I would phrase it as countries that would care about what's happening in the country, countries that would therefore speak out. I think Canada and others that have traditionally championed human rights can, and in my view should, engage these wider audiences in creating a wider channel of communication with Iran. I think that will work, because Iran does stand for elections to the UN in seeking broader engagement. Iran does care about its reputation. It will be far more difficult to dismiss criticism from some quarters than perhaps from countries in the west which, Iran fears, have traditionally been critical of Iran.
