Warum es wichtig ist
The Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and promote peaceful uses of nuclear energy. The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or Iran nuclear deal, was an agreement between Iran and world powers to limit its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief.
China, in its latest Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) report, has urged the United States to demonstrate "sincerity" in resolving the Iranian nuclear issue. Concurrently, China has issued a warning regarding Japan's discussions on the potential possession of nuclear weapons.
The national report on the implementation of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons was published online by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday.
According to the report, military strikes conducted by the US and Israel against Iran in June of last year and again in February of this year "seriously violated international law and the purposes of the UN Charter."
The report specifically identified the United States' withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in 2018 – widely known as the Iran nuclear deal – as the "root cause" of the current tensions surrounding Iran's nuclear program.
