprejeti ukrepe, ki so po njenem mnenju potrebni za zaščito interesov državne varnosti in preprečitev razkritja zaupnih informacij, ki niso povezane z namenom inšpekcije;
(c) dolžnost zagotoviti dostop na območje inšpekcije z edinim namenom ugotavljanja dejstev, pomembnih za inšpekcijo, upoštevajoč pododstavek (b) in kakršne koli z ustavo določene obveznosti, ki jih morda ima glede lastninske pravice, preiskav in zasegov;
(d) dolžnost, da se ne sklicuje na ta odstavek ali na 88. odstavek II. dela Protokola, zato da prikrije kakršno koli kršitev svojih obveznosti iz I. člena, in
(e) dolžnost, da ne ovira inšpekcijske skupine pri gibanju na območju inšpekcije in opravljanju inšpekcijskih dejavnosti v skladu s to pogodbo in Protokolom.
Dostop v zvezi z inšpekcijo na kraju samem pomeni fizični dostop inšpekcijske skupine in opreme na območje inšpekcije ter opravljanje inšpekcijskih nalog na tem območju.
58. Inšpekcija na kraju samem naj poteka na najmanj moteč način glede na pravočasno in učinkovito izpolnitev nalog iz naloga za inšpekcije ter po postopkih, določenih v Protokolu. Če je mogoče, začne inšpekcijska skupina delo z manj motečimi postopki in nadaljuje z bolj motečimi, samo če meni, da so potrebni zaradi pridobitve zadostne količine informacij za razjasnitev okoliščin, ki so povzročile zaskrbljenost zaradi suma neizpolnjevanja pogodbenih obveznosti. Inšpektorji iščejo samo informacije in podatke, potrebne za namen inšpekcije, in skušajo pri tem čim manj motiti običajne dejavnosti države pogodbenice, v kateri poteka inšpekcija.
59. Država pogodbenica, v kateri poteka inšpekcija, pomaga inšpekcijski skupini med inšpekcijo na kraju samem in ji tako olajša nalogo.
60. Če država pogodbenica v kateri poteka inšpekcija, z dejanji na podlagi 86. do 96. odstavka II. dela Protokola inšpekcijski skupini omeji dostop na območju inšpekcije, mora storiti vse, da pri posvetovanjih z inšpekcijsko skupino na drugačen način dokaže izpolnjevanje pogodbenih obveznosti.
Opazovalec
61. Glede opazovalca velja:
(a) država pogodbenica, ki zahteva inšpekcijo, lahko ob pristanku države pogodbenice, v kateri bo potekala inšpekcija, pošlje svojega predstavnika, ki je državljan države pogodbenice, ki zahteva inšpekcijo, ali tretje države pogodbenice, da opazuje potek inšpekcije na kraju samem;
(b) država pogodbenica, v kateri bo opravljena inšpekcija, uradno sporoči generalnemu direktorju v 12 urah po tem, ko je Izvršilni svet odobril inšpekcijo na kraju samem, ali predlaganega opazovalca sprejme ali ne;
(c) če ga država pogodbenica, v kateri poteka inšpekcija, sprejme, opazovalcu zagotovi dostop v skladu s Protokolom;
(d) država pogodbenica, v kateri bo opravljena inšpekcija, naj bi praviloma sprejela predlaganega opazovalca, če pa ga zavrne, se to zapiše v poročilu o inšpekciji.
Če je držav pogodbenic, ki zahtevajo inšpekcijo, več, so lahko skupaj prisotni največ trije opazovalci.
Poročila o inšpekciji na kraju samem
62. Poročila o inšpekciji vsebujejo:
(a) opis dejavnosti, ki jih je opravila inšpekcijska skupina;
(b) dejanske ugotovitve inšpekcijske skupine, pomembne za namen inšpekcije;
(c) poročilo o sodelovanju med inšpekcijo na kraju samem;
(d) dejanski opis obsega dovoljenega dostopa, vključno z drugimi načini, ki so bili skupini zagotovljeni med inšpekcijo na kraju samem;
(e) druge podrobnosti, pomembne za namen inšpekcije.
Ločena mnenja inšpektorjev so lahko priložena poročilu.
63. Generalni direktor da osnutke poročil o inšpekciji na voljo državi pogodbenici, v kateri je bila inšpekcija opravljena. Država pogodbenica, v kateri je potekala inšpekcija, ima pravico v 48 urah generalnemu direktorju dati svoje pripombe in pojasnila ter navesti vse informacije in podatke, ki po njenem mnenju niso povezani z namenom inšpekcije in naj se ne bi širili zunaj Tehničnega sekretariata. Generalni direktor prouči predloge države pogodbenice, v kateri je bila opravljena inšpekcija, za spremembe osnutka poročila o inšpekciji in jih, če je le mogoče, vključi v poročilo. Generalni direktor poročilu o inšpekciji doda tudi vse pripombe in pojasnila države pogodbenice, v kateri je bila opravljena inšpekcija.
