The convention to revise the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was lau nched today in New York. This session is being held with hints of amending the treaty, which the Arabs have reservations about. The observers questioned the success of this session, which is being held after signing a new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (SART II) and the Nuclear Security Summit that the White House hosted last month. "Put an end to the nuclear arms now." For the sake of this message those people went out in New York streets on the eve of the city hosting a convention to revise the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, with the pa rticipation of representatives from one hundred and eighty- nine countries. The convention will be in session until the end of the month. Bu t the protesters' demands seem radical concerning the agenda of the convention. It is held at regular intervals, every five years, to discuss and review the progress the treaty has accomplished. Although eradication of the nuclear arms is one of the convention goals, reality dictates it to be an unattainable dream. What will transpire is, Iran and its unclear dossier will be in the headlines of the events, in part icular, because of the presence of Mahmud Ahmadinijad, the only participating president in the convention. The Iranian President stated tha t he came carrying Iranian suggestions to reform the treaty. He stressed before his departure, Iran rejection of nuclear arms. "The greatest danger that threatens the world security is the production and stockpiling of nuclear arms. Unfortunately nothing was done to prevent the p roliferation, however, some countries were refused the right to possess the nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Thus we will pres ent suggestions to protect the world safety." But it seems that the visit does not please the American Secretary of State. She considered i t an attempt from Teheran to confound, as she called it, its violation of the treaty. "I don't know what is he showing up for. Because the pu rpose of the convention is to revise the Nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty and confirm the commitment of the international community t o carry out the three goals; disarmament, nonproliferation, peaceful use of the nuclear energy. I believe the Iranians came to draw away the attention." Besides the Iranian nuclear dossier, or rather seizing the opportunity, a new Arab attempt appeared to draw the attention to Israel, which is immune on technicality, since it did not sign from the start the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Egypt presented a plan that is supported by the non-aligned states to deem the Middle East a nuclear free zone. To include Iran and Israel. In addi tion the Egyptian Ambassador at the United Nations stressed that the reviewing session must deal with the two nuclear dossiers, the Iranian and the Israeli at the same time." Dr. Bashar Ja'afari, Permanent Delegate of Syria at the United Nations, joins us from New York. Dr. Bashar, what are the Arab reservations and remarks regarding the amendment suggested to the Nuclear Non-Pr oliferation Treaty? Good morning. Truthfully the Arab remarks relate mainly to preventing some nucle ar states from interpreting some articles of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, in particular those related to Article Four that state s the right of the states to use the nuclear energy for peaceful purposes, and Article Ten that states withdrawing from the treaty if one of the member-states found, it is in his interest as a political strategy to do so. There is also the desire of some to replace the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is essentially the one concerned in executing the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, by the Security Cou ncil. In other word[s], involve the Security Council in matters of nuclear non-proliferation and nuclear disarmament, as an alternative to the International Atomic Energy Agency. Also the matter of adding or imposing an additional compulsory protocol as an alternative to the agreement of comprehensive conventions of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. The Arab block and the non-aligned states bloc k took a strong position concerning all these very sensitive questions since the 1995 convention. Do these fears have any connection to the so-called Russian-American document th at was presented to the Arab League as a condition of a comprehensive disarmament of weapons of mass destruction on behalf of Israel, against a comprehensive peace on behalf of the SCOLA, 21557 270th Street, McClelland, IA USA Website:www.scola.org Email: Insta-class@scola.org Phone: (712) 566.2202 Fax: (7 12) 566.2502 SCOLA Insta-Class Arabic (Al-Jazeera) Page 3 of 5SCOLA Insta-Class Arabic (Al-Jazeera) Page 3 of 5 Arabs?
