UN experts condemn Israeli attacks as violation of international law

A group of UN experts on Saturday condemned Israel's attacks on Iranian nuclear sites as well as military, nuclear, energy and residential targets as a violation of international law.

The group of special rapporteurs including the special rapporteur on human rights in Iran also objected to Iranian missile attacks on Israel.

“These (Israeli) attacks represent a flagrant violation of fundamental principles of international law," the UN experts said in a statement.

“Israel’s attack and Iran’s response – with successive waves of attacks against each other's territory – have resulted in many civilian casualties, confirming our grave concerns about this destructive cycle of violence,” they added.
