Nam backs right to nuke energy for all

Summit ends with call for creation of Palestine state, support for Iran on nuke issue amid UN pressure

AFP, Tehran
The Non-Aligned Movement (Nam) summit yesterday ended in Tehran backing the right of Iran and other states to peaceful nuclear energy as the UN upped it's ante against Iran over it's disputed nuclear programme.
Representatives from the 120 members of the Nam adopted a document that condemned unilateral sanctions, backed the right peaceful nuclear energy for all, and supported the creation of a Palestinian state, Iranian media reported.
The document also reportedly advocated nuclear disarmament, human rights free from political agendas and opposition to racism and "Islamophobia". The text was not available till late yesterday on the foreign ministrywebsite dedicated to the summit.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad chaired the closing ceremony, reflecting his country's presidency of the Nam for the next three years, after which it will pass to Venezuela.
With around 30 heads of state or

Ahmadinejad said the summit was "unique in quality and in the number of participants.”
But the nuclear issue came back to take a bite out of that goal, with the UN atomic watchdog releasing a report half way through the summit accusing Iran of having "significantly hampered” inspectors' efforts to investigate a suspect military site, Parchin.
The report also said Iran had in the past three months installed more than 1,000 uranium enrichment centrifuges in its fortified Fordo nuclear bunker that is one of the prime concerns of the United States and fellow permanent UN Security Council members.
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in his opening speech on Thursday, railed against the "dictatorship" oftheSecurityCouncil.
He said Iran would "never" cease its nuclear energy activities, which he asserted were
not aimed at developing nuclear weapons.
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi also rejected the Parchin allegations, telling the ISNA news agency they had "no technical basis" and that "one cannot clean a site" of nuclear work.
A member of the Iranian parliament's national security and foreign policy committee, Hossein Naqavi Hosseini, called the timing of the release of the International Atomic Energy Agency report "politically motivated."
UN chief Ban Ki-moon, who attended the summit over criticism from the United States and Israel, spent much of his visit hammering Iran's leaders for defying UN resolutions demanding that they curb their nuclear programme.
In speeches and meetings, he stressed "the cost of Iran's current trajectory" and said that" any country at odds with the international community... finds itself isolated from the thrust of common progress."
Ban warned that international tensions over the issue risked degenerating into "a war of violence," implicitly referring to Israeli and US
threats to possibly bomb Iran'snuclear facilities.
The UN chief also tackled Iran on its human rights record and suppression of political dissent.
He called on Tehran to release "opposition leaders, human rights defenders, journalists and social activists" to promote public discourse ahead of a 2013 presidential election to choose Ahmadinejad's successor.
On Syria, Ban urged all sides to stop fighting, but said the Damascus government "had the primary responsibility... to halt its use of heavy weapons."
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi, who handed over the Nam chair to Iran on Thursday in the first visit by an Egyptian head of state since Iran's 1979 Islamic revolution, also embarrassed Tehran on Thursday by publicly siding with the Syrian opposition.
He called the Syrian insurgency a struggle for democracy against an "oppressive" regime, in the same vein as the Arab Spring revolts that brought him to power in June.
The remarks prompted the Syrian government delegation at the summit to walk out during Morsi's speech.
