JERUSALEM (July 28) — As the European Union announced new, tougher sanctions this week against Iran, a blue-chip coalition of lawyers and human rights activists reiterated its demand that Iranian leaders be brought before the International Court of Justice for incitement to genocide and the brutal repression of their own citizens.
The Responsibility to Protect Coalition, chaired by former Canadian Justice Minister Irwin Cotler and supported by a who’s who of international law experts, says the government of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is “a clear and present danger to international peace and security … and to its own people.”
The group’s 200-page report, “The Danger of a Nuclear, Genocidal and Rights-Violating Iran,” catalogs Iranian violations of international law and human rights abuses against its own citizens. The authors argue that the international community should act now to defuse a “toxic mix” of policies that threaten world security: “the nuclear threat; the genocidal incitement threat; state-sponsored terrorism; and the systematic and widespread violations of the rights of the Iranian people.”
