Brussels, 13/07/2006 (Agence Europe) - Tired by Tehran's lack of will to find a compromise on nuclear activities, the foreign ministers of the Six -the five members of the UN Security Council, plus Germany - meeting in Paris on 12 July, decided to begin the process that could lead to UN sanctions being taken against Iran. “The Iranians have given no indication at all that they are ready to engage seriously on the substance of our proposals. Iran has failed to take the steps needed to allow negotiations to begin, specifically the suspension of all enrichment related and reprocessing activities,” says a press release. The Six, then, have “no choice but to return, to the United Nations Security Council and take forward the process suspended two months ago” and to “seek a United Nations Security Council Resolution which would make the IAEA-required suspension mandatory”. “Should Iran refuse to comply, then we will work for the adoption of measures under Article 41 of Chapter VII of the UN Charter” (which provides for economic and diplomatic sanctions, but does envisage the use of force). “Should Iran implement the decisions of the IAEA and the UN Security Council and enter into negotiations, we would be ready to hold back from further action in the UN Security Council,” adds the press release, before calling “once again” on Tehran to “respond positively” to the proposals from the Six.
