here<\/a>.<\/p>\nIts main conclusion is that the legal position expressed by the remaining JCPOA participant States, that the United States is not entitled to initiate the \u2018snapback\u2019 mechanism since it is no longer a JCPOA participant, is legally correct. It shows that the US claims rest on an understanding of the term \u2018JCPOA participant\u2019 that is supported neither by textual interpretation, nor by contextual interpretation, nor by the subsequent practice of the remaining JCPOA participant States. The consequence is that the United States\u2019 attempted \u2018notification\u2019 of 20 August 2020 is incapable of having any legal effect under international law, and consequently cannot bring into effect the \u2018snapback\u2019 procedure foreseen under paragraph 11 of Security Council Resolution 2231.<\/p>\n
