Iran to present updated WAVE version to UN: Official

Iran plans to put forward an updated version of a resolution based on President Hassan Rouhani’s proposal for the World Against Violence and Extremism (WAVE) to the United Nations General Assembly for ratification.

 

 
 
Iranian Ambassador to the UN Gholam Ali Khoshrou made the announcement on Thursday at a meeting of the General Assembly in New York. The Islamic Republic, he said, has held preliminary talks with several countries to pave the way for adoption of the updated draft.
 
In December 2013, the General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to approve President Rouhani’s WAVE proposal, which called on all nations across the globe to denounce violence and extremism. The Iranian president had made the proposal in his address to the UN Disarmament Conference in New York on September 25, 2013.
