NCRI – The UN Secretary General has once again stressed that the Iranian regime must prove that its nuclear program is devoid of military dimensions while fully complying with Security Council resolutions.
In an interview with Radio Free Europe on Tuesday in Astana, ahead of the summit of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), Ban Ki-moon said, “The onus is on [the] Iranian authorities to prove themselves that their purpose is not the military dimension, [that it is for] peaceful purposes. That’s their responsibility.”
He added, “I have been urging the Iranian authorities to fully comply with relevant Security Council resolutions. I have been urging them to fully cooperate with the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency].”
He also raised concern about the abysmal human rights situation in Iran, saying, “There have been many concerns raised about Iranian human rights situations, including arbitrary arrests and detentions and, possibly, tortures.”
“All these should be rectified in accordance with international human rights and humanitarian standards,” the UN Secretary General added.
