Mogherini: EU, UN will continue supporting JCPOA
By Trend
EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said Wednesday that the European Union and the United Nations as champions of dialogue and cooperation will continue supporting the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, IRNA reports.
Speaking on the occasion of United Nations Day, which marks the
entry into force of the UN Charter in 1945, Mogherini said
'Together, the EU and UN have been, are and will be the strongest
champions of dialogue and cooperation.
'This is why we will continue to defend multilateral diplomacy and
its achievements, from the Iran nuclear deal to the Paris agreement
on climate change, and to support the essential work of all UN
agencies.'
She went on to say 'International rules, organizations and
jurisdictions are a guarantee for all. That's why we will always
continue to invest in a strong UN system. Together – as we
celebrate UN Day – we will stay a force for change.'
Since the US unilateral withdrawal of the JCPOA on May 8, the
European Union has continued backing the international pact and
ensuring that Iran would be able to receive the economic benefits
of the deal.
The EU announced that its new mechanism to facilitate payments for
Iranian exports would be legally in place by Nov. 4, when the next
phase of U.S. sanctions hit.
