“The committee’s work program is adopted by consensus. There is none. The Iranian delegation stated that it was not ready to support the adoption of the program of work, ”RIA Novosti quoted Kuzmin as saying.
According to him, Iran argued its position by the issuance of visas, as well as restrictions on movement in the United States.
Earlier, the representative of Iran said that he could not agree to the adoption of the work plan of the Sixth Committee, since not a single member of the delegation had received a US visa.
It was also reported that the United States did not issue visas to 6-7 Russian delegates planning to participate in the United Nations First Committee on Disarmament and International Security.