64. Generalni direktor takoj dostavi poročilo o inšpekciji državi pogodbenici, ki je zahtevala inšpekcijo, državi pogodbenici, v kateri je bila opravljena inšpekcija, Izvršilnemu svetu in vsem drugim državam pogodbenicam. Generalni direktor Izvršilnemu svetu in vsem drugim državam pogodbenicam takoj dostavi tudi vse rezultate analiz vzorcev iz imenovanih laboratorijev po 104. odstavku II. dela Protokola, ustrezne podatke iz Mednarodnega opazovalnega sistema, ocene držav pogodbenic, ki so zahtevale inšpekcijo in tistih, v katerih je bila inšpekcija opravljena, ter vse druge informacije, ki se mu zdijo pomembne. Poročilo o napredovanju inšpekcije, navedeno v 47. odstavku, generalni direktor dostavi Izvršilnemu svetu v roku, določenem v omenjenem odstavku.
65. Izvršilni svet v skladu s svojimi pooblastili in nalogami pregleda poročilo o inšpekciji in drugo gradivo, predloženo po 64. odstavku, ter prouči vprašanji:
(a) ali se pogodbene obveznosti niso izpolnjevale, in
(b) ali je bila zlorabljena pravica zahtevati inšpekcijo na kraju samem.
66. Če Izvršilni svet v skladu s svojimi pooblastili in nalogami sklene, da so glede na 65. odstavek morda potrebna nadaljnja dejanja, sprejme ustrezne ukrepe na podlagi V. člena.
Nepoštene ali zlonamerne zahteve za inšpekcijo na kraju samem
67. Če Izvršilni svet ne odobri inšpekcije na kraju samem, ker je zahteva za inšpekcijo na kraju samem nepoštena ali zlonamerna, ali če je inšpekcija končana iz enakih razlogov, Izvršilni svet prouči in se odloči o tem, ali naj uvede primerne ukrepe za popravo stanja, vključno z:
(a) zahtevo državi pogodbenici, ki je zahtevala inšpekcijo, da plača stroške vseh priprav, ki jih je izvedel Tehnični sekretariat;
(b) začasnim odvzemom pravice države pogodbenice, ki je zahtevala inšpekcijo, da zahteva inšpekcijo na kraju samem za čas, ki ga določi Izvršilni svet;
(c) začasnim odvzemom pravice države pogodbenice, ki je zahtevala inšpekcijo, da določen čas ne sme sodelovati v Izvršilnem svetu.
E. UKREPI ZA KREPITEV ZAUPANJA
68. Da bi države pogodbenice:
(a) prispevale k pravočasni razrešitvi vseh dvomov o neizpolnjevanju pogodbenih obveznosti, ki izhajajo iz morebitnih napačnih razlag podatkov preverjanja kemičnih eksplozij, in
(b) pomagale pri umerjanju postaj, ki so del sestavnih omrežij Mednarodnega opazovalnega sistema,
se obvežejo, da bodo sodelovale z Organizacijo in drugimi državami pogodbenicami pri izvajanju ustreznih ukrepov, določenih v III. delu Protokola.

1. Ob upoštevanju med drugim priporočil Izvršilnega sveta sprejme Konferenca potrebne ukrepe iz 2. in 3. odstavka za zagotovitev izpolnjevanja pogodbenih obveznosti ter popravo in izboljšanje vsakega stanja, ki ni v skladu z določbami pogodbe.
2. Če Konferenca ali Izvršilni svet zahtevata od države pogodbenice, da popravi stanje, ki povzroča težave glede izpolnjevanja pogodbenih obveznosti, pa ta ne izpolni zahteve v določenem času, lahko Konferenca med drugim državi pogodbenici omeji ali začasno odvzame pravice in privilegije po tej pogodbi, dokler Konferenca ne odloči drugače.
3. Kadar lahko neizpolnjevanje temeljnih pogodbenih obveznosti škoduje cilju in namenu pogodbe, lahko Konferenca predlaga državam pogodbenicam skupne ukrepe, ki so v skladu z mednarodnim pravom.
4. Konferenca oziroma v nujnih primerih Izvršilni svet lahko zadevo vključno z ustreznimi podatki in sklepi predloži Združenim narodom.

I. DEL
NALOGE MEDNARODNEGA OPAZOVALNEGA SISTEMA IN MEDNARODNEGA PODATKOVNEGA SREDIŠČA
A. SPLOŠNE DOLOČBE
1. Mednarodni opazovalni sistem sestavljajo opazovalni objekti in naprave, navedene v 19. odstavku IV. člena, in ustrezna komunikacijska sredstva.
2. Opazovalni objekti in naprave, vključeni v Mednarodni opazovalni sistem, sestavljajo objekti in naprave, ki so podrobno navedeni v Prilogi 1 k temu Protokolu. Mednarodni opazovalni sistem izpolnjuje tehnične in obratovalne zahteve, določene v priročnikih za delovanje.
