"The U.S. Congress is presently reviewing the Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action, a deal concluded on July 14, 2015, by Iran and the main world powers... The central issue is whether Iran will or will not be allowed to become a nuclear power. But other matters of considerable importance seem to have been kept away from the limelight: the impact of the JCPOA on the role and credibility of the United Nations...
UNSC Resolution 1566, passed on October 8, 2004... stresses the global obligations of all nations against states or organizations involved in terrorism... Considering that Iran has been the world's number one state sponsor and promoter of terrorist activities for a number of years ... it is inconceivable that world powers, led by the United States, could turn a blind eye to their international obligations and, by their silence, acquiesce to the ongoing atrocities instigated by Iran.
Worse still, the imminent lifting of sanctions and the release of billions of dollars to Iran under the provisions of the treaty, fly in the face of the equally binding UNSC Resolution 1373 of September 28, 2001, which calls for 'all States ... to prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts.' (Art. 1). No one but the most naive optimist doubts that part of this huge cash flow will be diverted by Iran to promote its terrorist activities. Again, the JCPOA is instrumental in scuttling essential anti-terror resolutions...
[T]he Islamic Republic of Iran remains a member of the United Nations in flagrant violation of the UN Charter, which states: 'All Members shall refrain...from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state...' (Art. 2[4])...
And it is worrisome that the major world powers, led by the U.S. administration, have concocted the lame JCPOA agreement which, beyond all its flaws, casts a serious doubt -- by commission and omission -- on whatever credibility the United Nations still has as an international institution designed to preserve world peace and fair relations between its member states."
