TEHRAN – Member of Iran’s Constitutional Council Abbas-Ali Kadkhodaei on Tuesday said that said that the U.S. must be held to account in international courts for breaching human rights.
Addressing the second conference on the review and revelation of American human rights (American Human Rights Record) in Tehran, Kadkhodaei said that it is time for the U.S. to be held to account in international courts.
The U.S. violates human rights with the help of some other Western states, he underlined.
It is the duty of all oppressed nations to stand against the U.S. countless crimes, he further noted.
The nations must stop the U.S. from taking further wrong measures and committing more crimes, he underscored.
The official slammed U.S. sanctions as a violation of basic human rights, particularly those punitive measures that restrict people’s access to food.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Kadkhodaei said that American officials have admitted to supporting the Daesh terrorist group.
