IAEA‑Style Inspections for Biology

Apply the IAEA’s safeguards architecture — routine inspections, standardized reporting, state‑level safeguards agreements, and graduated enforcement — as a template for an enforceable global biological‑safety and dual‑use research verification regime. The model would pair technical verification protocols with treaty obligations and agreed escalation measures. — Adopting an IAEA‑style institutional template for biosecurity would transform how states govern dual‑use research, enable credible international verification, and narrow the gap between rhetoric and enforceable oversight in pandemic prevention.
