Amnesty urges Iran, Israel to protect civilians amid escalating conflict

Amnesty International called on both Iranian and Israeli authorities to uphold international humanitarian law and protect civilian lives as the conflict intensifies.

“As the number of deaths and injuries continue to rise, Amnesty International is urging both parties to comply with their obligations and ensure that civilians in both countries do not further pay the price of reckless military action,” said Agnès Callamard, the group’s Secretary General.

Continued escalation risks “devastating and far-reaching consequences for civilians across the region and beyond,” she warned.
