The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran filed the lawsuit at The Hague over the United States’ “military aggression against Iran’s nuclear facilities”, “imposition of economic sanctions” and “threat of use of force”.
This lawsuit was filed in the Iran-United States Arbitration Court, based on the provisions of the 1981 Algiers Declaration and due to the US violation of its international obligations in the 12-day war against Iran in June last year.
In its petition, which has been registered with the Court of Arbitration under the title of Case A-34, the Islamic Republic of Iran, citing the first paragraph of the Algerian Declaration, while explaining and describing the instances of the US’s violation of its commitment during the imposed 12-day war, as well as the imposition of economic sanctions and the threat of resort to force, has requested the Court to condemn the United States of America for violating the first paragraph of the Declaration and to require that government to immediately end its direct and indirect interference in Iran’s internal affairs; and to provide a guarantee that the aforementioned violations will not be repeated, and to fully compensate Iran for the damages caused.
Based on the first paragraph of the Algerian Declaration, the US government has committed not to interfere directly or indirectly, politically or militarily, in Iran’s internal affairs.
