Abstract

The objective of the present paper is to provide the reader with an approach on the subject of nuclear safeguards, from a legal perspective, to inquire about its importance, legal nature, foundations of its obligation and categories in international law. This topic, in general, has been approached from the field of political science or the theory of international relations, fundamentally emphasizing political factors, and therefore results from the usefulness of its treatment in the field of law to provide a full understanding of reality through the framework of international standards that shape and support it. Finally, we will refer to the question of safeguards in the cases of Argentina and Brazil, the specific issues that deserve to be highlighted as an object of study.
