        the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, done at Washington, 
        London and Moscow on July 1, 1968, and entered into force on 
        March 5, 1970 (21 UST 483) (hereinafter in this resolution 
        referred to as the ``Treaty''), to be held responsible for any 
        violations by the country of the Treaty's requirements that 
        occurred before the country's withdrawal from the Treaty; and
            (2) prohibits any country that withdraws from the Treaty 
        after the country is determined to be in noncompliance with any 
        of the Treaty's requirements, including any applicable 
        safeguards agreements, from using or retaining any nuclear 
        energy assets, including all items listed in the current 
        version of the International Atomic Energy Agency trigger list, 
        published in INFCIRC/254 parts 1 and 2, acquired from other

        Treaty.