3. Organizacija po določbah II. člena v sodelovanju in po posvetovanjih z državami pogodbenicami, drugimi državami in ustreznimi mednarodnimi organizacijami ustanovi Mednarodni opazovalni sistem in usklajuje njegovo delovanje in vzdrževanje ter vse prihodnje dogovorjene spremembe ali razvoj sistema.
4. Na podlagi sporazumov ali dogovorov in postopkov se država pogodbenica ali druga država, v kateri so objekti in naprave Mednarodnega opazovalnega sistema ali za katere ta drugače prevzame odgovornost, in Tehnični sekretariat dogovorita in sodelujeta pri ustanavljanju, delovanju, izpopolnjevanju, financiranju in vzdrževanju opazovalnih objektov in naprav, z njimi povezanih laboratorijev in ustreznih komunikacijskih sredstev na območjih pod njeno jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom ali kje drugje v skladu z mednarodnim pravom. Tako sodelovanje mora biti v skladu z varnostnimi zahtevami in zahtevami za overitev ter tehničnimi specifikacijami, določenimi v priročnikih za delovanje. Ta država da Tehničnemu sekretariatu dovoljenje za dostop do opazovalnega objekta ali naprave zaradi pregleda opreme in komunikacijskih zvez ter soglaša, da bo opravila potrebne spremembe na opremi in delovnih postopkih, s katerimi bo dosegla dogovorjene zahteve. Tehnični sekretariat zagotovi tem državam primerno strokovno pomoč, za katero Izvršilni svet meni, da je potrebna za pravilno delovanje objektov in naprav kot dela Mednarodnega opazovalnega sistema.
5. Pogoji in načini sodelovanja med Organizacijo in državami pogodbenicami ali državami, v katerih so objekti in naprave Mednarodnega opazovalnega sistema ali ki so kako drugače prevzele odgovornost zanje, se za vsak posamezen primer določijo v sporazumih ali dogovorih.
B. SEIZMOLOŠKO OPAZOVANJE
6. Vsaka država pogodbenica se obvezuje, da bo sodelovala pri mednarodni izmenjavi seizmoloških podatkov in tako pomagala pri preverjanju izpolnjevanja pogodbenih obveznosti. To sodelovanje vključuje vzpostavitev in delovanje svetovnega omrežja osnovnih in pomožnih seizmoloških opazovalnih postaj. Te postaje zagotavljajo podatke Mednarodnemu podatkovnemu središču po dogovorjenih postopkih.
7. Omrežje osnovnih postaj je sestavljeno iz 50 postaj, navedenih v preglednici 1-A Priloge 1 k Protokolu.

II. DEL
INŠPEKCIJE NA KRAJU SAMEM
A. SPLOŠNE DOLOČBE
1. Postopki v tem delu se izvajajo na podlagi določb za inšpekcije na kraju samem, navedenih v IV. členu.
2. Inšpekcija na kraju samem se opravi na območju, kjer je prišlo do dogodka, ki je sprožil zahtevo za inšpekcijo na kraju samem.
3. Območje inšpekcije na kraju samem mora biti sklenjeno in ne sme presegati 1000 km. Zračna razdalja med katerima koli točkama ne sme biti večja od 50 km.
4. Trajanje inšpekcije na kraju samem ne sme presegati 60 dni od dneva odobritve inšpekcije na kraju samem v skladu s 46. odstavkom IV. člena, vendar jo je v skladu z 49. odstavkom IV. člena mogoče podaljšati za največ 70 dni.
5. Če območje, določeno v inšpekcijskem nalogu, obsega ozemlje ali druge kraje pod jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom več kot ene države pogodbenice, določbe o inšpekciji na kraju samem ustrezno veljajo za vsako državo pogodbenico, v katero se razteza območje inšpekcije.
6. Kadar je območje inšpekcije pod jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom države pogodbenice, v kateri bo opravljena inšpekcija, je pa na ozemlju druge države pogodbenice ali je za dostop do območja inšpekcije od vstopnega mejnega prehoda potreben prehod čez ozemlje druge države pogodbenice, potem država pogodbenica, v kateri bo opravljena inšpekcija, uresničuje svoje pravice in izpolnjuje svoje obveznosti glede inšpekcij v skladu s tem protokolom. V takem primeru država pogodbenica, na katere ozemlju je območje inšpekcije, olajša inšpekcijo in zagotovi potrebno podporo, da omogoči inšpekcijski skupini, da svoje naloge opravi pravočasno in učinkovito. Države pogodbenice, čez ozemlja katerih je potreben prehod za dostop do območja inšpekcije, olajšajo tak prehod.
