The Iranian people are entitled to compensation from Israel and the United States under international law. The unilateral actions of these countries against Iran, including targeted killings and bombings, violate fundamental norms of international law. The principle of state responsibility, established by the International Law Commission, holds states accountable for wrongful acts. These violations trigger obligations requiring responsible states to provide reparations. The acts in question breach both customary international law and peremptory norms, such as the prohibition of aggression, undermining justice and the sovereignty of nations in the international legal order.
The attack by the United States and Israel on Iran, including the targeted killings of scientists and intellectuals, bombing of IAEA-approved nuclear facilities, and strikes against residential, medical, media, and public infrastructure, is a prime example of illegal, unilateral action that must not remain unaddressed.
The principle of state responsibility dictates that states are held accountable for wrongful acts and imposes a binding duty on the responsible state to provide full and effective reparation for the harm caused.
These acts not only contravened customary international law, but also breached peremptory norms, the highest-ranking norms within the international legal hierarchy. Among these, the principle of the prohibition of aggression is a core and universally binding rule.
If such practices remain unaddressed, there is a risk that the international legal order will lose its foundational purpose: the protection of justice, peace, and the sovereignty of nations.
