Iran becomes UNSCEAR permanent member
On November 10, 2021, the Islamic Republic of Iran became a permanent member of The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, despite opposition from the Israeli regime and US.
Following several rounds of negotiations on the draft resolution submitted by Australia to the Special Political and Decolonization Committee and its unanimous approval in the UN General Assembly, the Islamic Republic of Iran could upgrade its position from an observer in this prominent international scientific institution to full membership.
Due to the limitations related to the process of joining this scientific committee, which is mainly run by the Western countries, the Islamic Republic of Iran began its diplomatic activities and consultations at the 66th session of the UN General Assembly in 2011 and finally, after several rounds of negotiations in recent years, Iran's permanent and full membership has been approved at this year's General Assembly.
The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) was established under Resolution 913 (x) on December 3, 1955, to collect and evaluate information on the nuclear radiation to which humans are exposed and the possible effects of such exposure.
Currently, 27 countries, including Argentina, Australia, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, India, South Korea, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Spain, Sudan, Sweden, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and the United States are permanent members of the committee, which will increase to 31 permanent members by converting four observer members (Iran, Norway, Algeria and the UAE).
