The US-Israeli strikes were launched in violation of the UN Charter and without authorisation from the Security Council. We cannot pick and choose when international law applies. Unlawful military intervention is not a solution to the nuclear issue or to the human rights situation in Iran. I call for restraint and respect for international law by all parties.
So many lives were lost to violent crackdown since the protests began on 28 December 2025. Those protests reflected real and legitimate grievances. Any resolution that focuses solely on the nuclear programme — without addressing the legitimate grievances of the Iranian people and the violent repression they faced — does nothing to address why people took to the streets. It is for the Iranian people to shape their own future.
I am closely monitoring the human rights impact of this escalation, particularly its effects on civilians and essential infrastructure.

حملات آمریکا و اسرائیل در نقض منشور ملل متحد و بدون مجوز شورای امنیت انجام شده است. نمی‌توان به‌دلخواه تعیین کرد که حقوق بین‌الملل چه زمانی باید اجرا شود. مداخله نظامی غیرقانونی نه راه‌حلی برای مسئله هسته‌ای است و نه پاسخی به وضعیت حقوق بشر در ایران. من از همه طرف‌ها می‌خواهم خویشتن‌داری کنند و به حقوق بین‌الملل احترام بگذارند.
از زمان آغاز اعتراضات در ۷ دی ۱۴۰۴، شمار زیادی از افراد در نتیجه سرکوب خشونت‌آمیز جان خود را از دست داده‌اند. این اعتراضات بازتاب‌دهنده مطالبات واقعی و مشروع مردم بود. هرگونه راه‌حلی که صرفاً بر برنامه هسته‌ای تمرکز کند و مطالبات مشروع مردم ایران و سرکوب خشونت‌آمیزی را که با آن مواجه شدند نادیده بگیرد، پاسخی به چرایی حضور مردم در خیابان‌ها نمی‌دهد. این حق مردم ایران است که آینده خود را شکل دهند.
من تأثیرات حقوق بشری این تشدید تنش‌ها را از نزدیک زیر نظر دارم، به‌ویژه پیامدهای آن بر غیرنظامیان و زیرساخت‌های حیاتی.

In her first report to the UN General Assembly, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Islamic Republic of #Iran raised pressing concerns about the rising number of executions, freedom of expression & access to information.
