UN court orders USA to lift sanctions affecting Iran air safety
The International Court of Justice judges have ruled that the US govt must lift sanctions against Iran which pose a threat to civil aviation safety. The ruling follows consideration of measures imposed this year when the USA withdrew from participating in a multinational deal on Iran’s nuclear programme. Sanctions against export of commercial aircraft and parts to Iran took effect in early August. But Iranian representatives alleged that the US govt was violating a 1955 treaty on amity and economic relations between the two countries. The International Court of Justice states that, while some of Iran’s rights under the treaty might have been affected, it views other rights – such as those relating to import of humanitarian goods, or services to ensure civil aviation safety – as not being so. <br/>
