US must lift ‘humanitarian’ sanctions on Iran: UN court
THE HAGUE, Oct 3, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – The UN’s top court Wednesday ordered
the United States to lift sanctions on “humanitarian” goods to Iran that
President Donald Trump reimposed after pulling out of Tehran’s nuclear deal.
The International Court of Justice unanimously ruled that Washington
“shall remove by means of its choosing any impediments arising from the
measures announced on May 8 to the free exportation to Iran of medicines and
medical devices, food and agricultural commodities” as well as airplane
parts, said judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf.
