00:00:00hospitals across this
00:00:01in trip that are being able to barely function and
00:00:05provide very basic
00:00:08of
00:00:08of medical medical
00:00:13of of services, yeah services basically over there, but most hospitals have been bombed have been destroyed
00:00:17and killed, you know people inside have been killed, and
00:00:20a of of
00:00:21of course these are hospitals
00:00:24of are is part of infrastructure that is civilian
00:00:28of infrastructure and according to international laws, again
00:00:32of it is a war crime to uh bomb
00:00:35hospital, but of course first of all when it
00:00:39when it comes to the military or the regime, they of course deny
00:00:43responsibility for it, and then when it
00:00:45of comes to the international
00:00:47of of organizations that have supposedly made these laws to
00:00:51prohibiting you know these kind of actions
00:00:54a during war and labeling them as war crimes, these
00:00:57organizations first of all do not uh... acknowledge
00:01:01that the crime has been committed and failed
00:01:04to take the necessary action to stop the
00:01:08enemy, stop the basically aggressor, and then
00:01:11maybe later they will give out a statement to strongly
00:01:15condemn the act that has taken place.
00:01:19right, okay, thank you so much for that, Zainab, as we've been discussing from
00:01:23the beginning
00:01:23of the rolling coverage today, many analysts draw parallel between the
00:01:27US atrocities against the indigenous people, and the violence against the
00:01:31people of Gaza these days when I joined by a correspondent in Der
00:01:35Balag outside al-Aksa Hospital. Let
00:01:39us uh let me mention that the medical facility saw a shocking attack in
00:01:42October 2024. The attack struck tents within the
00:01:46ground
00:01:46of the hospital. Over to you
00:01:48Garda. Yeah,
00:01:52first of all, let me start by reminding that after three
00:01:56years
00:01:56of the Israeli genocide, the
00:01:59in genocide is still. continued is it still reaping more lives on the
00:02:02ground and a whole year after the announcement
00:02:05of the seasfire agreement, Palestinians here are still
00:02:09subject
00:02:09to an Israeli genocide that is still continuous until
00:02:13this moment. In the past
00:02:15of 24 hours, seven Palestinians have been killed, more others were injured,
00:02:19around 28 have been injured in the past 24 hours. Since the
00:02:23beginning
00:02:23of the announcement, until now at least
00:02:261,400 Palestinians have been killed. as
00:02:30a result
00:02:30of the Israeli attacks against the Palestinians here and
00:02:34against the civilians in all the areas
00:02:36of the Gaza strip, the genocide is still continuous, but
00:02:40actually the the
00:02:42of announcement
00:02:43of of the tea's fire that took place back in the 9th of October 2025 has
00:02:47diverted the attention from the Israeli massacers that are taking place
00:02:51here in the Gaza strip, however this actually
00:02:55is um telling that the genocide is continuous over with
00:02:58less but... noisy pattern as you know today marks the
00:03:02day
00:03:02of the indigenous people and in
00:03:05in some parts
00:03:05of the globe,
00:03:06some indigenous people are celebrating
00:03:08their cultures, their traditions and their
00:03:11existence on their land, and on the other hand we have
00:03:15here the palestinian people being subjected to this
00:03:18Israeli genocide, that's main goal is to wipe and
00:03:22to
00:03:22of ethnically cleanse the people that is existing on this
00:03:26land, today marks a day that in which the
00:03:30indigenous people should actually uh celebrate their
00:03:33existence, however, as you know, palestinians are being
00:03:37ethnically cleansed and as are being killed,
00:03:40palestine not only in gaza, but also palestine not only in
00:03:44gaza, but also every day since the beginning
00:03:47of the
00:03:48is every day since the beginning
00:03:49of the Israeli genocide and since and even before that
00:03:53is actually marks a day that is engraved in
00:03:57the memory of at least one palestinian. a day of devastation,
00:04:01a day of loss and a day of pain uh for
00:04:05them. one of those days is today's
00:04:07of date in which the Israel incubation army committed
00:04:11horrific massacre here in alqsa hospitals
00:04:15vicinity in which palestinians were actually taken shelter
00:04:19in one
00:04:19of the tents in the western
00:04:22bar aqsa hospital, the israely army attack them
00:04:26brutally, burn them alive while trying to asleep in the...
00:04:30of since one
00:04:31of the survivors of those massacers was um muhammed here,
00:04:34muhammad is my
00:04:35of guest today and she is one
00:04:38of of of the survivors who survived this horrific attack along with her seven
00:04:42daughters, she is actually recounting some
00:04:46of horrible of details
00:04:47of about the this particular massacers and about
00:04:50in how the Israel ocupation have been repeatedly targeting
00:04:54of civilians and targeting people inside the uh the
00:04:57vicinity of this hospital and outside as well, muhammad
00:05:01has went through very um, has actually gone through very
00:05:05horrible and very horrific incident since the beginning
00:05:08of the Israeli genocide, fleeing from the north of Gaza.
