Safeguards and Verification

Safeguards and verification are methods to ensure that entities, such as countries or organizations, follow agreements and do not misuse resources, especially concerning sensitive technologies or materials like nuclear substances. Safeguards involve measures like inspections, monitoring, and record checks to confirm compliance. Verification is the process of independently confirming that the information provided is accurate and that commitments are being upheld. Together, they build trust, prevent illegal activities, and promote transparency in international agreements or regulations.
