Iran’s Human Rights Headquarters has condemned an Israeli attack against Pasteur Institute of Iran as being illegal and running against the fundamental principles of international law and humanitarian law.
In a statement on Monday, the headquarters said that the US-backed attack targeted a center meant for scientific, research and healthcare purposes whose sole mission was to improve public health and prevent the outbreak of diseases.
The statement said that targeting this center was a clear example of attacking the most critical civilian infrastructure, violating all the human and international regulations, including those necessitating the principle of distinguishing civilian and military targets during armed conflicts.
It criticized the silence and inaction of the self-proclaimed advocates of human rights in the face of this crime as a sign of their double standard policies and political approach to human rights issues.
Iran’s Human Rights Headquarters warned that normalizing attacks against scientific, healthcare and other civilian centers will pose a serious threat to the international peace and security, public health and the principles of international law.
