Iran has urged the United Nations Security Council to implement comprehensive and effective sanctions against the Israeli government in order to halt its harmful actions in the West Asia region.
Kazem Gharibabadi, the Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, conveyed this message during a UN meeting in The Hague that focused on international compliance with the organization's charter on Tuesday.
He emphasized the need for immediate action by the United Nations Security Council to enforce punitive measures outlined in Chapter VII of the charter, which mandates responses to threats to global peace.
Iranian senior diplomat called for all nations to refrain from engaging in economic, military, and arms partnerships with the Israeli government.
Gharibabadi strongly criticized the council’s failure in the face of the regime and its atrocities, citing the catastrophic situation across the Palestinian territories, which was worsening every moment.
“The Security Council has, due to the United States unconditioned support for the Israeli regime, failed to stop the Israeli regime’s war machine,” noted the senior diplomat.
Gharibabadi called for re-establishment of the rule of law and administration of justice concerning the regime towards cessation of its genocidal attacks and occupation.
The statements were made in the context of the Israeli government's ongoing war of genocide in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, as well as a severe escalation of violence against Lebanon during the same period. These actions have resulted in the tragic loss of 44,235 Palestinian lives, predominantly women and children, and the deaths of 3,768 individuals in Lebanon.
