In April 2006, the Pan American Meeting on Strengthening Implementation of International Instruments in the Americas for Enhanced Nuclear and Radiological Security, organized by the Government of Ecuador in cooperation with the IAEA, was held in Quito. The objective of the meeting was to increase awareness of the need to strengthen nuclear and radiological security through the implementation of existing international legal instruments and through enhanced cooperation among the States of the Americas. The Meeting addressed the importance of international coordination and cooperation to strengthen the legal, technical and administrative infrastructures that are necessary to effective approaches against the nuclear security threats posed by non-State actors and considered how resources could be most effectively engaged to implement these approaches.
