On 14 July 2015, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action between Iran and the P5+1 was announced. Under the framework, Iran will substantially reduce its stockpiles of nuclear material, limit its future production of nuclear materials, and accept the IAEA’s Additional Protocol. In return, the P5+1 and the U.N. Security Council will lift all nuclear-related economic sanctions against Iran. But what legal obligations does the deal contain? How will we ensure that Iran is complying with them? Does the deal strengthen international peace and security or is it rather a threat to it? And why have other nations not faced as much scrutiny as Iran? The panel discussion will address these and other important questions from a legal, political and diplomatic perspective.

Speakers:

- Sir Richard Dalton (British Ambassador to Iran 2002-2006; Associate Fellow, Middle East and North Africa Programme, Chatham House; President, British Iranian Chamber of Commerce)

- Ambassador Peter Jenkins, CMG (Partner, The Ambassador Partnership)

- Professor Daniel H. Joyner (Professor of Law, University of Alabama)

- Chair: Professor Marco Roscini (Professor of International Law, Westminster Law School)
