The US Continues To Undermine Its Own Interests in Iran
July 17, 2024
The American-led
isolation of Iran is springing leaks all over. It seems that wherever Iran

worldwide are appalled by what they see as the total failure of the
international legal order to prevent Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Despite major

not done its job. While understandable, this outrage is based on a fundamental
misconception that international law’s objective is to eradicate violence; that
may be what the UN Charter promises, but it is not what international law is
expected to do nor what it actually does.

Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by the European Centre for
