On the 28 December 2006 Israel has formally signed the United Nation Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism (CNT). The convention was signed by Ambassador Dan Gillerman, the Israeli representative to the United Nation, as part of Israel's ongoing efforts to combat terrorism of all varieties. It attests to the high importance Israel places on international cooperation in the fight against terrorism in all its aspects.

The signature follows the adoption of the CNT by the UN General Assembly on April 13, 2005. It addresses the unlawful possession or use of nuclear devices or materials by non-state actors. It calls for states to develop appropriate legal frameworks to criminalize nuclear terrorism-related offenses, investigate alleged offenses, and, as appropriate, arrest, prosecute, or extradite offenders. It also calls for international cooperation with nuclear terrorism investigations and prosecutions, through information-sharing, extradition and the transfer of detainees to assist with foreign investigations and prosecutions.
