Resolution 1737 (2006)

Adopted by the Security Council at its 5612th meeting, on

23 December 2006

The Security Council,

Recalling the Statement of its President, S/PRST/2006/15, of 29 March 2006,

and its resolution 1696 (2006) of 31 July 2006,

Reaffirming its commitment to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear

Weapons, and recalling the right of States Party, in conformity with Articles I and II

of that Treaty, to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for

peaceful purposes without discrimination,

Reiterating its serious concern over the many reports of the IAEA Director

General and resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors related to Iran’s nuclear

programme, reported to it by the IAEA Director General, including IAEA Board

resolution GOV/2006/14,

Reiterating its serious concern that the IAEA Director General’s report of

27 February 2006 (GOV/2006/15) lists a number of outstanding issues and concerns

on Iran’s nuclear programme, including topics which could have a military nuclear

dimension, and that the IAEA is unable to conclude that there are no undeclared

nuclear materials or activities in Iran,

Reiterating its serious concern over the IAEA Director General’s report of

28 April 2006 (GOV/2006/27) and its findings, including that, after more than three

years of Agency efforts to seek clarity about all aspects of Iran’s nuclear

programme, the existing gaps in knowledge continue to be a matter of concern, and

that the IAEA is unable to make progress in its efforts to provide assurances about

the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran,

Noting with serious concern that, as confirmed by the IAEA Director General’s

reports of 8 June 2006 (GOV/2006/38), 31 August 2006 (GOV/2006/53) and

14 November 2006 (GOV/2006/64), Iran has not established full and sustained

suspension of all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities as set out in

resolution 1696 (2006), nor resumed its cooperation with the IAEA under the

Additional Protocol, nor taken the other steps required of it by the IAEA Board of

Governors, nor complied with the provisions of Security Council resolution

1696 (2006) and which are essential to build confidence, and deploring Iran’s

refusal to take these steps,

Emphasizing the importance of political and diplomatic efforts to find a

negotiated solution guaranteeing that Iran’s nuclear programme is exclusively for

peaceful purposes, and noting that such a solution would benefit nuclear non-

proliferation elsewhere, and welcoming the continuing commitment of China,

France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United

States, with the support of the European Union’s High Representative to seek a

negotiated solution,

Determined to give effect to its decisions by adopting appropriate measures to

persuade Iran to comply with resolution 1696 (2006) and with the requirements of

the IAEA, and also to constrain Iran’s development of sensitive technologies in

support of its nuclear and missile programmes, until such time as the Security

Council determines that the objectives of this resolution have been met,

Concerned by the proliferation risks presented by the Iranian nuclear

programme and, in this context, by Iran’s continuing failure to meet the

requirements of the IAEA Board of Governors and to comply with the provisions of

Security Council resolution 1696 (2006), mindful of its primary responsibility under

the Charter of the United Nations for the maintenance of international peace and

security,

Acting under Article 41 of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
