US killing of Iran's top general Qasem Soleimani 'a violation' of UN charter, UN investigator says

Agnes Callamard says the US drone strike that resulted in an"arbitrary killing" violated the UN charter.

Agnes Callamard, the UN special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, concluded on Tuesday that it was an "arbitrary killing" that violated the UN charter. Soleimani, a national hero at home, was "the world's top terrorist" and "should have been terminated long ago", Trump said at the time."In light of the evidence that the US has provided to date, the targeting of General Soleimani, and the deaths of those accompanying him, constitute an arbitrary killing for which, under IHRL , the US is responsible," Callamard said in her report.

"No evidence has been provided that a drone strike in a third country was necessary or that the harm caused to that country was proportionate to the harm allegedly averted.

Un always being useless, US is certainly not good but suleimani was also evil.

To be honest, I am surprised UN concluded, which majority people already aware that USA killed General Q Soleimani. What is going to happen next? Members in UN will sanctions USA? Fine? What will UN do to send a strong message to the rest of the countries?

لعنة الله عليه هذا الكلب سليماني وعاشت ايده لترامب على هذا الفعل الشجاع
