American “freedom” for Iranian children. Prosecute everyone involved. Start with Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Netanyahu, and keep going. #InternationalLaw #HumanRights #CrimesAgainstHumanity #WarCrimes https://www.ft.com/content/055d7ee1-0002-4d86-931f-18f4687d4f8b

Its interesting that Iran shooting down one (or possibly two) US aircraft in its airspace is being treated as an 'escalation'.... Given Iran is clearly under attack from US/Israeli forces, defending its airspace is not so much an escalation as a perfectly reasonable defensive response (and certainly legal as far as international law is concerned). But the narrative remains, whatever the media may think its doing, one that privileges the US's positioning on the 'war'! #Iran #InternationalLaw

‘Rubio’s statements invoked two legal concepts that could possibly justify waging war abroad – including the concept of an “imminent threat” posed to American lives, and the concept of launching preemptive strikes as an act of self defense.’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/04/trump-administration-illegal-war-iran-experts That contradicts the failure to address the ongoing and actual threat to Palestinian Muslims. Since the illegal Balfour Declaration and the Nakba etc. There is no legal justification for preemptive strikes to protect the colonial stealing and genocide of actual citizens on the basis of spurious and antisemitic religious claims. Absolute claims to land not lived on for centuries have no right to title of land registration as is true with common law for good reasons. The only reason that the Anglo European Zionists don’t want anyone else to have nuclear weapons is so that it can carry on with its preemptive bombing campaigns, assassinations, murder, illegal detention and the theft of Arab resources; oil and gas to finance their military hegemony. No one should be exempt from the colonial terror campaigns! All can and should agree to that the nuclear Nations have accepted that world wars are the legal justification for peace and security? #illegalwars #InternationalLaw #EmpiresAreIllegal #TheFederation

Osallistuin tänään Hands Off Iran Finlandin mielenosoitukseen, jossa vastustettiin Yhdysvaltojen ja isrlin aloittamaa hyökkäyssotaa Irania vastaan. USA ja isrl ovat tehneet iskuja tapojensa mukaan siviilikohteisiin, kuten kouluun, tappaen satoja lapsia. Ohessa tilaisuudessa pitämäni puhe. Hyvät ystävät, dear friends Thank you for being here today. My name is Elina, and I’m sorry we meet in these circumstances. I wish the safety and health of your family and loved ones. Thank you for my Iranian friends who have helped me and other Finnish people to gain better understanding of the situation. Yhdysvallat romutti Iranin demokratian vuonna 1953, kun demokraattisilla vaaleilla pääministeriksi valittu Mohammad Mossadegh syrjäytettiin CIA:n ja Britannian tiedustelupalvelun toimesta. Mossadegh syrjäytettiin, sillä hän halusi kansallistaa Iranin öljyteollisuuden, joka oli tuolloin brittiläisten yhtiöiden hallussa. Hänen tilalleen asetettiin autoritäärinen kuningas Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Tapahtumat johtivat islamistiseen vallankumoukseen ja teokraattisen järjestelmän perustamiseen vuonna 1979. Looking at recent history, it is clear that Western interventions in the Middle East have consistently led to greater instability and conflict. Now, once again, the USA and Israel have launched a war—this time against Iran—claiming it is to “liberate” the Iranian people and protect the world from the Islamic regime. Iranin kohtalo ei määritä vain hallintoa vastaan kamppailevien iranilaisten tulevaisuutta, vaan sillä on laajoja vaikutuksia koko alueeseen. Iran on yksi toimijoista, jotka tukevat länsimaiden toimesta kansanmurhan keskellä eläviä palestiinalaisia materiaalisesti ja poliittisesti. Euroopan maiden tulisi tällä hetkellä puolustaa ihmisoikeuksia ja vastustaa israelin ja Yhdysvaltojen toteuttamia rikoksia ihmisyyttä vastaan. Sen sijaan EU ja Suomi käytännössä edelleen tukevat hirmutekoja. Olen häpeissäni, että näin on. Tämä on myös osaltaan johtanut tähän tilanteeseen, jota elämme nyt. In less than a month since USA and Israel invaded Iran, at least 1,500 Iranians have been killed, including 200 elementary school students. The entire Middle East region has become destabilized, while the Iranian regime has responded with increased violence toward its own people and neighboring countries. USA and Israel are now explicitly threatening attacks on power plants, which will directly harm civilians and create a humanitarian catastrophe. Suomen on vastustettava Yhdysvaltoja ja israelia sekä tuettava demokratian toteutumista Iranissa iranilaisten ehdoilla. Finland has to support the international law and oppose USA and israel. The USA and Israel must end their invasion of Iran, and the Iranian regime must step down, allowing the Iranian people to freely choose their own government. #iran #israel #usa #finland #internationallaw #humanrights #notowar #notowariniran #vasemmisto #vasemmistoliitto #HandsOffIran

The UK has, better than most nations, learned from history how to identify the rise of authoritarian states. Their rejection on the grounds of international law is 100% a reflection on how low our nation has sunk on the world stage. #UK #UnitedKingdom #InternationalLaw #IranStrikes https://thehill.com/policy/defense/5748731-starmer-refuses-trump-iran/

International law meant to limit effects of war at breaking point, study finds | War crimes | The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/law/2026/feb/02/more-than-100000-civilians-killed-war-crimes-out-of-control-study "An authoritative survey of 23 armed conflicts over the last 18 months has concluded that international law seeking to limit the effects of war is at breaking point, with more than 100,000 civilians killed, while torture and rape are committed with near impunity." #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #Palestine #Gaza #Israel #USA @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com
