Iran helps oversee nonproliferation conference

Iran has been selected as one of the 34 vice president nations of the United Nations Nonproliferation Treaty conference that commenced on Monday. This despite the fact that Iran has refused to cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency and thus violated this same treaty in its pursuit of nuclear weapons. Christopher Yeaw, U.S. assistant secretary of state for arms control and nonproliferation, said it was “indisputable that Iran has long demonstrated its contempt for the non-proliferation commitments of the npt.” Decisions like this reveal the ineptitude, hypocrisy and corruption of the UN. At its very founding, the late Herbert W. Armstrong warned that the institution would fail to bring unity.
