Summary:In addition to reaffirming the requirements set out in U.N. Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1737, the new resolution: * Establishes additional travel restrictions for persons involved in Tehran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs * Expands the number of individuals and organizations subject to UNSCR Resolution 1737's travel restrictions and assets freeze * Imposes a ban on arms exports from Iran * Calls upon countries to exercise restraint in transferring certain types of arms to Iran * Encourages countries and international financial institutions to halt new financial-assistance agreements and loans with the Iranian government AU of these measures are carefully targeted to isolate the Iranian regime and make it clear that Iran will face increasing costs for its continued defiance. Promoting Global Economic Growth Finally, international organizations encourage global economic growth by supporting our efforts to promote free markets, transparency and anti-corruption measures. * The World Trade Organization's work to liberalize trade and settle trade disputes, and the International Labor Organization's programs on small business and entrepreneurship also support our economic growth objectives by enabling developing countries to benefit from wider markets and by helping them create indigenous private sectors that can leverage the opportunities that such trade creates. * This year's budget includes a request to complement U.S. contributions to the UNDP and omer development activities with a $10 million founding donation to the U.N. Initiative for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (UNIIE). * UNIIE will employ technical assistance grants to encourage U.N. agencies, developing countries, business groups and non-government organizations to create positive entrepreneurial environments by advocating simplified property registration, liberalized access to credit, better enforcement of contracts, reformed labor markets, and easier business licensing.
