The UN Has Become Part of the Problem

There is one word in the topic that has to be addressed before trying to analyzing the issue, and surprisingly enough it is not "Iran" and not "nuclear," but "allowed."

The formal situation is clear: under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), any country has the right to enrich uranium for civil nuclear power and to develop a nuclear research programs. What is forbidden is the higher level of enrich uranium needed for the developing of nuclear weapon. However, I am quite skeptical whether the inspection of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), like all other UN agencies, is effective, even to address the question of forbidden-allowed. The UN, unfortunately, has become part of the problem instead of being part of the solution, and undoubtedly it reflects the weakness of the international situation.
