John Bolton: (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-pSugFGdgNU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">for Video click here<\/a>)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thank you very much.\u00a0 Thank you to the organizers, Madame Rajavi and others, for inviting us here today to this very important discussion.\u00a0 I think 2012 is going to be a dispositive year for Iran, for Iraq, for the broader region and perhaps the world because of developments taking place there. And I think that in many respects, what happens to Camp Ashraf and the MEK are as we say canaries in the coal mine.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to learn a lot by how these issues are resolved.\u00a0 Let me start first with Camp Ashraf and the disposition of the people there.\u00a0 You know, the United Nations is a culture of its own.\u00a0 I know how it operates.\u00a0 I understand why there are difficulties with dealing with the UN Assistance Mission in Iraq, in part because it sees itself as accredited to the government of Iraq.\u00a0 Part of its objective is to make sure it gets along with the government of Iraq.\u00a0 So I think it\u2019s very important as Madame Rajavi and others negotiate with Ambassador Kobler that those who want an equitable and correct result for Camp Ashraf understand what needs to be done to persuade the ambassador and the UN bureaucracy in New York that their principal responsibility is not making the government of Iraq happy, it\u2019s protecting the residents of Camp Ashraf.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_5704\" class=\" size-full wp-image-38476\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2012\/01\/IMG_5704.JPG\" border=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_5704.JPG 400w, https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_5704-300x175.JPG 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now number two, number two, UNAMI is not the only element of the United Nations involved here.\u00a0 The UN high commissioner for refugees has global responsibility for refugees.\u00a0 You know, the symbol of UNHCR is a picture of a refugee family with two human hands forming a roof over it, depicting HCR\u2019s mission of protection and assistance.\u00a0 The UNHCR doesn\u2019t operate under any illusions that it\u2019s responsible to member governments where refugee populations live.\u00a0 I think that the high commissioner for refugees really needs to take a look at the symbol on the flag in his office and remember that protection and assistance for the refugees comes before anything else.\u00a0 And I think members of the UN that care about that should be insisting on it.\u00a0 I\u2019d say a nice symbolic thing for the high commissioner to do would be to take his flag and get on a plane from Geneva and go to Baghdad and drive to Ashraf and plant that flag in Camp Ashraf.<\/p>\n<p>You know most, most refugees, most refugees come across international borders with little more than the clothes on their backs, and it\u2019s the responsibility of HCR to provide them with protection and to provide them with a place where they can take refuge until they\u2019re either moved to other countries or they can go back to their own country without fear of persecution.\u00a0 Camp Ashraf, in the world of the UNHCR, Camp Ashraf is not a problem.\u00a0 Camp Ashraf is an interim solution. And how, how tragic it would be, how\u00a0 how tragic it would be, what a stain, what a stain on the reputation of this Nobel Peace Prize winning agency to preside over a degradation in the living status and freedom and welfare of refugees.\u00a0 I just really don\u2019t think if the West and others put appropriate pressure on UNHCR that Commissioner Guterres really wants that to happen.\u00a0 And I think it\u2019s important that he understand that.<\/p>\n<p>Now let me turn to the question of Iraq.\u00a0 You know, there are those in the world who believe that the reduction of U.S. military capabilities and the withdrawal of American forces will contribute to international peace and security.\u00a0 I believe they are 100% wrong in that view, and there has not been, I think, a more tragic demonstration of the error of that way of thinking than to see what\u2019s happened in Iraq since the withdrawal of American forces.\u00a0 I have been amazed at the speed with which Nouri Al-Maliki\u2019s government has disregarded even the pretense of a free and open political system and the rule of law.\u00a0 American influence in Iraq today is dramatically reduced, but it\u2019s not absent.\u00a0 And if we don\u2019t exercise our influence, as other speakers have said, to make sure that the government of Iraq honors the commitment that the United States made to them, what conclusion will the regime in Tehran draw from that?\u00a0 What conclusion will they draw about American will and resolve?\u00a0 Especially when we look at the performance of this dictatorship in Tehran just in recent weeks: threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz through which so much vital oil is shipped into the international market; being indicted in the United States for conspiring to assassinate the Saudi Arabian ambassador on the streets of Washington; contributing to the killing of thousands of civilians in Syria; supporting that fascist dictator ship in Damascus; continuing to support international terrorists like Hezbollah and Hamas; and obviously, and worst of all, continuing to make progress toward its long-sought objective of nuclear weapons.\u00a0 You know, there\u2019s a lot of talk in the press these days about sanctions which the United States is going to impose, and sanctions which the European Union is considering.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t draw too much comfort from that talk about the sanctions because Iran is by the estimate of Secretary of Defense Panetta within one year of achieving that objective of getting nuclear weapons.\u00a0 U.S. sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran will not take effect for six months.\u00a0 They are subject to waiver provisions and the president of the United States himself said when he signed the legislation authoring those sanctions into law that he didn\u2019t believe he was constitutionally bound by them.\u00a0 So one can ask, in the race between Iran\u2019s effort to get nuclear weapons and our efforts to sanction them, who\u2019s going to win that race?\u00a0 It is a very, very dangerous situation we\u2019re in.\u00a0 And if there is any signal that the United States and Europe send to Iran that our will is failing on such a matter as humanitarian protection for innocent women, children and male civilians, I don\u2019t know what signal it will send on the nuclear weapons program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMG_5097\" src=\"images\/stories\/2012\/rajavi\/IMG_5097.JPG\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That brings us to the most important thing that the United States can do.\u00a0 You know I\u2019ve listened to some of my colleagues express their concern that maybe the State Department isn\u2019t quite up to the job of protecting the people at Ashraf.\u00a0 And the reason , I think, beyond anything else why the State Department has not been strong in carrying out its responsibilities to honor America\u2019s own word is because the State Department has not yet announced its decision on whether or not to delist the MEK as a foreign terrorist organization.\u00a0 You\u2019ve heard the other speakers say they know of no evidence why that listing should continue.\u00a0 I think that the issue here is really quite simple.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think that organizations should be put on that list for political purposes, as the MEK was in 1997.\u00a0 I don\u2019t think organizations should be kept on that list, as the MEK was in 2008, for political purposes.\u00a0 I think the facts should be allowed to fall where they may.\u00a0 If the State Department has facts that justify the listing, let\u2019s hear them.\u00a0 If it doesn\u2019t have any facts, delist the MEK and remove this pretense that Iran and the Al-Maliki government use to try to pressure the residents of Camp Ashraf.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And I\u2019ll just close with one final thought.\u00a0 I have a very simple view of America\u2019s role in the world.\u00a0 It is to lead in the defense of liberty.\u00a0 And in that connection I think it it should be\u2014and long since\u2014it should be the declared policy of the United States to overthrow the regime in Tehran.\u00a0 Thank you very much.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-pSugFGdgNU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">for Video click
