                                                                                27 December 2006

                Resolution 1737 (2006)
                Adopted by the Security Council at its 5612th meeting, on
                23 December 2006

                     The Security Council,
                      Recalling the Statement of its President, S/PRST/2006/15, of 29 March 2006,
                and its resolution 1696 (2006) of 31 July 2006,
                     Reaffirming its commitment to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear
                Weapons, and recalling the right of States Party, in conformity with Articles I and II
                of that Treaty, to develop research, production and use of nuclear energy for
                peaceful purposes without discrimination,
                      Reiterating its serious concern over the many reports of the IAEA Director
                General and resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors related to Iran’s nuclear
                programme, reported to it by the IAEA Director General, including IAEA Board
                resolution GOV/2006/14,
                     Reiterating its serious concern that the IAEA Director General’s report of
                27 February 2006 (GOV/2006/15) lists a number of outstanding issues and concerns
                on Iran’s nuclear programme, including topics which could have a military nuclear
                dimension, and that the IAEA is unable to conclude that there are no undeclared
                nuclear materials or activities in Iran,
                      Reiterating its serious concern over the IAEA Director General’s report of
                28 April 2006 (GOV/2006/27) and its findings, including that, after more than three
                years of Agency efforts to seek clarity about all aspects of Iran’s nuclear
                programme, the existing gaps in knowledge continue to be a matter of concern, and
                that the IAEA is unable to make progress in its efforts to provide assurances about
                the absence of undeclared nuclear material and activities in Iran,
                      Noting with serious concern that, as confirmed by the IAEA Director General’s
                reports of 8 June 2006 (GOV/2006/38), 31 August 2006 (GOV/2006/53) and
                14 November 2006 (GOV/2006/64), Iran has not established full and sustained
                suspension of all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities as set out in
                resolution 1696 (2006), nor resumed its cooperation with the IAEA under the
                Additional Protocol, nor taken the other steps required of it by the IAEA Board of
                Governors, nor complied with the provisions of Security Council resolution

            * Reissued for technical resons.

S/RES/1737 (2006)

               1696 (2006) and which are essential to build confidence, and deploring Iran’s
               refusal to take these steps,
                     Emphasizing the importance of political and diplomatic efforts to find a
               negotiated solution guaranteeing that Iran’s nuclear programme is exclusively for
               peaceful purposes, and noting that such a solution would benefit nuclear nonproliferation elsewhere, and welcoming the continuing commitment of China,
               France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United
               States, with the support of the European Union’s High Representative to seek a
               negotiated solution,
                    Determined to give effect to its decisions by adopting appropriate measures to
               persuade Iran to comply with resolution 1696 (2006) and with the requirements of
               the IAEA, and also to constrain Iran’s development of sensitive technologies in
               support of its nuclear and missile programmes, until such time as the Security
               Council determines that the objectives of this resolution have been met,
                    Concerned by the proliferation risks presented by the Iranian nuclear
               programme and, in this context, by Iran’s continuing failure to meet the
               requirements of the IAEA Board of Governors and to comply with the provisions of
               Security Council resolution 1696 (2006), mindful of its primary responsibility under
               the Charter of the United Nations for the maintenance of international peace and
               security,
                    Acting under Article 41 of Chapter VII of the Charter of the United Nations,
                     1.   Affirms that Iran shall without further delay take the steps required by the
               IAEA Board of Governors in its resolution GOV/2006/14, which are essential to
               build confidence in the exclusively peaceful purpose of its nuclear programme and
               to resolve outstanding questions;
                    2.    Decides, in this context, that Iran shall without further delay suspend the

               activities directly related to the items in subparagraphs 3 (b) (i) and (ii) above;
                    11. Underlines that nothing in the above paragraph requires a State to refuse
               its own nationals entry into its territory, and that all States shall, in the
               implementation of the above paragraph, take into account humanitarian
               considerations as well as the necessity to meet the objectives of this resolution,
               including where Article XV of the IAEA Statute is engaged;
                     12. Decides that all States shall freeze the funds, other financial assets and
               economic resources which are on their territories at the date of adoption of this

               and after notification by the relevant States to the Committee of the intention to
               make or receive such payments or to authorize, where appropriate, the unfreezing of
               funds, other financial assets or economic resources for this purpose, ten working
               days prior to such authorization;
                     16. Decides that technical cooperation provided to Iran by the IAEA or under
               its auspices shall only be for food, agricultural, medical, safety or other
               humanitarian purposes, or where it is necessary for projects directly related to the
               items specified in subparagraphs 3 (b) (i) and (ii) above, but that no such technical
               cooperation shall be provided that relates to the proliferation sensitive nuclear
               activities set out in paragraph 2 above;
                     17. Calls upon all States to exercise vigilance and prevent specialized
               teaching or training of Iranian nationals, within their territories or by their nationals,

           comprehensive agreement which would allow for the development of relations and
           cooperation with Iran based on mutual respect and the establishment of international

