On Nov 19, the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution condemning the gross and systematic violation of human rights in Iran, with 79 votes in favor and 28 against. This is the 72nd United Nations resolution condemning the crimes of the clerical regime in Iran. This resolution for the first time condemns the disappearances, executions, and destruction of evidence of the 1988 massacre in Iran. Aslo the UN atomic watchdog on Thursday Nov. 20, demanded that Irania regime fully cooperate with the agency and provide “precise information” about its stockpile of near weapons-grade uranium, as well as grant its inspectors access to Iranian nuclear sites. The development sets the stage for a likely further escalation between the U.N. nuclear agency and Iran, which has reacted strongly to similar moves by the watchdog in the past. Nineteen countries on the International Atomic Energy Agency’s 35-member board of governors voted for the resolution at the IAEA’s headquarters in Vienna.
