The internal situation in Iran has for a number of years given considerable cause for concern. Iran and its policy of breaching human rights, of failing to uphold the values of freedom and democracy and, most crucially, of failing to respect human life – at world level, at regional level and in Iran itself – has been an alarmingly destabilising influence. Against this backdrop, Iran’s nuclear activities are further cause for concern.
The EU has in recent years adopted the approach of an actively and openly cooperative diplomatic policy towards the Iranian authorities in the hope of achieving results. It could scarcely be said that this has been a success.
The resolution adopted today is a further effort in this vein, but the time has come for questions to be asked as to whether this is the only way forward, and whether it is necessary to broaden the international alliance in order to force Iran, using the weapon of diplomacy, to honour its international obligations and to respect minimum standards at national level. We shall be keeping a close eye on matters."@en1
