The US, Britain, France and Germany have drafted a resolution for possible consideration by the Board of Governors of the UN nuclear watchdog that seeks to refer Iran to the UN Security Council for failure to comply with its nuclear non-proliferation obligations, diplomats have told The Associated Press news agency.
– Under those obligations, which are part of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Iran is legally bound to declare all nuclear material and activities and allow inspectors of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to verify that none of it is being diverted from peaceful uses, according to the AP report.
– The draft resolution requests IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi to transmit this resolution and the previously adopted resolutions to all Members of the Agency and to the Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the IAEA Statute.
– Diplomats said that the resolution is still under negotiation and has not yet been formally submitted to the board. The text of the draft resolution may therefore still change, as board members still have the opportunity to suggest amendments.
