NAM rejects forwarding Iran`s nuclear case to Security Council

IRNA

Vienna, Sept 6, IRNA -- Ambassadors from member countries of the 
Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) rejected here Friday the idea of 
submitting a report to the United Nations Security Council on Iran`s 
nuclear programs. 
A diplomatic source at the International Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA), talking to IRNA under the condition of anonymity, said 
the NAM member countries in a statement supported Iran`s constructive 
cooperation with the IAEA. 
"NAM ambassadors unanimously rejected issuing a resolution that 
Iran is not committed to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and 
to refer Iran`s case to the Security Council," the source said. 
The statement called for continuation of cooperation and 
constructive talks between Iran and the agency to settle the issue 
in the framework of the IAEA`s regulations. 
Washington had circulated a draft resolution among members of the 
governing board of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) 
declaring Iran in "non-compliance" with UN nuclear obligations. 
If the resolution had found favor and been approved by the 
IAEA board at its meeting next week, the board would have been 
required to report Iran to the Security Council. 
The Board of Governors are scheduled to hold a meeting here on 
September 8 to discuss a report by the IAEA head Mohamed ElBaradei.
