Motion to refer Iran to the Security Council

This poll is closed

Should Iran be referred to the MUN Security Council?

China would like all UN members to debate and vote on whether to bring Iran in front of the Security Council.

Iran has recently resumed it's nuclear research program, which has lead to concerns that it is developing nuclear technology for weapons, rather than nuclear power as Tehran insists. This comes amid such quotes from the President of Iran that he wants Isreal to be wiped off the map, and the holocaust did not happen.

For members wishing to be brought up to speed with whats going on I found this website very helpful:

Thank you,

The UN delegate for the People's Republic of China.

China would like to "bump" this poll, for fear it was forgotten so far down the table.

Australia agree's with the referal.
It doesn't seem right to stick it, because it's not an announcement, so:

*bump*

France would like to know what we intend to do should Iran be referred. In real life the most likely to happen is an SC resolution reaffirming what the GA has already said.

This is an unprecedented step in the MUN, and although it'll be nice to see some activity in the SC forum (none for three weeks), I'd like an idea of what SC members might be expected to do if the issue of Iran is referred to us.
The simple answer is: I'll post an SC thread asking what should be done about Iran.

I think we'll discuss the appropriate action, then vote on what we should do, then report it to the general assembly

Even the IISS and CIA have admitted Iran is 10 years from building a nuclear weapon. Therefore Serbia has voted against the motion.

Cuba wishes neither to side with radical capitalism nor uber-radical Islam in this particular "clash of civilizations", and does not feel qualified to judge whether Iran has the weapons or not.

I believe Serbia and Iran have signed a security agreement and have close relations, so no I am not suprised at Serbia.

Serbia also has a good relationship with Russia.

China wouldn't dare say unless China missed a step in China's research of countries stances and China would look a fool.

We will await the Secretary-General then.
