  • Envoy: Soelimani assassination intl crime; justice seeking demanded

Iran's deputy permanent ambassador to the UN Geneva-based Office said terrorist act of assassinating late Quds Force Commander Qassem Soleimani was an international crime and Iranian nation will not cease justice seeking in that regard.

Ali Bahraini who was speaking at an online panel discussion on the sidelines of the 52nd Regular Session of UN Human Rights Council added, "The illegal nature of that criminal act, in terms of obvious violation of the international laws and the human rights, and the short-term and long-term aftermaths of it on lawfulness and regional peace and security, necessitate accountability of entire concerned international organizations, making its creators accountable, and seek justice for its victims."

"This terrorist act was not only breaching the laws and international order, but also an extraordinary challenge for preservation of the norms and the basic standards of the human rights in terms of respecting the individuals' right to live," he added.

The Iranian ambassador said that the human rights apparatuses of the UN, must condemn this obvious breaching of the human rights, and favor justice seeking, because the international laws and the human rights are the main victims of such acts.

Ambassador Bahraini referred to the report presented by the former UN Rapporteur Agnes Callamard, saying, "He considered the terrorist act against Martyr Soleimani a wayward murder, and considered the United States responsible for breaching the UN Charter."
