US unilateral sanctions crime against humanity: Iran diplomat
[PRESSTV] Iran's ambassador and permanent representative to the UN office in Geneva says the US sanctions and unilateral punitive measures have very broad and serious impacts on the fundamental human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
and are tantamount to crimes against humanity.

Addressing the 42nd session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland
...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...
, Esmaeil Baqaei Hamaneh, said the international community has announced that imposing sanctions are against international law, warning that the continuation of such an unlawful approach by certain countries poses a threat to global peace and security and challenges the structure of the collective security based on the United Nations
...the Oyster Bay money pit...
Charter.

The senior Iranian diplomat also criticized UN Human Rights Commissioner Michelle Bachelet for not including in her report the negative impacts of sanctions on people's rights, calling for a serious measure to relieve the human suffering caused by unilateral sanctions imposed by some countries.

Baqaei invited countries to adopt legal strategies to reduce the impacts of sanctions, saying that the international community's consensus on the need to oppose the extraterritorial implementation of illegal sanctions could play a leading role in this regard.

#1 In most of history, storming an embassy and holding the diplomatic personnel as hostages has been the basis of total war. Be happy everyone is using one excuse after another not to do that.
