伊朗是中东和平与安全的最大威胁。然而，安全理事会没有延长对伊朗的武器禁运，而是选择不作为，允许这个世界上最大的支恐国家购买武器。作为对三个会员国与以色列之间历史性和平条约的回应，本机构再次选择了不作为。联合国没有利用这一成就作为推动和平的催化剂，而是对此漠不关心。一个为保障和平与安全而创建的组织不应选择不作为。
Iran is the biggest threat to peace and security in the Middle East. Yet instead of extending the arms embargo on Iran, the Security Council has chosen inaction and to allow the world’s top State sponsor of terrorism to purchase weapons. In response to the historic peace treaties between three Member States and Israel, this institution again chose inaction. Rather than use this achievement as a catalyst to advance peace, the United Nations has responded with indifference. Inaction should not be an option for an organization created to guarantee peace and security.
