The project activates include: (1) universalizing the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism (ICSANT) and the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM) and its Amendment (CPPNM/A); (2) supporting the adequate incorporation of their criminalization requirements into national legislation; and (3) providing capacity building of criminal justice officials and other relevant stakeholders on their implementation.
