      First, thank you for posting that. Second, you should be seeing the problem with it. Its not the UN, as a governing body, saying that.

      From your source:

      " the group of Special Rapporteurs and the Independent Expert on international solidarity, said in a statement."

      This is a group of people hired by the HRC, not even a binding UN resolution either. The HRC is following its mandate to: "strengthening the promotion and protection of human rights ". They call out the results of actions, without addressing the reasons or actions to solutions to why those actions were taken. They’re not wrong, but their statements are incomplete. Its okay for them though, its not their mandate to come up with solutions, just to call out problems.

      Where is the UN’s enforcement answer to curtailing Iran’s nuclear weapons program? This is hard and confusing world or geopolitics.

        The UN still sanctions their nuclear ambitions. Which I agree with, because it’s the UN. America is unilaterally doing the economic sanctions, which they do not agree with. It would be difficult for the UN to vote to condemn the US due to the structure of the organization (US led). So they have to do it with press releases. They did vote on the Cuban embargo and blockade. And every member country except the US and Israel voted to end it.