7. Kadar je območje inšpekcije pod jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom države pogodbenice, v kateri bo opravljena inšpekcija, je pa na ozemlju države, ki ni pogodbenica te pogodbe, potem država pogodbenica, v kateri bo opravljena inšpekcija, ukrene vse potrebno, da zagotovi opravljanje inšpekcije v skladu s tem Protokolom. Država pogodbenica, ki ima pod svojo jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom eno ali več območij na ozemlju države, ki ni pogodbenica te pogodbe, ukrene vse potrebno, da zagotovi, da država, na ozemlju katere je območje inšpekcije, sprejme inšpektorje in pomočnike inšpektorjev, določene za državo pogodbenico. Če država, v kateri bo opravljena inšpekcija, ne more zagotoviti dostopa, mora dokazati, da je ukrenila vse potrebno, da bi zagotovila dostop.
8. Kadar je območje inšpekcije na ozemlju države pogodbenice, vendar je pod jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom države, ki ni pogodbenica te pogodbe, potem država pogodbenica brez škode za pravila in običajne postopke mednarodnega prava sprejme vse potrebne ukrepe, kot jih morata država pogodbenica, v kateri bo opravljena inšpekcija, in država pogodbenica, na ozemlju katere je območje inšpekcije, da zagotovi opravljanje inšpekcije na kraju samem v skladu s tem protokolom. Če država pogodbenica ne more zagotoviti dostopa na območje inšpekcije, mora brez škode za pravila in običajne postopke mednarodnega prava dokazati, da je sprejela vse potrebne ukrepe za zagotovitev dostopa.
9. Inšpekcijska skupina naj bo čim manjša, vendar taka, da lahko dobro izpolni inšpekcijsko nalogo. Skupno število članov inšpekcijske skupine, navzočih na ozemlju države pogodbenice, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, nikoli, razen med vrtanjem, ne sme presegati 40 oseb. Državljani države pogodbenice, ki je zahtevala inšpekcijo, ali države pogodbenice, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, ne smejo biti člani inšpekcijske skupine.
10. Generalni direktor določi velikost inšpekcijske skupine in izbere njene člane s seznama inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev ob upoštevanju okoliščin posamezne zahteve.
11. Država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, zagotovi ali uredi vse potrebno za delo inšpekcijske skupine, kot na primer komunikacijska sredstva, prevajalske storitve, prevoz, delovni prostor, bivališče, prehrano in zdravstveno oskrbo.
12. Država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, dobi v razumno kratkem času po končani inšpekciji od Organizacije povrnjene vse stroške, vključno s stroški, navedenimi v 11. in 49. odstavku, povezane z bivanjem in opravljanjem delovne naloge inšpekcijske skupine na ozemlju države pogodbenice, v kateri je bila opravljena.
13. Postopki za opravljanje inšpekcij na kraju samem so podrobno opisani v Priročniku za delovanje inšpekcije na kraju samem.
B. STALNE UREDITVE
Določanje inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev
14. Inšpekcijska skupina je lahko sestavljena iz inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev. Inšpekcijo na kraju samem lahko opravljajo samo usposobljeni inšpektorji, posebej imenovani za to nalogo. Pomagajo jim lahko posebej imenovani pomočniki inšpektorjev, kot na primer tehnično in administrativno osebje, letalske posadke in prevajalci.
15. Inšpektorje in pomočnike inšpektorjev za imenovanje predlagajo države pogodbenice, osebje iz Tehničnega sekretariata pa predlaga generalni direktor na podlagi njihove strokovnosti in izkušenj glede na namen in naloge inšpekcije na kraju samem. Predlagane vnaprej potrdijo države pogodbenice v skladu z 18. odstavkom.
16. Vsaka država pogodbenica najkasneje v 30 dneh, potem ko začne pogodba zanjo veljati, obvesti generalnega direktorja o imenu, datumu rojstva, spolu, položaju, izobrazbi in strokovnih izkušnjah oseb, ki jih država pogodbenica predlaga za imenovanje na položaj inšpektorja ali pomočnika inšpektorja.
17. Najkasneje 60 dni po začetku veljavnosti te pogodbe Tehnični sekretariat pisno dostavi vsem državam pogodbenicam začetni seznam imen, državljanstva, datuma rojstva, spola in položaja inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev, ki jih za imenovanje predlagajo generalni direktor in države pogodbenice, kot tudi opis njihove izobrazbe in strokovnih izkušenj.
18. Vsaka država pogodbenica nemudoma potrdi prejem začetnega seznama inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev, predlaganih za imenovanje. Vsak inšpektor ali pomočnik inšpektorja, vključen v ta seznam, se šteje kot sprejet, razen če država pogodbenica najkasneje 30 dni po potrditvi prejema seznama pisno izjavi, da ga ne sprejema. Država pogodbenica lahko vključi tudi razlog za ugovor. Če predlagani inšpektor ali pomočnik inšpektorja ni sprejet, ne sme opravljati inšpekcijskih dejavnosti ali sodelovati pri inšpekcijah na kraju samem na ozemlju ali na katerem koli drugem kraju pod jurisdikcijo ali nadzorom države pogodbenice, ki je izjavila, da ga ne sprejme. Tehnični sekretariat nemudoma potrdi prejem uradnega obvestila o ugovoru.
