The evidence is adapted to the decision.

The consequences of acts of aggression against Iran’s safeguarded nuclear facilities
In February 2026, the United States and the Zionist regime, barely eight months after their aggression in June 2025, once again carried out unlawful and hostile attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Protecting cultural heritage under fire: The fragile role of international law
The deliberate targeting of cultural heritage during armed conflict remains a grave concern. International law provides crucial instruments for protection, anchored by agreements such as the 1972 UNESCO Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage and the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. These conventions represent a foundational effort to safeguard sites of historical and artistic significance, recognizing their intrinsic value beyond purely monetary terms.
