"Madam President, the drive to prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons has been partially successful. Several countries such as Argentina and the Republic of South Africa have decided not to pursue programmes of this nature. Also, countries such as Belarus, Kazakhstan and Ukraine that inherited nuclear weapons following the break-up of the Soviet Union have generally determined not to use them. Unfortunately, however, this process has not received the support it needed to ensure its full success. A number of countries failed to sign the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and despite strong pressure by world public opinion have gone ahead and acquired such weapons. I have in mind Israel, Pakistan and India. As a result, other countries have determined to follow their example. We are today discussing one such country, namely Iran. The fears that the process may go further seem entirely justified and it is imperative to put an end to this domino effect. The European Union has now reached an impasse in its negotiations, and it is therefore vitally important to refer the matter to the United Nations. We must call on the UN Security Council to act swiftly and efficiently in this regard. It is also important to remember to whom we are indebted for information on the secret military nuclear programmes in Iran. The Iranian opposition brought this activity to the attention of world public opinion, and their significant contribution to this case should be duly recognised. I believe it would also be appropriate to consider another issue that has been outstanding for some time. It concerns declaring the Iranian Mujahedin a terrorist organisation. Parliament raised this thorny issue once before, and I hope the Council will take it up."@en1
