Iran's Crimes Against Humanity



The term crimes against humanity has come to mean odious offences that constitute a serious attack on human dignity. The most significant use of the phrase originated in 1907 Hague Convention preamble, which put forth the customary law of armed conflict. These laws were based on the existing State practices of the "laws of humanity". It was during May 24, 1915 when the Allies of WWI; Britain, France and Russia jointly issues a statement explicitly denouncing, for the first time, the commission of "crimes against humanity" in response to the Armenian Genocide. Right after the war has ended, an international war crimes commission recommended the creation of a tribunal to "try violations of the laws of humanity".

Crimes against humanity have existed in customary international law for over half a century and are also evidences in prosecutions before some national courts, however, there has been a few evidences showing that there is a case currently put together to try the Royal family of Bahrain for the so-called "crimes against humanity", with countries like Iran and Lebanon backing such claims and even financing the trips of these individuals to pressure the government of Bahrain to step down or face "detriment" as boldly said by Ali Larijani, representative of Supreme Iranian Extremist Leader, Ali Khamenei. Ridiculous for a country notorious as Iran to point or even help in supporting any sort of case against the government of Bahrain, as Iran has stepped too far and today, Bahrain along with its allies have secured enough evidence needed to prosecute the government of Iran, of which Ali Khamenei is responsible for as the fanatic revolutionary head of State.

In 2002, the International Criminal Court (ICC) along with Rome Statute provided jurisdiction over genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. The definition of what is a "crime against humanity" has significantly broadened from its original legal definition or that used by the UN, where in Article 7, Iran itself has proved to violate every human right by its silenced atrocities and widespread attacks against its civilian population with knowledge of these attacks.

1. Murder: The unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.
Iran's massive killing spree has not begun today, in fact after the rise of Supreme Leader Ayoutallah, Ali Khamenei, there were a series of murders and appearances from 1988-1998 by Iranian government operatives of Iranian dissident intellectuals, who had been critical of the Islamic Republic system in some way. The victims included more than 80 writers, translators, poets, political activists and ordinary citizens and were killing by a variety of means- car crashes, stabbings, shootings in staged robberies, injections with potassium to stimulate a heart attack- in what many believe was an attempt to avoid any connection between them. The pattern of murders did not come to light until late 1998 when a political leader Dariush Forouhar, his wide and three dissident writers, were murdered in the span of two months. Till this day, Iran exercises mass murders and numerous atrocities under the name of "Islamic Law".

2. Extermination: extinction: complete annihilation.

Iran has been living to fulfill its long planned out 50 year plan for regional growth and domination. With that said, it is slowly exterminating the minorities in its lands to gain power and control over them. These minorities that live in Iran are: Ahawazi who are Arab Iranians, where many of oil wells are in the country, Kurdish, Balouch, Turk, Armenian and Christians to name a few of their many minorities. These are being eradicated, for the widespread of their revolution which they are slowly but surely exporting to the Middle East for superiority.

Iran's Human Rights file is filled with bloodbaths, genocides and wretched carnage. The country runs on the blood of innocent people to get their plans underway and without interruption, while they quietly draw and execute their "Lebanization" blueprint on Iraq and gradually in the Middle East, but before people like Ali Larijani declare: "support for regional popular revolutions, especially for the uprising of people of Bahrain, is an Islamic obligation", why isn't saving the people of his country an obligation, instead of them focusing on the situation in Bahrain. Iran's political motives proved its deceitful and hypocritical nature towards the Arabs, but it the Arab awakening happening thanks to their quick hunger unfolding which served to benefit the Arabs and mostly Bahrain.
