Resolving Nuclear Disputes Through Negotiation in International Law: Emphasizing Iran's Nuclear Dispute and the 5 + 1

Nuclear disputes are a type of international dispute that arises from the non-fulfillment of the obligations of states under nuclear rights treaties. In accordance with the legal-political nature of nuclear disputes, as well as the need for the peaceful settlement of international disputes, this form of dispute can also be resolved with the help of the methods set forth in Article 33 of the Charter. Based on this, the main objectives of this study are to explain the role, importance and efficiency of negotiation in resolving such disputes. Also, while studying the negotiating capacity in resolving the nuclear dispute between Iran and the 5 + 1, we will also address the issue of whether the negotiation was a useful mechanism in securing Iran's interests resulting from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action agreement. Obviously, negotiations will be useful in resolving nuclear disputes when, while observing the principles governing it, the level of power of the parties is such that the interests of the parties can be served in the negotiations. And secondly, in addition to the negotiators' level of strength and weakness of each side, they also have a correct understanding of the other side's goals in the negotiation.
