Quote: “The resolution also empowers states to seize and dispose the prohibited items,” a Nigerian official said.

11.13.2010

Nigeria is required to dispose of the 13 containers of military grade weapons seized at the Lagos port three weeks ago, Nigerian diplomats at the United Nations (UN) have said.
Nigerian officials at the UN, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that UN Security Council Resolution 1929 (Iran), among others, placed a  conventional arms ban on Iran.


Iranian Embassy officials in Abuja had admitted that the illegal arms shipment, containing rockets, rifle rounds, grenades and explosives, originated from their country. The resolution was adopted on June 9 by a vote of 12 in favour to two against (Brazil and Turkey), with one abstention (Lebanon).
The sanction was the fourth against Iran over its lack of compliance with previous resolutions on ensuring the peaceful use of its nuclear programme.


“Resolution (1929) recommends all states to inspect all cargo to and from Iran in accordance with the Convention on the Law of the Sea and Civil Aviation agreements for prohibited items, including banned conventional arms or sensitive nuclear or missile items.
“It expects states to report within five days explanations for the search and the findings from such inspections (prohibited items).
“The resolution also empowers states to seize and dispose the prohibited items,” a Nigerian official said. 
At press time on Friday, Nigeria had not officially reported the matter to the Security Council Sanctions Committee on Iran, headed by Tsuneo Nishida, the Permanent Representative of  Japan to the UN.


Foreign Affairs Minister Odein Ajumogobia had indicated at a news conference in Abuja that Nigeria would report Iran to the UN Security Council.
NAN was reliably  informed late on Thursday that Nigeria's Permanent Representative to the UN, Prof. Joy Ogwu, was preparing a report to the council on the matter.
She was said to be awaiting an official directive from Abuja.


Ogwu was said to have met with the Iranian Ambassador to the UN, Mr Mohammad Khazaee, early last week amid ongoing investigations in Abuja over the Iranian connection to the arms shipment.
Her aide had admitted that the meeting, held at the Nigeria House in New York, discussed an upcoming debate in the council about ``human rights'' in Iran.
On Oct. 26, Nigeria's State Security Service (SSS) operatives discovered the 13 containers of illegal weapons at the Lagos port.

US to Assist Nigeria’s Probe of Seized Weapons
From Tokunbo Adedoja in New York, 11.13.2010

The international dimension of the interception of arms shipment into Nigeria from Iran is gradually unfolding with the declaration by United States to assist Nigeria with investigation into the matter.
Also, United Nations Secretary General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, has named an eight-man panel of experts on Iran as specified by Security Council Resolution 1929 (2010) in respect of the sanctions imposed on the Middle East country over  her nuclear programme. Included on the panel of experts is a Nigerian, Major General Ishola Williams (rtd).


Answering questions from journalists at the State Department in Washington, Assistant Secretary, Bureau of Public Affairs, Mr. Philip Crowley, said: "We have talked to the Nigerian government about the discovery of significant arms."


The top US official also said he was not aware of any particular role played by his country in the interception of the arms, but added that US would “obviously encourage and assist Nigeria in any way that we can with its investigation.”
While acknowledging that there is an ongoing investigation by Nigerian security agencies into the issue, Crowley said: “if these reports are true, these are potential violations of Security Council resolutions, including 1929”.


Apparently referring to the stipulations of Paragraph 17 of Security Council Resolution 1929 which requires all states to inform the council of any such arms discovery and seizure from Iran, the US official said: “I think there’s been a public statement by the Nigerian foreign minister that Nigeria will do what is necessary.”
Though Resolution 1929 was passed in June, a panel of experts required to carry out the tasks as specified in paragraph 29 was not constituted, and analysts believe that the constitution of the panel by Ki-moon may be in anticipation of Nigeria's formal notification to the sanctions committee on the intercepted arms.


Other members of the panel as contained in the letter addressed to the President of the Security Council, Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant, include Mr. Jonathan Brewer (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland), Mr. Kenichiro Matsubayashi (Japan), Ms. Jacqueline W. Shire (United States of America), Ms. Elena G. Vodopolova (Russian Fede-ration), Mr. Christof Wegner (Germany), Mr. Wenlei Xu (People’s Republic of China) and Ms. Salomé Zourabichvili (France).
The UN Scribe also designated Zourabichvili to serve as coordinator of the newly constituted panel of experts.
Thirteen containers, originating from Iran and labelled as "packages of glass wool and pallets of stone" but loaded with rocket launchers, grenades, high caliber guns and ammunition, were intercepted at Lagos port in October by Nigerian Security operatives.


Resolution 1747 (2007), adopted by the Security Council at its 5647th meeting on March 24, 2007 against Iran's nuclear programme, mandates all states to prohibit the procurement of any arms from Iran by their nationals, just as its forbids Iran from supplying or selling any arms.
