A United Nations fact-finding mission has concluded that the U.S. committed war crimes in two attacks on Iran that killed scores of civilians, including over 120 children, on the first day of the war.

In a report released Thursday, the UN’s Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Iran said that the U.S. violated international human rights laws regarding civilian harm in its attacks in Minab and Lamerd.

    All i’m seeing is word salad being tossed around by organisations that are trying to make it seem like they are “fighting” injustice so that later they can say “we tried, but we couldn’t do anything”.

    Without consequences for the perpetrators it’s all just empty words.

      I can’t think of a single way to do this without (a) having the US government willingly abdicate or (b) the UN fighting and winning a war against the US.

          …how? The US owns the infrastructure of international trade and finance. Either the US government would have to sanction itself which is analagous to (a) above, or the UN would have to create and maintain an entirely separate international financial infrastructure, which is analogous to (b) above.