00:05:12finding shilter here aqa hospital to
00:05:16to actually to take refuge from the Israeli attacks and from the
00:05:20Israeli masters that are taking place, however even in
00:05:24this place she cannot find safety until now a short while ago she
00:05:28was actually talking about another incident in which she
00:05:32was um adjacent to the attack that took place
00:05:35few
00:05:36uh weeks
00:05:37ago when the Israel incubation targeted the warehouse the
00:05:41kidney dialysis. situations in which this aspect
00:05:45was very close and very adjacent to her tent and was
00:05:49about to post her life and her
00:05:52daughters, so let's start by welcoming muhammad
00:05:56with us and she is about to tell us how
00:06:00um let us talk
00:06:03about what this day in particular today's date
00:06:07what that actually recals to your mind and to your memory we
00:06:11know that this
00:08:14ما قدرت الدفاع المدني يطلعهم انحرقوا قدام عينينا وحنا مش
00:08:18قادرين
00:08:18نجديدهم
00:08:27وكمان مره بخيمه ثانيه
00:08:30يشهد الله بنتي لليوم شاضيه في صدرها
00:08:34يعني استشهد واحد جاري خيمه امنه
00:08:38يعني كل الشضايا جت علينا الله جت
00:08:42علينا
00:09:42many these
00:09:43memories,
00:09:48okay, as part of our rolling coverage the indigenous people's day,
00:09:52we discussed the US Israeli genocidal act against other
00:09:55nations, especially the people in west Asia, we had an interview
00:09:59with the wife the matared Iranian sailor who lost his life
00:10:03a US attack on the denafrat in international
00:10:07waters and now let's watch an interview with Dr. Ismail
00:10:10Karimopor who is the director of department of international law
00:10:14US act of aggression and with this act of
00:10:17aggression and with this video after you watch it will be the end of our
00:10:21ruling coverage on this ongoing uh day of
00:10:25the occupied people in the United
00:10:28States.
00:10:32Welcome back, now as part of our coverage the extents and various aspects
00:10:35the US act of aggression against the Iranian navy
00:10:39fregate, IRIS Dena. We are now joined
00:10:43by Dr. Ismail Karimipur, the director the department
00:10:47of International Law the Iranian Army's Navy.
00:10:51Doctor, thank you so much for your time today. On March the 3rd.
00:10:55the Iranian warship Deno was targeted by two US missiles
00:10:58in international waters, killing 104 crew
00:11:02members and injuring another 32 uh
00:11:06people on board. experts say that this attack given the
00:11:10protected the status the Iranian destroyer and the
00:11:14fact that it occurred outside the conflict zone, it
00:11:17constitutes clear violation of international
00:11:21humanitarian law and also the principle of neutrality.
00:12:25be conducted based
00:12:26on the principles of humanity and public conscience. In
00:12:30practice, the Martin's clause serves as moral filter through
00:12:34which all actions and decisions in wartime should pass.
00:12:38However, when we examined the actions the United States in all
00:12:42wars, particularly during the recent conflict involving our
00:12:45country, including the attacks on Minab, lamberd,
00:12:49and the destroyer, one thing is strikingly absent,
00:12:53humanity and the conscience.
00:15:15These are activities that promote maritime security and
00:15:19peace. The purpose of vessel's mission and its
00:15:22location must both be considered.
00:15:41circumstances, attacking the vessel constituted
00:15:45under those violation the principle of distinction. further more, article
00:15:4947, paragraph f the san remo manual
00:15:52grants protection to vessels engaged in scientific,
00:15:56humanitarian and training missions. this makes the attack
00:16:00additional and clear violation of international humanitarian
00:16:04law. there's another important issue for attack
00:16:07to be... lawful, it must provide definite military
00:16:10advantage. This is closely related to the fundamental
00:16:13principle of military necessity. In this case, the
00:16:17United States also violated that
00:16:20principle: 46 the
00:16:22article Sunro Manuel states that if vessel is
00:16:26not making effective contribution to military operations,
00:16:30the legality of attacking it requires specially careful
00:16:33assessment, vessel that is not effectively participate.
00:17:20This protection is reflected in the geneva conventions and other
00:17:24international treaties. Article 41 of
00:17:27additional protocol I to the Geneva Conventions
00:17:31explicitly states that persons who are out of combat must
00:17:35not be targeted attacks.
00:17:37stated
00:19:20the names of those people who were accountable for this act
00:19:24of aggression against
00:19:25the th warship saying that they are going in your view what
00:19:29measures and mechanisms in your view what measures and mechanisms
00:19:33order in international law to order in international?
00:20:07the issue on two levels: the first level concerns the
00:20:11international responsibility the United States and the governments
00:20:15that supported it in carrying out attacks against Ivan, including the
00:20:19attack on the Denner Destroyer. Under this obligations, as
00:20:23member the United Nations, the United States has committed
00:20:27serious violations, including violations of article 2,
00:20:30paragraph 4 the UN charter, which explicitly
00:20:34prohibits the use of force in relations between...
00:20:50maintaining international peace and security, it is tasked
00:20:53with identifying threats to peace, responding to
00:20:57violations and preventing the continuation of war
00:21:01crimes, crimes against humanity and other actions that
00:21:05undermine international security. however, the political
00:21:08structure the security council, particularly the veto
00:21:12power granted is permanent members, including the United States
00:21:16itself, creates significant obstacles to addressing.
