Iran’s Ambassador to the United Nations Majid Takht Ravanchi says he expected Iran’s draft resolution to be approved even more strongly at the General Assembly.

Iran’s Permanent Representative and Ambassador to the United Nations Majid Takht Ravanchi said that global nuclear disarmament can be done if there is a political will to do so.

In an interview for IRNA, on the occasion of the International Disarmament Week, Ravanchi confirmed that when the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) was implemented in 1970, the nuclear weapons states party to the treaty committed to eliminating their nuclear weapons, but they have refused to accept any timing on political grounds.

Iran’s biennial draft resolution entitled “Follow-up to nuclear disarmament obligations agreed to at the 1995, 2000, and 2010 Review Conferences of the Parties to the NPT” was approved on Thursday, October 28, in the First Committee of the UN General Assembly, with the majority of the member states voting in its favor. 

In this context, the top Iranian diplomat pointed out that the nuclear states and their allies voted against the resolution, which is clear proof that such states oppose nuclear disarmament and that America, "Israel", and the European Union were among the opponents of the draft resolution.

Iran’s draft resolution was approved by 108 yes votes, Ravanchi said, adding that he expected it to be approved even more strongly at the General Assembly.
