NON-PROLIFERATION: Iran, 0.75

The G8 receives a score of 0.75 for statements on Iran, without agreeing on imposing more sanctions onto the Islamic Republic. In their statement on political issues, the G8 urged Iran to meet its NPT, UN, and IAEA obligations “without further delay,” maintaining the need to find a diplomatic solution on the issue of Iran’s nuclear program. However, the leaders did not suggest further UN Security Council sanctions be imposed. This G8 Summit leads in to the UN General Assembly opening in September 2009 where leaders will decide whether to take further action on Iran.
