Iran, Nuclear Weapons and International Law

Despite such assurance, however, the JCPOA is destined to cease to exist if nothing is done before October 2025.The author has researched on international law of nuclear non-proliferation for more than 40 years. He is currently a member of the UN International Law Commission (ILC) and an associate member of the Institut de droit international (IDI).