00:21:26the United States may be held responsible
00:21:28In addition, under other principles of international law, including the draft
00:21:32articles on responsibility of states for international
00:21:35wrongful acts adopted in 2001. These
00:21:39principles establish that states are responsible for their
00:21:42internationally wrongful conduct and must be held
00:21:46accountable for it. Article 16 of those.
00:21:50articles, which is widely recognized as reflecting
00:21:54customary international law, extends responsibility,
00:21:58not only to the principal actor, but also to states
00:22:01that help, facilitate, support or otherwise
00:22:05contribute to unlawful acts. this means that
00:22:09Iran may pursue legal action not only against the United
00:22:13States, but also against governments that provide the support
00:22:17for those actions. national judicial
00:22:21mechanisms available, including the international court of
00:22:24justice, the ICJ and the international criminal
00:22:27court, the ICC. the ICJ however faces
00:22:31jurisdictional limitations because its authority
00:22:35generally depends on the consent of
00:22:38states which can make pursuing such cases more difficult.
00:22:42the second level of accountability concerns individual
00:22:46responsibility, namely the responsibility of officials and
00:23:20basis for bringing cases against foreign states in Iranian
00:23:24courts. the United States itself has often relied its
00:23:27domestic courts to pursue claims against other countries,
00:23:31including Iran. Iran has likewise used its own legal
00:23:35system to pursue similar cases. for example, in
00:23:38connection with the 1988 attack on the Iranian naval
00:23:42vessels, Sahand, sabalan, and Joshan, legal
00:23:46proceedings were launched in recent years through the navies
00:23:54Those proceedings resulted a court ruling holding the United
00:23:57States liable. The case was brought by the families of
00:24:01those who lost their lives aboard those vessels. A similar
00:24:05legal process could be pursued by the families of those killed
00:24:09about the dinner and by the families of other victims the
00:24:13conflict. There are also other legal mechanisms through
00:24:16which these claims can be pursued and rights can be.
00:24:50atrocities including genocide. Many believe that the struggle
00:24:54against colonialism um, which is taking place in many parts
00:24:57the world today, and for which freedom
00:25:01loving nations are paying very heavy price
00:25:04for, are similar to the struggles um awaged
00:25:08by indigenous communities over the past uh several
00:25:12uh centuries uh by the US. um, in
00:25:16essence, they argue that both struggles are
00:25:20fundamentally the same, the question is, how will
00:25:23the international institutions continue their inaction
00:25:27in the face of all these seemingly
00:25:31endless level of high level of
00:25:34atrocities against the people the world?
00:25:37ببینید در خصوص نهادهایی که نقش آفرینی
00:25:41میتونن داشته باشن نهادهای بین المللی که برای when discussing the
00:25:45institutions that can play a meaningful role in supporting the
00:25:49victims of war. violence and armed conflict, there are a
00:25:52number of international bodies that come to mind. At the forefront
00:25:56is the United Nations Security Council, whose primary
00:26:00responsibility is to maintain. to national peace and
00:26:03security and to address violations that threaten global
00:26:07stability, unfortunately, because of this unique political
00:26:11structure and the veto power held by his permanent repeatedly
00:26:15demonstrated this inability, repeatedly demonstrated this
00:26:18inability to effectively respond to such crimes and acts
00:26:22of violence. as result, it has often been unable to prevent
00:26:26these abuses or reduce the devastating consequences of
00:26:30war. another institution worth mention. is the international
00:26:34committee the red cross which is responsible for promoting
00:26:37international humanitarian law, protecting victims of armed
00:26:41conflicts and monitoring compliance with the Geneva
00:26:44Convention. Despite his considerable efforts in this
00:26:48field, the International Committee the Red Cross has largely been
00:26:52limited to an observational role, although it has
00:26:55documented violations and recorded evidence of
00:26:59abuses, its level of involvement has not been...
00:27:02sufficient to stop the violence, nor has it been able to
00:27:06adequately protect victims in the face of aggression and political
00:27:10power. the problem is not a lack of legal rules
00:27:14governing warfare or the law of armed conflict. the real
00:27:17problem lies in the significant gap between the laws that
00:27:21exist and the effective mechanisms needed to enforce
00:27:25them, while legal frameworks and enforcement mechanisms have been
00:27:28developed, they have often failed to ensure the implementation.
00:28:32Thank you so much for your time today, thank you for having
00:28:36me on your program,
00:28:38and that brings us to the end of this edition of our interview with
00:28:42Dr. Ismail Karimpur, the director the department of international law
00:28:46the Iranian Army's Navy. Thank you for joining

00:30:08Headlines on Press TV, Tehran reject Washington's claim that
00:30:12energy shipments continue freely through the street
00:30:15of voruse, saying the US reliance and other countries for fuel
00:30:18contradict this
00:30:19narrative. And oil prices
00:30:23standing two-week high. Saudi oil officials won the pressure on the
00:30:27energy chain will continue and increase until the volmst rate is
00:30:31reopened. A teenage boy
