               through an all-inclusive political process in Somalia, as envisaged in the
               Transitional Federal Charter, in order to consolidate stability, peace and
               reconciliation in the country and ensure that international assistance is as effective
               as possible;
                       2. Welcomes the initiative of the Transitional Federal Institutions to pursue

               convene urgently a national reconciliation congress involving all stakeholders
               including political leaders, clan leaders, religious leaders, and representatives of
               civil society, looks forward to the sustained and all-inclusive political process that is
               needed as a result of that commitment and that will help pave the way to democratic
               elections at the local, regional and national levels as set out in Somalia’s
               Transitional Federal Charter, and encourages those in the Transitional Federal

               Federal Institutions in pursuing an all-inclusive political process and reconciliation,
               and reiterates its intention to consider taking measures against those who seek to
               prevent or block a peaceful political process, threaten the Transitional Federal
               Institutions by force, or take action that undermines stability in Somalia or the

                 3.    Welcomes the signing of the military technical arrangement between the
           United Nations and Australia on 25 January 2007 under which the international
           security force ensures protection of United Nations premises and properties as well
           as a rapid response capacity for the UNMIT police;
                4.    Calls upon the Government of Timor-Leste, assisted by UNMIT, to

Annex II
                Elements of a long-term agreement

                       Our goal is to develop relations and cooperation with Iran, based on mutual
                respect and the establishment of international confidence in the exclusively peaceful
                nature of the nuclear programme of the Islamic Republic of Iran. We propose a fresh
                start in the negotiation of a comprehensive agreement with Iran. Such an agreement
                would be deposited with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and
                endorsed in a Security Council resolution.
                     To create the right conditions for negotiations,
                     We will:
                    • Reaffirm Iran’s right to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in
                      conformity with its obligations under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of
                      Nuclear Weapons (hereinafter, NPT), and in this context reaffirm our support
                      for the development by Iran of a civil nuclear energy programme.
                    • Commit to support actively the building of new light water reactors in Iran
                      through international joint projects, in accordance with the IAEA statute and
                      NPT.
                    • Agree to suspend discussion of Iran’s nuclear programme in the Security
                      Council upon the resumption of negotiations.
                     Iran will:
                    • Commit to addressing all of the outstanding concerns of IAEA through full
                      cooperation with IAEA.
                    • Suspend all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities to be verified by
                      IAEA, as requested by the IAEA Board of Governors and the Security Council,
                      and commit to continue this during these negotiations.
                    • Resume the implementation of the Additional Protocol.

                Areas of future cooperation to be covered in negotiations on a
                long-term agreement

           1.   Nuclear
                     We will take the following steps:

                Iran’s rights to nuclear energy
                   • Reaffirm Iran’s inalienable right to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes
                     without discrimination and in conformity with articles I and II of NPT, and
                     cooperate with Iran in the development by Iran of a civil nuclear power
                     programme.
                   • Negotiate and implement a Euratom/Iran nuclear cooperation agreement.

S/RES/1747 (2007)

               Light water reactors
                    • Actively support the building of new light water power reactors in Iran
                      through international joint projects, in accordance with the IAEA statute and
                      NPT, using state-of-the-art technology, including by authorizing the transfer of
                      necessary goods and the provision of advanced technology to make its power
                      reactors safe against earthquakes.
                    • Provide cooperation with the management of spent nuclear fuel and
                      radioactive waste through appropriate arrangements.

               Research and development in nuclear energy
                    • Provide a substantive package of research and development cooperation,
                      including possible provision of light water research reactors, notably in the
                      fields of radioisotope production, basic research and nuclear applications in
                      medicine and agriculture.

               Fuel guarantees
                    • Give legally binding, multilayered fuel assurances to Iran, based on:
                        ◦ Participation as a partner in an international facility in Russia to provide
                          enrichment services for a reliable supply of fuel to Iran’s nuclear
                          reactors. Subject to negotiations, such a facility could enrich all uranium
                          hexaflouride (UF6) produced in Iran.
                        ◦ Establishment on commercial terms of a buffer stock to hold a reserve of
                          up to five years’ supply of nuclear fuel dedicated to Iran, with the
                          participation and under supervision of IAEA.
                        ◦ Development with IAEA of a standing multilateral mechanism for
                          reliable access to nuclear fuel, based on ideas to be considered at the next
                          meeting of the Board of Governors.

               Review of moratorium
                     The long-term agreement would, with regard to common efforts to build
               international confidence, contain a clause for review of the agreement in all its
               aspects, to follow:
                    • Confirmation by IAEA that all outstanding issues and concerns reported by it,
                      including those activities which could have a military nuclear dimension, have
                      been resolved;
                    • Confirmation that there are no undeclared nuclear activities or materials in
                      Iran and that international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of
                      Iran’s civil nuclear programme has been restored.

          2.   Political and economic
               Regional security cooperation
                    Support for a new conference to promote dialogue and cooperation on regional
               security issues.

8                                                                                07-28140

                                                                                S/RES/1747 (2007)

           International trade and investment
                Improving Iran’s access to the international economy, markets and capital,
           through practical support for full integration into international structures, including
           the World Trade Organization and to create the framework for increased direct
           investment in Iran and trade with Iran (including a trade and economic cooperation
           agreement with the European Union). Steps would be taken to improve access to
           key goods and technology.

           Civil aviation
                 Civil aviation cooperation, including the possible removal of restrictions on
           United States and European manufacturers in regard to the export of civil aircraft to
           Iran, thereby widening the prospect of Iran renewing its fleet of civil airliners.

           Energy partnership
                Establishment of a long-term energy partnership between Iran and the
           European Union and other willing partners, with concrete and practical applications.

                Support for the modernization of Iran’s telecommunication infrastructure and
           advanced Internet provision, including by possible removal of relevant United States
           and other export restrictions.

           High technology cooperation
                Cooperation in fields of high technology and other areas to be agreed upon.

               Resolution 1748 (2007)
               Adopted by the Security Council at its 5648th meeting on
               27 March 2007

                    The Security Council,
                    Recalling all its previous relevant resolutions, in particular resolutions 1595
               (2005), 1636 (2005), 1644 (2005), 1664 (2006), 1686 (2006), 1373 (2001) and 1566
               (2004),
                     Reaffirming its strongest condemnation of the 14 February 2005 terrorist
               bombing, as well as of all other attacks in Lebanon since October 2004, and
               reaffirming also that those involved in these attacks must be held accountable for
               their crimes,
                    Having examined the report of the International Independent Investigation
               Commission (S/2007/150) (“The Commission”), submitted pursuant to resolutions
               1595 (2005), 1636 (2005), 1644 (2005), and 1686 (2006),
                    Commending the Commission for the outstanding professional work it
               continues to accomplish under difficult circumstances in assisting the Lebanese
               authorities in their investigation into all aspects of this terrorist act,
                     Taking note of the letter of the Prime Minister of Lebanon of 21 February 2007
               to the Secretary-General (S/2007/159, Enclosure) requesting that the mandate of the
               Commission be extended for a further period of up to one year from 15 June 2007 in
               order to ensure stability and continuity in the investigative process, and noting the
               concurrent recommendation of the Secretary-General in this regard,
                     Noting the Commission’s conclusion that, in light of its current and planned
               investigative activities and while significant progress has been made, it is unlikely
               that the Commission will complete its work before its current mandate expires and
               that the Commission therefore welcomes the Lebanese request for an extension of
               its mandate beyond this date,
                     Willing to continue to assist Lebanon in the search for the truth and in holding
               all those involved in this terrorist attack accountable,