                    The Security Council,
                    Bearing in mind its primary responsibility under the Charter of the United
               Nations for the maintenance of international peace and security, and underlining the
               importance of taking measures aimed at conflict prevention and resolution,
                     Reaffirming its resolutions 1265 (1999), 1296 (2000) and 1674 (2006) on the
               protection of civilians in armed conflict and its resolution 1502 (2003) on protection

               courts, regardless of their nationality, or may hand them over for trial to another
               concerned State provided this State has made out a prima facie case against the said

S/RES/1738 (2006)

                     Drawing the attention of all States to the full range of justice and
               reconciliation mechanisms, including national, international and “mixed” criminal
               courts and tribunals and truth and reconciliation commissions, and noting that such
               mechanisms can promote not only individual responsibility for serious crimes, but
               also peace, truth, reconciliation and the rights of the victims,
                     Recognizing the importance of a comprehensive, coherent and action-oriented
               approach, including in early planning, of protection of civilians in situations of
               armed conflict. Stressing, in this regard, the need to adopt a broad strategy of
               conflict prevention, which addresses the root causes of armed conflict in a
               comprehensive manner in order to enhance the protection of civilians on a long-term
               basis, including by promoting sustainable development, poverty eradication,
               national reconciliation, good governance, democracy, the rule of law and respect for
               and protection of human rights,
                     Deeply concerned at the frequency of acts of violence in many parts of the
               world against journalists, media professionals and associated personnel in armed
               conflict, in particular deliberate attacks in violation of international humanitarian
               law,
                     Recognizing that the consideration of the issue of protection of journalists in
               armed conflict by the Security Council is based on the urgency and importance of
               this issue, and recognizing the valuable role that the Secretary-General can play in
               providing more information on this issue,
                     1.    Condemns intentional attacks against journalists, media professionals and
               associated personnel, as such, in situations of armed conflict, and calls upon all
               parties to put an end to such practices;
                     2.    Recalls in this regard that journalists, media professionals and associated
               personnel engaged in dangerous professional missions in areas of armed conflict
               shall be considered as civilians and shall be respected and protected as such,
               provided that they take no action adversely affecting their status as civilians. This is
               without prejudice to the right of war correspondents accredited to the armed forces
               to the status of prisoners of war provided for in article 4.A.4 of the Third Geneva
               Convention;
                     3.   Recalls also that media equipment and installations constitute civilian
               objects, and in this respect shall not be the object of attack or of reprisals, unless
               they are military objectives;
                     4.    Reaffirms its condemnation of all incitements to violence against
               civilians in situations of armed conflict, further reaffirms the need to bring to
               justice, in accordance with applicable international law, individuals who incite such
               violence, and indicates its willingness, when authorizing missions, to consider,
               where appropriate, steps in response to media broadcast inciting genocide, crimes
               against humanity and serious violations of international humanitarian law;
                    5.    Recalls its demand that all parties to an armed conflict comply fully with
               the obligations applicable to them under international law related to the protection
               of civilians in armed conflict, including journalists, media professionals and
               associated personnel;

2                                                                                06-68160

                                                                                S/RES/1738 (2006)

                6.     Urges States and all other parties to an armed conflict to do their utmost
           to prevent violations of international humanitarian law against civilians, including
           journalists, media professionals and associated personnel;
                7.    Emphasizes the responsibility of States to comply with the relevant
           obligations under international law to end impunity and to prosecute those
           responsible for serious violations of international humanitarian law;
                8.    Urges all parties involved in situations of armed conflict to respect the
           professional independence and rights of journalists, media professionals and
           associated personnel as civilians;
                 9.   Recalls that the deliberate targeting of civilians and other protected
           persons, and the commission of systematic, flagrant and widespread violations of
           international humanitarian and human rights law in situations of armed conflict
           may constitute a threat to international peace and security, and reaffirms in this
           regard its readiness to consider such situations and, where necessary, to adopt
           appropriate steps;
                10. Invites States which have not yet done so to consider becoming parties to
           the Additional Protocols I and II of 1977 to the Geneva Conventions at the earliest
           possible date;
                 11. Affirms that it will address the issue of protection of journalists in armed
           conflict strictly under the agenda item “protection of civilians in armed conflict”;
                12. Requests the Secretary-General to include as a sub-item in his next
           reports on the protection of civilians in armed conflict the issue of the safety and
           security of journalists, media professionals and associated personnel.
