Iran went to the United Nations’ highest court Monday in a bid to have U.S. sanctions lifted following President Donald Trump’s decision earlier this year to re-impose them, calling the move “naked economic aggression.”
Iran filed the case with the International Court of Justice in July, claiming that sanctions the Trump administration imposed on May 8 breach a 1955 bilateral agreement known as the Treaty of Amity that regulates economic and consular ties between the two countries.
At hearings that started Monday at the court’s headquarters in The Hague, Tehran asked judges at the world court to urgently suspend the sanctions to protect Iranian interests while the case challenging their legality is being heard — a process that can take years. […]
The United States, which argues that the court does not have jurisdiction in the case, is to present its legal arguments to judges on Tuesday. The American delegation declined comment at the end of Monday’s hearing. …

Cannot wait for Trump to nullify any decision, it should be funny.
The United Nations of Islam will get right on it
BTTT
Ha ha ha! More bullsheit from the crazy Iranian dictatorship — like anyone cares about what the UnitedNazis say anymore?! Ha! MAGA and toss them and their entire den of vipers /spies out of America. It’s long overdue.
Wonder how they will enforce any decision?
Well, don’t forget that the European Union treaties explicitly declare “respect for the principles of the United Nations charter” and have done so for over half a century. (And to think there was actually an “American Committee on United Europe”, but of course the same lefties who created the UN in the image of the USSR were hard at work on that abomination too.)
Deep State in action.
Iran — suck it
UN — suck it
Here is how this will go down. The UN Court will rule against us and just as quickly as you can count 1, 2, 3 some Obama/Clinton Judge will rule that the UN ruling has the full force and effect of law. Bam, the Courts will inject themselves into foreign policy.
And why not, Judges are basically overruling everything Trump does. Yet, during the entire time Obama was in office they rarely met an executive order they didn’t love. And when they did, Obama heartily ignored the courts.
Why not in the district court for the District of Columbia. Some judge would surely enjoin Trump for violating separation of powers.
1955? What was a long time go with a government far away.
One which the mullahs over threw.
The EUroNazis who’ve pretty much taken control in Brussels will keep trying to hurt or eliminate Israel and the Jewish People, regardless of what Iran tries to do.
(that they’re also working to eliminate or enslave their own nations, peoples... is another very serious problem...but for another thread discussion)
Neither the UN, nor any part of it has any power whatsoever over the United States.
Most specially the power to declare and enforce sanctions over whatever other country it chooses.
What is our UN ambassador Nikki R. Haley's response to this sick joke?
