The resolution – co-sponsored by Algeria, Iraq, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Madagascar, Morocco, Namibia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, the Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates – was first introduced under the title “Israeli nuclear threat” in 1986 but was defeated by a vote at the IAEA General Conference. The amended 1987 draft made a direct reference to “recent information regarding the possession of nuclear weapons by Israel.” The resolution demanded that “Israel place all its nuclear facilities under IAEA safeguards in compliance with Security Council resolution 487 of 1981.”
