If we are able to put the authority and information together and bring to closure (the) issue peacefully and avoid a war I think that would be the best outcome for everybody concerned.

I would urge Iran in the coming weeks to show proactive and accelerated cooperation, and to demonstrate full transparency by providing the agency with a complete and accurate declaration of all its nuclear activities,
|
It is urgent and indispensable that we continue to build a global security system that is both equitable and inclusive.
|
We are the ones who have the most credibility, not because we're the only ones who are trustworthy but because of who we are -- we are the representatives of the international community; we have the independence and impartiality that create that credibility,
|
This is simply a new phase of diplomacy, an extension of diplomatic efforts to find a solution.
|
Unfortunately the picture is still hazy and not very clear as to the scope of the program and the nature of the program.
|
The Nobel Peace Prize is a powerful message. A durable peace is not a single achievement, but an environment, a process and a commitment.
