It is reported (World Nuclear News, January 8; NTI, January 8) that Libya is taking further steps in the implementation of its civilian nuclear program:

the Libyan Atomic Energy Institute has begun “activating” agreements signed with what it describes as friendly countries on the peaceful use of nuclear energy, and is also working towards issuing a nuclear law. The passing of a federal law on the peaceful use of nuclear energy is an important step towards establishing the necessary legal and regulatory framework for any country wishing to embark on any a nuclear power program of any scale.

Libya (like the UAE) has been and will be taken as a role model, in particular to increase pressure on Iran to come clean with the international community about its nuclear program.