19. Kadar generalni direktor ali država pogodbenica predlaga dopolnitve ali spremembe seznama inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev, se nadomestni inšpektorji in pomočniki inšpektorjev imenujejo na enak način, kot je to določeno za začetni seznam. Vsaka država pogodbenica takoj uradno obvesti Tehnični sekretariat, če inšpektor ali pomočnik inšpektorja, ki ga je predlagala, ne more več opravljati dolžnosti inšpektorja ali pomočnika inšpektorja.
20. Tehnični sekretariat sproti dopolnjuje in spreminja seznam inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev in uradno obvešča vse države pogodbenice o dopolnitvah ali spremembah seznama.
21. Država pogodbenica, ki zahteva inšpekcijo na kraju samem, lahko predlaga, da inšpektor s seznama inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev opravlja dolžnosti njenega opazovalca v skladu z 61. odstavkom IV. člena.
22. Ob upoštevanju 23. odstavka ima država pogodbenica pravico, da kadar koli da ugovor na inšpektorja ali pomočnika inšpektorja, ki je že bil sprejet. O svojem ugovoru uradno pisno obvesti Tehnični sekretariat, vključi pa lahko tudi razlog za ugovor. Tak ugovor začne veljati 30 dni po dnevu, ko je Tehnični sekretariat prejel uradno obvestilo o ugovoru. Tehnični sekretariat takoj potrdi prejem uradnega obvestila o ugovoru in obvesti državo, ki je ugovor dala, in tisto, ki je inšpektorja ali pomočnika inšpektorja predlagala, o dnevu, ko preneha imenovanje inšpektorja ali pomočnika inšpektorja za to državo pogodbenico.
23. Država pogodbenica, ki je bila uradno obveščena o inšpekciji, ne sme zahtevati, da se iz inšpekcijske skupine odstrani kateri koli inšpektor ali pomočnik inšpektorja, ki je imenovan v inšpekcijskem nalogu.
24. Število inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev, ki jih posamezna država pogodbenica sprejme, mora biti dovolj veliko, da je na voljo primerno število inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev. Če po mnenju generalnega direktorja dejstvo, da država pogodbenica ni sprejela predlaganih inšpektorjev ali pomočnikov inšpektorjev, preprečuje imenovanje zadostnega števila inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev ali drugače ovira učinkovito izpolnitev namenov inšpekcije na kraju samem, generalni direktor zadevo preda Izvršilnemu svetu.
25. Vsakega inšpektorja, vključenega na seznam inšpektorjev in pomočnikov inšpektorjev, je treba ustrezno usposobiti. Tako usposabljanje zagotovi Tehnični sekretariat po postopkih, določenih v Priročniku za delovanje za inšpekcije na kraju samem. Tehnični sekretariat po dogovoru z državami pogodbenicami usklajuje program usposabljanja inšpektorjev.

29. Ne da bi to vplivalo na njihove privilegije in imunitete, morajo člani inšpekcijske skupine spoštovati zakone in predpise države pogodbenice, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, in se ne smejo vmešavati v notranje zadeve te države, če to ni v skladu z inšpekcijskim nalogom. Če država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, meni, da so bili privilegiji in imunitete, določeni v tem protokolu, zlorabljeni, se morata država pogodbenica in generalni direktor posvetovati in ugotoviti, ali je do zlorabe res prišlo in če je, preprečiti ponovitev take zlorabe.
30. Sodni imuniteti članov inšpekcijske skupine pred pristojnimi organi se lahko generalni direktor odpove v primerih, ko meni, da bi imuniteta ovirala izvajanje sodne oblasti in da se ji je mogoče odpovedati, ne da bi to vplivalo na izvajanje določb pogodbe. Odpoved mora biti izrecna.
31. Opazovalcem se priznajo enaki privilegiji in imunitete kot članom inšpekcijske skupine po tem poglavju, razen tistih, priznanih po pododstavku (d) 27. odstavka.
Vstopni mejni prehodi
32. Vsaka država pogodbenica določi vstopne mejne prehode in Tehničnemu sekretariatu dostavi potrebne informacije najkasneje 30 dni po dnevu, ko začne pogodba zanjo veljati. Vstopni mejni prehodi morajo biti določeni tako, da lahko inšpekcijska skupina v 24 urah doseže vsako območje inšpekcije z vsaj enega vstopnega mejnega prehoda. Kraje vstopnih mejnih prehodov vsem državam pogodbenicam dostavi Tehnični sekretariat. Vstopne mejne prehode je mogoče uporabiti tudi kot izstopne mejne prehode.
33. Vsaka država pogodbenica lahko spremeni vstopne mejne prehode z obvestilom Tehničnemu sekretariatu o taki spremembi. Spremembe začnejo veljati 30 dni po dnevu, ko Tehnični sekretariat prejme tako uradno obvestilo, da omogoči ustrezno obveščenost vseh držav pogodbenic.
