Geneva: The UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) condemned yesterday Iran’s attacks on its Gulf neighbors, urging it to quickly provide compensation to all its victims.

The 47-member council endorsed a resolution put forward by the six GCC states and Jordan condemning Iran’s moves to close the Strait of Hormuz and demanding that Tehran immediately cease all unjustified attacks. 

The Human Rights Council adopted, without a vote, the resolution titled: “Human Rights Impacts of Unjustified Attacks by the Islamic Republic of Iran on the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Jordan”, which was co-sponsored by more than 100 countries.

Qatar strongly condemned the missile and drone attacks carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran targeting Qatari territory.

It described them as a blatant violation of its national sovereignty and territorial integrity and a clear breach of the United Nations Charter, particularly the prohibition on the use of force or threat thereof.
