Participant

Someone who participates or doesn't. We are in the Trump era, and any nonsense can be produced really. See the example below by Brian Hook.

So our right as a participant is something which exists independently of the JCPOA. There is no qualification in 2231 where “participant” is defined in a way to require participation in the JCPOA; and if the drafters wanted to make the qualification, they could have, but they did not. And so under a plain reading of 2231, any participant has the right under paragraph 11 to exercise those rights in the event of a dispute or other scenarios. And so this is not – I mean, I’ve been working on UN Security Council resolutions for years. This is the plain reading of the text.
