Kuwait underlines importance of UNSC Resolution 2231

NEW YORK, Dec 13 (KUNA) -- Kuwait stressed the importance of following up with implementation of UNSC Resolution 2231 by Iran and other nations as part of their international commitments to non-proliferation of nuclear weapons.
Three years ago, Kuwait welcomed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and UNSC Resolution 2231 despite its inability to meet all the region's needs, Kuwait's Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Mansour Al-Otaibi said in a speech in a Council session late Wednesday.
Security situations in some countries in the region are still instable, Al-Otaibi added, noting some countries continue to deal with outside interferences in their interior affairs.
Al-Otaibi also said Iran must shoulder its responsibilities in meeting all its commitments in accordance with the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, the Comprehensive Safeguard Agreement, and the additional Protocol to its IAEA agreement.
Meanwhile, the Kuwaiti senior diplomat affirmed rejection and denouncement of the ongoing hostile actions targeting Saudi Arabia's security and safety of its people through firing scores of ballistic missiles on Saudi-Yemeni border zones, reiterating Kuwait's firm stand in support of the Kingdom's security and stability.
Furthermore, Al-Otaibi stressed the importance of committing to non-interference in the internal affairs of states, in addition to respecting their sovereignty in accordance with UN Charter, International Law, and Neighbor Principle Law, resolving disputes peacefully, refraining from use of brute force and threats, and rejecting sectarianism.
