Iran to Host Meeting on Prosecuting Israeli War Criminals
The international conference will be held from April 21 to 22, the Tehran prosecutor’s office announced in a statement issued on Monday.
Israel’s 22-day assault on Gaza left over 1,300 Palestinians dead and destroyed or damaged thousands of buildings across the coastal enclave.
Prosecutors, judges, and lawyers from Islamic and non-Islamic countries have been invited to the conference.
With the rise in war crimes and human rights violations in many parts of the world, all countries and international organizations have a responsibility to prevent such incidents, the statement added.
If the perpetrators of war crimes in the Gaza Strip are brought to justice, it can discourage others from committing such acts and prevent the recurrence of such catastrophes, the Tehran prosecutor’s office noted.