34. Če Tehnični sekretariat meni, da za pravočasno izvedbo inšpekcije ni dovolj vstopnih mejnih prehodov ali da bi spremembe vstopnih mejnih prehodov, ki jih predlaga država pogodbenica, ovirale pravočasno izvedbo inšpekcij, se mora za rešitev problema posvetovati s to državo pogodbenico.
Dogovori za uporabo zrakoplovov zunaj voznega reda
35. Če pravočasno potovanje do vstopnega mejnega prehoda z uporabo rednih letov ni mogoče, lahko inšpekcijska skupina uporabi zrakoplovov zunaj voznega reda. V 30 dneh po dnevu, ko pogodba začne veljati za posamezno državo pogodbenico, ta obvesti Tehnični sekretariat o številki stalnega diplomatskega dovoljenja za zrakoplove zunaj voznega reda, ki prevažajo inšpekcijsko skupino in opremo, potrebno za inšpekcijo. Zrakoplov naj leti po ustaljenih mednarodnih zračnih poteh, ki so dogovorjene med državo pogodbenico in Tehničnim sekretariatom kot podlaga za tako diplomatsko dovoljenje.
Odobrena inšpekcijska oprema
36. Konferenca na prvem zasedanju obravnava in odobri seznam opreme, ki se uporablja med inšpekcijami na kraju samem. Vsaka država pogodbenica lahko vloži predloge za vključitev opreme na seznam. Specifikacije za uporabo opreme, podrobneje določene v Priročniku za delovanje inšpekcij na kraju samem, upoštevajo varnost in zaupnost na kraju, na katerem bo taka oprema verjetno uporabljena.
37. Oprema za uporabo med inšpekcijami na kraju samem je sestavljena iz osnovne opreme za inšpekcijske dejavnosti in metode, določene v 69. odstavku, in pomožne opreme, potrebne za učinkovito in pravočasno opravljanje inšpekcij na kraju samem.
38. Tehnični sekretariat zagotovi, da so vse vrste odobrene opreme na voljo za inšpekcije na kraju samem, kadar so potrebne. Kadar je oprema potrebna za inšpekcijo na kraju samem, Tehnični sekretariat pravilno potrdi, da je bila oprema umerjena, vzdrževana in zaščitena. Da bi se državi pogodbenici, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, olajšalo pregledovanje opreme na vstopni mejni prehod, Tehnični sekretariat zagotovi dokumentacijo in z žigom overi potrdilo.
39. Za vso stalno nameščeno opremo skrbi Tehnični sekretariat. Tehnični sekretariat je odgovoren za vzdrževanje in umerjanje take opreme.
40. Po potrebi Tehnični sekretariat z državami pogodbenicami sklene dogovor o zagotavljanju opreme, navedene na seznamu. Te države pogodbenice so odgovorne za vzdrževanje in umerjanje take opreme.

85. Postopki za izvedbo preletov se podrobno določijo v Priročniku za delovanje za inšpekcije na kraju samem.
Nadzorovani dostop
86. Inšpekcijska skupina ima pravico do dostopa v območje inšpekcije v skladu z določbami pogodbe in tega protokola.
87. Država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, zagotovi dostop na območju inšpekcije v skladu s časom, določenim v 57. odstavku.
88. Po 57. odstavku IV. člena in 86. odstavku tega protokola pravice in obveznosti države pogodbenice, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, vključujejo:
(a) pravico sprejeti ukrepe za zaščito občutljivih objektov, naprav in krajev v skladu s tem protokolom;
(b) obveznost, da v razumnih mejah stori vse, da zadovolji zahteve inšpekcijskega naloga na drugačne načine, če je dostop na območju inšpekcije omejen. Reševanje vprašanj glede enega ali več vidikov inšpekcije ne sme zadržati ali ovirati inšpekcijske skupine pri opravljanju inšpekcijskih dejavnosti z drugih vidikov, in
(c) pravico do končne odločitve o dostopu inšpekcijske skupine kamor koli ob upoštevanju njenih obveznosti po pogodbi in po določbah o nadzorovanem dostopu.
89. Po pododstavku (b) 57. odstavka IV. člena in pododstavka (a) 88. odstavka tega protokola ima država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, pravico, da na celotnem območju inšpekcije zavaruje občutljive objekte, naprave in kraje ter da prepreči razkritje zaupnih informacij, ki niso povezane z namenom inšpekcije. Ti ukrepi lahko med drugim vključujejo:
(a) zakritje občutljivih zaslonov, skladišč in opreme;
(b) omejitev meritev aktivnosti radioaktivnih nuklidov in jedrskega sevanja samo na določanje prisotnosti ali odsotnosti tistih vrst in energij sevanja, ki so pomembne za namen inšpekcije;
(c) omejitev jemanja in analiziranja vzorcev za ugotavljanje prisotnosti ali odsotnosti radioaktivnih ali drugih snovi, pomembnih za namen inšpekcije;
(d) nadzorovanje dostopa do zgradb in drugih objektov v skladu z 90. in 91. odstavkom, in
(e) določitev območij z omejenim dostopom v skladu z 92. do 96. odstavkom.
