RIPE NCC Receives Communication from United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI)

On 7 September 2012, the RIPE NCC received a fax from United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) questioning whether our relationships with Iranian RIPE NCC members are in violation of United Nations (UN) or European Union (EU) sanctions against Iran.

The RIPE NCC is in contact with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure that we operate in accordance with Dutch law and all applicable international sanctions. Our advice from the Ministry has been that the RIPE NCC is not in violation of these sanctions. However, we will investigate in cases where new information is provided to us and we will ensure that changing circumstances do not place the RIPE NCC in violation of sanctions.

If you have any comments or queries regarding this issue, please post them to the NCC Services Working Group mailing list, or send an email to ncc@ripe.net.
