SUBJECT: CANADA SUPPORTS IRAN NONCOMPLIANCE RESOLUTION AT
SEPTEMBER IAEA BOG
REF: STATE 245961
Classified By: POLMIN COUNSELOR BRIAN FLORA. REASON 1.5 (B) AND (D)
1. (C) Canadian DFAIT Nuclear Non-Proliferation Deputy
Director Terry Wood assured us that the GOC fully supports a
finding of noncompliance at the September IAEA Board of
Governors meeting and wants to assist in any way possible.
Though Canada already was inclined to support a resolution,
Wood said, the DG's report on Iran released August 26 makes
such a finding imperative.
2. (C) Canada is prepared to lobby other BoG members that
remain unconvinced -- in capitals as deemed necessary. Wood
recommends the lobbying take place this week, and in
coordinated manner, to assure maximum impact and
effectiveness. He added that DFAIT and the Canadian Mission
at UNVIE discussed the matter at length yesterday and are in
synch on this approach.