90. Dostop do zgradb in drugih objektov se odloži do odobritve nadaljevanja inšpekcije na kraju samem v skladu s 47. odstavkom IV. člena, razen za dostop do zgradb in drugih objektov, ki pokrivajo vhod v rudnik, druge izkope ali velike jame, ki sicer niso dostopni. Za take zgradbe in objekte ima inšpekcijska skupina samo pravico do prehoda, kot ga določi država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, da bi vstopila v rudnike, jame ali druge izkope.
91. Če po odobritvi nadaljevanja inšpekcije v skladu s 47. odstavkom IV. člena inšpekcijska skupina državi pogodbenici, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, jasno dokaže, da je dostop do zgradb in drugih objektov potreben za izpolnitev inšpekcijskega naloga in da potrebnih dejavnosti, določenih v nalogu, ne bi bilo mogoče opraviti od zunaj, ima inšpekcijska skupina pravico dobiti dostop do takih zgradb ali drugih objektov. Vodja inšpekcijske skupine zaprosi za dostop do določene zgradbe ali objekta, pri čemer navede namen dostopa, točno število inšpektorjev ter načrtovane dejavnosti. O pogojih in načinu dostopa se pogajata inšpekcijska skupina in država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija. Država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, ima pravico omejiti ali v izjemnih primerih in z razumno utemeljitvijo prepovedati dostop do zgradb in drugih objektov.
92. Pri določanju območij z omejenim dostopom po pododstavku (e) 89. odstavka nobeno tako območje ne sme biti večje od 4 km2. Država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, ima pravico določiti do 50 km2 območij z omejenim dostopom. Če je določeno več kot eno območje z omejenim dostopom, je najmanjša dovoljena razdalja med temi območji 20 m. Vsako območje z omejenim dostopom mora imeti jasno določene in dostopne meje.
93. Velikost, kraj in meje območij z omejenim dostopom morajo biti predložene vodji inšpekcijske skupine najkasneje takrat, ko inšpekcijska skupina želi dostop do kraja, kjer je tako območje z omejenim dostopom ali njegov del.
94. Inšpekcijska skupina ima pravico namestiti opremo in opraviti druge potrebne ukrepe za izvedbo inšpekcije do mej območij z omejenim dostopom.
95. Inšpekcijski skupini se dovoli vizualno opazovanje vseh odprtih prostorov v območju z omejenim dostopom z mej tega območja.
96. Inšpekcijska skupina mora v razumnih mejah storiti vse, da izpolni inšpekcijski nalogo zunaj določenih območjih z omejenim dostopom, preden zaprosi za dostop na ta območja. Če inšpekcijska skupina državi pogodbenici, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, kadar koli jasno dokaže, da potrebnih dejavnosti, določenih v nalogu, ne bi bilo mogoče opraviti od zunaj in da je dostop na območje z omejenim dostopom potreben za izpolnitev naloge, imajo nekateri člani inšpekcijske skupine pravico dobiti dostop na tako območje za izvedbo določenih nalog. Država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, ima pravico zakriti ali kako drugače zaščititi občutljivo opremo, predmete in material, ki niso povezani z namenom inšpekcije. Število inšpektorjev mora biti najmanjše potrebno za izpolnitev nalog, povezanih z inšpekcijo. O pogojih in načinih dostopa se pogajata inšpekcijska skupina in država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija.
Zbiranje in analiza vzorcev ter ravnanje z njimi
97. Ob upoštevanju odstavkov 86 do 96 in 98 do 100 ima inšpekcijska skupina pravico zbirati in odnašati pomembne vzorce z območja inšpekcije.
98. Kadar koli je to mogoče, inšpekcijska skupina analizira vzorce na kraju samem. Predstavniki države pogodbenice, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, imajo pravico biti prisotni med analiziranjem vzorcev na kraju samem. Na zahtevo inšpekcijske skupine država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, po dogovorjenih postopkih zagotovi pomoč za analizo vzorcev na kraju samem. Inšpekcijska skupina ima pravico prenesti vzorce za analizo na drugem kraju v laboratorije, ki jih je imenovala Organizacija, samo če dokaže, da potrebne analize vzorcev ni mogoče opraviti na kraju samem.
99. Država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, ima pravico zadržati dele vseh zbranih vzorcev, kadar se ti analizirajo, in lahko vzame dvojnike vzorcev.
100. Država pogodbenica, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, ima pravico zahtevati, da se vsi neuporabljeni vzorci ali njihovi deli vrnejo.
101. Imenovani laboratoriji opravljajo kemične in fizikalne analize vzorcev, prenesenih za analizo na drugem kraju. Podrobnosti takih analiz so obdelane v Priročniku za delovanje za inšpekcije na kraju samem.
