![]() Vitaly Churkin Russian Ambassador to the United Nations With the conclusion of talks in Vienna and the withdrawal of the Iranian delegation understandably after an attack on their nuclear energy program it is the intention of the Russian Federation to see a partial lifting of sanctions included as part of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1929 which was passed on June 9, 2010 actively against the Islamic Republic of Iran and a total repeal of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1737 which froze all finances relating to Iran's nuclear energy program in 2006. By lifting the financial freeze this body will demonstrate good faith to the Islamic Republic of Iran despite the regrettable and totally condemnable attacks on the Iranian nuclear program, to return to the table and work to ensure their nuclear program is working towards peaceful energy purposes for the good of the region and intenrational stability and peace. This assurance is critical to moving discussions forward and moreover can just as easily be reinstated should our efforts of good faith fall short. Therefore, we call for: 1. Partial repeal of travel bans and financial freezes in UNSC Resolution 1929 2. Total repeal of UNSC Resolution 1737 on the condition that Iran must return to the table of negotiations within six months. These two items will push our talks forwards and ensure fruitfulness as we move to find a lasting solution to regional peace and security as it applies to the Islamic Republic of Iran, |

Ambassador to the United Nations Washington is in support of the proposal presented by Ambassador Churkin and calls for other members of the UNSC to support this as well as continue participation in the P5+1 talks with Iran. |

Gerard Araud Ambassador, Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations Iran has not agreed to anything, and it is the position of France that the repeal of UNSC Resolution 1737, and partial repeal of UNSC Resolution 1929 is to much in order to entice Iran back to the negotiating table. For France to be able to vote in favour of this, and that is to be considered not outright oppose it, Iran needs to do more than return to the negotiating table. |

Sergei Lavrov Foreign Minister Russian Federation It is not Iran that needs to act at this juncture but instead the international community must act to bring Iran back to the table. France should remember the attack that occured unprovoked on Iran's nuclear energy program in clear dismissal of these talks, the Iranian reaction was both understandable and reasonable and therefore it is the responsibility of each member here to make a good faith effort to show good faith to Iran and a commitment to peace within this region. If we cannot do even this then what incentive does Iran have to return and engage with us? The point of the original talks in Vienna was to utilize diplomacy as a vehicle for accomplishing our goals, diplomacy should still be our objective and should still be the vehicle we utilize to accomplish a plan with Iran. The proposal I have put forward includes the full repeal on the condition that within six months time Iran returns to the table to negotiate, these sanctions can easily be put back in place should the Iranians refuse or fail to cooperate with us on this matter. |

___ Luxembourg wants to point out that the Russian representative refers to the attack on an Iranian scientist, and stated that this in clear dismissal of the talks, however might I point out that the attacker could come from all sources. Until a thorough investigation into the attack has been conducted I would suggest Russia refrains from making such suggestive comments and only stick to the facts. Luxembourg also has several issues with the Iranian nuclear program, namely its civilian program is mostly based upon light water reactors, but certain elements have been using heavy water reactors and technology. A reason that Iran itself cannot even clarify and defend, as it makes little to no sense. All but one of the worlds civilian nuclear programs are based upon light water reactors, so the reason that Iran is choosing a heavy water reactor is at the least highly controversial. |

Sergei Lavrov Foreign Minister Russian Federation It matters little who the attack comes from, the attack has occurred and that attack by whomever showed a disregard for these talks that are in progress, now is not the time for us to argue semantics regarding why Iran left the talks because that matter is very open and shut. However it is time for us to use the tools available to us to make a pragmatic effort to bring Iran back to the table of negotiation so that we can have a positive resolution to this matter that is favorable to all sides. Let us be clear on something, Iran must be brought back to the table so that these talks can continue forwards as planned anything short of that would be a misstep by this community. The Russian Federation believes that this proposal is adequate in assuaging any doubts that Iran may have about the sincerity that this body has in finding a peaceable resolution. The current resolution will give Iran 6 months after its passage to come back to the table which is an adequate period for the Iranian government to prepare its remarks and its presentation for this body. |

Gerard Araud Ambassador, Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations Minister Lavrov, France understands your position in the regard that it is important to bring about a continuance of the P5+1 talks, but can not, and will not, agree to a repeal of UNSC Resolutions that has been taken by this body, just to show good faith and to try and get Iran to negotiate with the world community. If those resolutions is to be repealed, then Iran has to show more then "good will" by returning to the negotiating table. They need to show that they are willing to fulfill the demands put upon them by the resolutions, and not only by words, but by action. |

Sergei Lavrov Foreign Ministers Russian Federation If the international community is unwilling to show good faith to Iran after the terrorist attack which has occurred then there is no need for talks as some members of this chamber seem intent on doing their own thing rather than working for the good of the dialogue and negotiations which are fundamentally important to ensuring the long-term peace and stability of the region. We stand by the Islamic Republic of Iran on this matter and we believe that good faith must be shown in order to accomplish this. |

___ Luxembourg would like to suggest an independent investigation into the attack and would like to call upon the international community to approve such a plan. While to Moscow it is not important who committed the attack, I believe such to be of vital importance. Especially since it has resulted in Iran walking away from the talks. With that said I would like to indicate that the international community has not been unwilling to show good faith towards Iran, but that Iran refrained from responding to the offers made, due to the attack. While I also call upon Iran to clarify why it is so persistently clinging to obtaining heavy water technology, while all but one of the world's nuclear programs are based upon light water technology. To address this issue in a satisfactory manner, would take away a lot of the controversy surrounding the Iranian program. To return to the topic on hand I can state that Luxembourg does support a partial repeal of the sanctions against Iran. As you yourself clearly state Mr. Lavrov, you are standing by Iran in this matter, and that is exactly one of our concerns. While we are willing to support a partial repeal of the sanctions, as a show of good faith, I am somewhat reluctant to do such due to the fact that Moscow could veto any new resolution concerning the matter, should Iran refrain from cooperating with the international community in this matter. |

Sergei Lavrov Foreign Minister Russian Federation The Russian Federation has no desire to veto any return to sanctions should Iran refuse to come to the table of negotiations after six months time, we are working currently to figure out who was responsible for the attack on Iran and work to apply appropriate sanctions or pressure on the nation responsible for such a violation of national sovereignty. Which is most unacceptable. |
