Iran: Lack of international justice six months after January protest massacres risks further atrocity crimes

AI justification

Failure to pursue justice for mass killings enables impunity and risks further atrocities. | The absence of international justice mechanisms in response to state-sponsored mass killings in Iran constitutes a severe violation of fundamental human rights and undermines global accountability for atrocity crimes. This failure enables impunity, emboldens further repression, and directly contravenes the principles of peace, justice, and strong institutions (SDG 16).
