In The United Nations Security Council

The 15-to-0 vote for approval of the resolution - 104 pages long including annexes and lists — was written in Vienna
by diplomats who negotiated a landmark pact last week that limit Iran’s nuclear capabilities in exchange for ending the sanctions.

The European Union also approved the Iran nuclear deal on Monday, putting in motion the lifting of its own sanctions,
which include prohibitions on the purchase of Iranian oil.
Europe will continue to prohibit the export of ballistic missile technology and sanctions related to human rights.



The resolution takes effect in 90 days, a time frame negotiated in Vienna to allow Congress,
where members have expressed strong distrust of the agreement, to review it.

So, because of the Corker Bill co-sposored by GOP (non-)Presidential candidate Lindsey Graham, Obama will be able to veto Congress,
in what should have been regarded as enforcement of the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty with only the Senate to vote.

Oh good, who are they and why do they have a say so in my life? I would move to Africa or Belgium if I wanted to be under their control.

So . . .
Why hasn't Israel signed the treaty on the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons ?

If Israel were to sign the NPT (and, subsequently, admit to having nuclear weapons), it could present a few international relations problems.
Yes, we all have a good understanding that Israel has nuclear weapons, but most countries are willing to look the other way
as long as Israel doesn't go around talking about it. The United States, . . . prefers the ambiguous position Israel currently takes
because it affords them the ability to support Israel without having to do anything about the nuclear question.

I have always known Israel has nuclear weapons capability (since 1949 ?) . . . even if sorta "off the radar" to much of the U.S. public at least.

But, I had no idea that Israel was not an original signatory state in 1968 to The Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons,
commonly known as just the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT . . .as I would have thought - and still is not.

Iran, under a different regime was, and still is, an original signatory state, hence the sanctions for enforcement of the NPT.
North Korea was a signatory state, but wanted to opt out with regime change, and a formal release by North Korea to be released out of the NPT
is suspended in a holding pattern.

Even the Palestinian state is now a signatory as I understand it.

EU and UN Security Council approve Iran deal

On the one hand, how could this be anything other than an international treaty requiring approval of the US Senate? It can't.

Unless... a person were to believe that US sovereignty is over, and all that is left is a global governing body.
