The United Nations Special Rapporteur on human rights and international sanctions, Idriss Jazairy, welcomed the just reached nuclear agreement between Iran and the world major powers.
The UN expert urged all countries which have imposed coercive measures on Iran to lift them promptly and with immediate effect, in line with the commitment contained in the agreement to comprehensively lift UN Security Council, multilateral and national nuclear-related sanctions, including steps on access in areas of trade, technology, finance, and energy.
"In addition to international sanctions authorized by UN Security Council resolutions, Iran has been subjected for years to a range of additional, unilateral coercive measures decided by a number of states individually or in the framework of various regional organizations," Jazairy said.
He noted that the stockpiling of sanctions and unilateral coercive measures against Iran have had a significant adverse effect on the country's economy, its population and ultimately on the enjoyment of human rights of the people of Iran, including its right to food, health and development.
Referring to the new developments on lifting sanctions and unilateral coercive measures, Jazairy said he believes that this approach should be increasingly considered and that finally diplomatic negotiated settlements should be given prominence over unilateral coercive measures./End/
