[leveymg]

28. The US is in violation of the NPT for diversion; Israel in violation of US law for receipt

and coordination of unlawful transfer of technology and militarily significant materials without lawful authorization, as are its nationals and U.S. agents involved in the scheme.

The decision to not prosecute was an exercise of discretion based in political considerations.

US Violation of NPT Non-proliferation (http://www.scujil.org/volumes/v2/3)

Article I of the NPT states:

Each nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty undertakes not to transfer to any recipient whatsoever nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices or control over such weapons or explosive devices directly, or indirectly; and not in any way to assist, encourage, or induce any non-nuclear-weapon State to manufacture or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices, or control over such weapons or explosive devices.[53]

Article II covers the duties of non-nuclear nations:

Each non-nuclear-weapon State Party to the Treaty undertakes not to receive the transfer from any transferor whatsoever of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices or of control over such weapons or explosive devices directly, or indirectly; not to manufacture or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices; and not to seek or receive any assistance in the manufacture of nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices.[54]

Attendant violations of US law (Espionage Act of 1917, Theft, Unlawful Conversion of U.S. Gov't property)

In 1988, Samuel Morison, an employee of the US Dept. of the Navy, unsuccessfully filed cert to remain free on bond after he was convicted of stealing classified U.S. satellite photos of a Soviet aircraft carrier under construction and selling the photos to Jane's Defense Weekly for $300. The magazine and its editors were not prosecuted. Morison was convicted of two charges, one related to conversion of gov't property and the second under Sec. 793 of the Espionage Act.
