Iran lodges complaint against US at ICC over sanctions amid rise in COVID-19 infections“Given the fact that the sanctions are inhuman and against human rights, a new complaint was lodged at the ICC about the consequences of the bans on the COVID-19 pandemic,” Iran’s Vice-President for Legal Affairs Laaya Joneidi said during a visit to Pasteur Institute of Iran in the capital Tehran on Saturday.

On July 2, Iran’s envoy to the United Nations called for an end to unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States on various countries as the restrictive measures hinder their fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

Majid Takht-Ravanchi made the remarks at a UN Security Council meeting to review the impact of the coronavirus, stressing that the lifting of the sanctions was necessary to counter the spread of the flu-like pathogen in the targeted countries as well as across the world.
