Q128 (IAS/2008) International Relations & Global Affairs › International Organisations & Groupings › International Organisations & Groupings

Consider the following statements: 1. The Nuclear Suppliers Group has 24 countries as its members. 2. India is a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: D
Explanation

Both statements are incorrect based on the facts at the time of the 2008 exam and current status:

  • Statement 1: In 2008, the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) had 45 member countries. The group was founded in 1974 with 7 members and has grown over decades. Today, it consists of 48 members. The figure of 24 members mentioned in the statement is outdated.
  • Statement 2: India is not a member of the NSG. Although India was granted a "clean waiver" by the NSG in September 2008 (allowing it to engage in global nuclear trade despite not being a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty), it has not yet been inducted as a member.

Therefore, neither statement is correct.
