"for my friends everything, for my enemies the law" this the western policy when it comes to human rights. I am of the opinion that every country with nuclear weapons is in violation of Article 3 of the UDHR. Why? because nuclear weapons are a threat to the security of persons around the world. Should nuclear war occur, the loss of life would be unprecedented, this is why I am fundamentally opposed to nuclear weapons.

But this article is interesting because two of the three countries trying to censure Iran for enriching uranium have nuclear weapons. Why should Iran abide by the nuclear arms deal signed in 2015 when the United States under Trump backed out? Clearly the criticism is pointed in the wrong direction. Why should the people of Iran be under constant threat of nuclear attacks while us in the West are not? If we want to say that human rights are for all, we should mean it.
