Tehran, Oct 3, IRNA – The International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Wednesday ruled that the sanctions imposed by the US on Iran are violation of a treaty between the two countries. The ICJ said in its ruling that the court has found out that some sanctions imposed by the US are the violation of some obligations and commitments assumed by the two sides under the Treaty of Amity in 1950s. The treaty was signed by Tehran and Washington in 1955.
The ruling also stipulated that the sanctions have inflicted economic loss on Iran, particularly in aviation industry. The anti-Iran measures have also impeded supply of food and medicine. The Hague-based court also ordered the US to lift barriers on the way of exports of medicine, medical equipment, food, and airplanes and the spare parts to Iran, as well as the related examinations and guarantees the respective financial transactions.
