    No Apologies To Iranian Government.

     

     

    Pres. Obama Owe no apologies to Iranian President.

    Undoubtedly, it violates the international human right law. Global pandemic of violence against women and girls (Nede case). The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948) defines genocide (article 2) as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group…” including:

    1.      (a) Killing members of the group;

    2.      (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

    3.      (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

    4.      (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

    5.      (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

    All such acts are violations of human rights, and may also be crimes against humanity or war crimes, depending on the context in which they were committed. The Convention confirms that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or war, is a crime under international law which parties to the Convention undertake “to prevent and to punish” (article 1). Because it is a part of international customary law the Convention is considered applicable in all countries, irrespective of whether they have signed or ratified it.

    President Obama standing up to condemn such human right violators is morally and imperatively right, and shouldn't pull any oppositions.

    A personal written note from Mr. President to revolutionary leader, Mouasive demonstrates how committed the white house is to reach those proposed resolution for mutual respect and interest with the Arab world.
