US-imposed sanctions violate human rights: Iran's justice minister

Moscow, IRNA – Minister of Justice of Iran Amin Hossein Rahimi has underscored that the unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States on the country and other nations are a violation of human rights because they impede the delivery of medicines to patients.

The Iranian minister, who is on a visit to Russia to take part in the 11th St Petersburg International Legal Forum, said late on Friday that the independent and free states should jointly file lawsuits in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and other international entities against governments that impose sanctions on them.

Addressing counterpart justice ministers participating in the forum in St. Petersburg, Rahimi spoke about the rule of law at the forum, the Iranian minister explained his proposal for the formation of a club consisting of countries that are subject to sanctioned.

Such a club of sanctioned countries would be formed in the framework of legal and judicial cooperation between governments which are victims of unilateral sanctions, he said , adding that the club could be established under the auspices of the ministries of justice of the member states.
