This indecent act should be recorded in the political history of Europe. Based on the provisions of the Vienna Convention, diplomatic places and property have immunity, and it is not clear why such negligence was done by the Copenhagen government.
European countries, especially the members of the European Union, do not adhere to international regulations and standards in any way, especially regarding the protection of diplomatic places and diplomats, despite the fact that they repeatedly pretend to implement these regulations and standards and say that other countries do not comply with these standards.
In relation to the riots of the past weeks in Iran and the attack of anti-revolutionary elements on the Iranian diplomatic places in some European countries, who are mostly terrorist elements and should not be present in European countries, the attack of these people on Iranian embassies was met with indifference by the European officials.
Among the Europeans, Scandinavian countries, including Denmark, claim to adhere to international laws and respect human rights more than others and hold numerous seminars in this regard. But unfortunately, we see that they do not implement these things in practice, and it is Iran that should ask these countries to adhere to international standards.
The issue of diplomatic immunity has existed throughout history, and we have witnessed the immunity of diplomats and ambassadors in the Islamic era and before Islam, and during the Renaissance, the Europeans claimed this issue, but unfortunately, the various attacks on Iranian embassies show that the Europeans are only making a gesture of complying with these standards.
Apart from that, in recent days, we have witnessed the interference of Europeans in Iran's internal affairs, who supported the rioters who wanted to turn the peaceful movement of the protesters into violent movements, and even threatened Iran with sanctions and allowed Iran's diplomatic places to be attacked.
Europe's indifference to the immunity of diplomatic places is internationally rejected and condemnable. It is necessary for the United Nations and other international institutions to condemn the actions of these countries against international standards by adhering to the regulations that they have established themselves.
