Amnesty International calls for Iran to face International Criminal Court

Amnesty International Secretary General Agnès Callamard said Wednesday that Iranian authorities should be brought before the International Criminal Court (ICC), criticizing the UN Security Council for not pursuing such a measure.

Speaking at a press conference in London, Callamard said the international community should recognize that Iran should be referred to the ICC. She described the Security Council’s failure to put forward a resolution on the matter as a serious failure.

Callamard also called on prosecutors in countries around the world to investigate Iranian officials using universal jurisdiction or other forms of extraterritorial jurisdiction where applicable.

She warned that failure by UN member states to pursue international justice could be followed by another violent crackdown on protesters, potentially on an even larger scale.

“There must be no more unheeded warnings,” Callamard said.
