According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency, Mikhail Ulyanov, Russia’s permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna, announced on the social media platform X that the United Kingdom, France, adn Germany have threatened to trigger the snapback mechanism to reinstate previous sanctions against Iran.
The Russian representative continued by urging a temporary suspension of legal and procedural considerations- which clearly do not grant these three European countries the right to proceed- and suggested analyzing the matter purely from a political perspective.
Ulyanov added that it raises the question of whether these three European nations have an exit strategy or any plan for resolving what they intend as a deadlock. He indicated that the answer appears negative.
Earlier,he stated that Britain,Germany,and France are attempting to pressure Iran by threatening to activate the so-called ”snapback” mechanism outlined in United Nations Security Council Resolution 2231 before August ends. However, ther is a significant obstacle preventing this threat’s implementation. The trio-which represents Europe’s side in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal-is itself violating Resolution 2231 and the Joint Extensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). Therefore, legally speaking, as violators they lack authority to initiate snapback.
The doctrine of good faith in international law prohibits any party from claiming rights under an agreement while simultaneously neglecting its obligations under that same agreement. (Referencing the International court of Justice advisory opinion on legal consequences for states regarding South Africa’s continued presence in Namibia despite UNSC resolution 276 [1970]). Simply put, attempts by these three European countries (the UK, Germany, and France) to trigger snapback despite their own noncompliance with UNSC Resolution 2231 fundamentally contradict core principles of international law.
