There were a number of issues which needed to be resolved in the Conference on Disarmament negotiations on the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. Those included the scope of the treaty, the verification arrangements, and how many and which countries must ratify the treaty before it entered into force. Entry into Force (EIF) emerged as an issue with the potential to disrupt negotiations. Monitoring states' compliance with the treaty could not start until it entered into force. The implementation process, including the verification regime, would then be set in motion. Without the verification and other organizational structures in place, the treaty would be ineffective.

In 1993, the International Atomic Energy Agency's (IAEA) Board of Governors' formally requested the IAEA's Standing Advisory Group on Safeguards (SAGSI) to make proposals to tighten the safeguards regime and to make it more efficient. The wish to have a plan of action by the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Review and Extension Conference in mid-1995 demonstrated international concerns about the continued credibility of the non-proliferation regime given the experiences of Iraq and North Korea. The time-scale was reflected in the working title "Programme 93+2" - two years beyond 1993. Iraq and North Korea were both Non-Nuclear-Weapon States (NNWS) party to the NPT and thus signatories to INFCIRC/153-type model protocols that NNWSs commit to agreeing with the IAEA to verify that nuclear facilities are used for peaceful purposes only. The scenario of an NPT member deliberately embarking on a clandestine programme to develop nuclear weapons was a reality with which the IAEA safeguards system had not been designed to cope.
