Breaking the Non-Proliferation Treaty

May 13th, 2008 · No Comments

Ali-Reza Moayeri (Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations) is critical of violation of Non-Proliferation Treaty by certain Western countries calling them real threat to international stability and security.

He cited negligence of disarmament by the nuclear states during an address to a two-week gathering on Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Treaty and repeated violations of NPT regulations by certain Western powers.

The ambassador said, according to the article six of the treaty, Western countries were committed to uphold disarmament, yet they have not only failed to fulfil their commitments, they are involved in stockpiling arsenals more than before.

He stressed that there was no logical or legal justification for existence of nuclear weapons while the US, Britain and France have based their military doctrines on nuclear weapons; Washington was the pioneer of violating the NPT regulations by developing its own nuclear arsenal and providing Israel with technical and engineering expertise to go ahead with its weapons program.

His address and request was ignored by Geneva, the United Nations and not published in any ‘western’ media outlet.