102. Generalni direktor je prvi odgovoren za varnost, nedotakljivost in ohranitev vzorcev ter za zagotovitev, da je zaupnost vzorcev, prenesenih za analizo na drugem kraju, zavarovana. Generalni direktor to stori po postopkih, vsebovanih v Priročniku za delovanje za inšpekcije na kraju samem. Generalni direktor v vsakem primeru:
(a) vzpostavi strog režim glede zbiranja, prevoza in analize vzorcev ter ravnanja z njimi;
(b) potrdi laboratorije, ki so imenovani za opravljanje različnih vrst analiz;
(c) nadzira standardizacijo opreme in postopkov v imenovanih laboratorijih ter mobilne opreme in postopkov za analize;
(d) nadzira kontrolo kakovosti in splošnih standardov v zvezi s potrditvijo laboratorijev ter mobilne opreme in postopkov in
(e) med imenovanimi laboratoriji izbere tiste, ki bodo opravili analize ali druge naloge v zvezi s posameznimi preiskavami.
103. Kadar je treba opraviti analizo na drugem kraju, se vzorci analizirajo v vsaj dveh imenovanih laboratorijih. Tehnični sekretariat zagotovi hitro izvedbo analiz. Za vzorce poskrbi Tehnični sekretariat, vse neuporabljene vzorce ali njihove dele pa je treba vrniti Tehničnemu sekretariatu.
104. Tehnični sekretariat zbere in ovrednoti izsledke laboratorijskih analiz vzorcev, pomembnih za namen inšpekcije. Po 63. odstavku IV. člena generalni direktor rezultate nemudoma dostavi državi pogodbenici, v kateri se opravlja inšpekcija, zaradi pripomb in nato Izvršilnemu svetu in vsem drugim državam pogodbenicam ter vključi podrobne informacije o opremi in metodologiji, ki so jo uporabili imenovani laboratoriji.
Opravljanje inšpekcij na območjih zunaj jurisdikcije ali nadzora katere koli države
105. V primeru inšpekcij na kraju samem na območju zunaj jurisdikcije ali nadzora katere koli države se generalni direktor posvetuje z ustreznimi državami pogodbenicami in dogovori o tranzitnih ali baznih točkah, da bi olajšal hiter prihod inšpekcijske skupine na območje inšpekcije.
106. Države pogodbenice, na ozemlju katerih so tranzitne ali bazne točke, čim bolj pomagajo pri lažji izvedbi inšpekcije, vključno s prevozom inšpekcijske skupine, njene prtljage in opreme na območje inšpekcije kot tudi z zagotavljanjem primernih pogojev, kot je navedeno v 11. odstavku. Organizacija državam pogodbenicam, ki pomagajo pri inšpekciji, povrne vse nastale stroške.
107. Če Izvršilni svet to odobri, se lahko generalni direktor z državami pogodbenicami pogodi o stalni ureditvi za olajšanje pomoči v primeru inšpekcije na kraju samem na območju zunaj jurisdikcije ali nadzora katere koli države.
108. Če je ena ali več držav pogodbenic izvedla preiskavo dvoumnega dogodka na območju zunaj jurisdikcije ali nadzora katere koli države, preden je bila vložena zahteva za inšpekcijo na kraju samem na tem območju, lahko Izvršilni svet pri svoji razpravi po IV. členu upošteva tudi izsledke teh preiskav.
Poinšpekcijski postopki
109. Po končani inšpekciji se inšpekcijska skupina sestane s predstavniki države pogodbenice, v kateri je bila opravljena inšpekcija, da pregledajo predhodne ugotovitve inšpekcijske skupine in razjasnijo vse dvoumnosti. Inšpekcijska skupina da predstavniku države pogodbenice, v kateri je bila opravljena inšpekcija, svoje predhodne ugotovitve v pisni standardizirani obliki skupaj s seznamom vzorcev in drugega gradiva, ki so bili z območja inšpekcije vzeti po 98. odstavku. Dokument podpiše vodja inšpekcijske skupine. Kot potrditev, da je seznanjen z vsebino dokumenta, tudi predstavnik države pogodbenice, v kateri je bila opravljena inšpekcija, sopodpiše ta dokument. Sestanek mora biti končan v 24 urah po končani inšpekciji.
Odhod
110. Po dokončanju poinšpekcijskih postopkov inšpekcijska skupina in opazovalec čim prej zapustita območje države pogodbenice, v kateri je bila opravljena inšpekcija. Država pogodbenica, v kateri je bila opravljena inšpekcija, naredi vse, kar je v njeni moči, da zagotovi pomoč in varno pot inšpekcijske skupine, njene prtljage in opreme do izstopnega mejnega prehoda. Če se država pogodbenica, v kateri je bila opravljena inšpekcija, in inšpekcijska skupina ne dogovorita drugače, je izstopni mejni prehod isti kot vstopni mejni prehod.
III. DEL
