Casualties among university
students, school pupils
By the fourth week of the war, 71 university students from various provinces had lost their lives, with Tehran Province having the highest number of martyrs at 23. Furthermore, the mass killing of 170 schoolchildren and their teachers in the city of Minab in the early hours of the war is a clear example of a war crime and a crime against humanity. Due to wartime conditions in the country, the opportunity to provide precise statistics has not yet been available, and the number of martyrs and injured professors, teachers, university students, and school pupils is certainly much higher.
Attacks on vital fuel infrastructure, environmental resources
Extensive and targeted attacks on fuel storage and transfer infrastructure in Shahr-e Rey, Tehran Province, Fardis-Karaj, and other areas, in addition to being covered by the protections of the 1949 Geneva Convention and its four Additional Protocols, and due to their environmental consequences, risk of pollution, and release of toxic substances, violate the provisions of the 1976 ENMOD Convention and pose a direct threat to the right of future generations to a healthy environment.
Attack on Iranian frigate Dena
This vessel had departed for India on a friendly training mission before the war. This unarmed vessel was attacked by the US Navy on its return from India, resulting in the martyrdom of its 104 crew members. The president of the United States, with utmost cruelty, stated that when he asked his commanders why they did not capture them (who were unarmed), they replied that sinking the ship was more enjoyable.
Call for action
These actions have occurred while international bodies responsible for maintaining peace and security, particularly the United Nations Security Council, has maintained an unforgivable silence. This silence is a dereliction of duty and a clear violation of international obligations. Therefore, in order to recall and demand the fulfillment of legal, ethical, and humanitarian commitments within the framework of international law, we request the following from the United Nations Security Council, the International Atomic Energy Agency, the International Committee of the Red Cross (overseeing the implementation of the Geneva Conventions), UNESCO, the United Nations General Assembly, and the Human Rights Council:
An explicit and transparent condemnation of the aggression by the governments of the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran, adoption of deterrent and punitive measures against the perpetrators of these aggressions, a decisive stance against the attack on the peaceful nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran, documentation and follow-up of the extensive violations of conventions, an immediate investigation into the destruction of historical sites and registered cultural heritage sites, convening an extraordinary session of the United Nations to condemn these crimes and present effective solutions to prevent their recurrence.
We also call on all religious, scientific, academic, and cultural institutions worldwide to unite their voices, condemning the barbaric aggressions against Iran by the United States and the child-killing Zionist regime, to stand against this violence, and not to allow the fundamental rights of humanity to be sacrificed for the greed of aggressive powers.
