Today, during #Iran’s side event entitled “The Criminal Attack on the Girls’ School in Minab" at #UNOG, the #UN Special Procedures mandate holders — @UNSR_EDUCATION, @UNSRVAW, @gkatr, and @adequatehousing — condemned the criminal attack on the Minab elementary school, in which over 160 students aged 7–12 were massacred. All panelists unanimously affirmed that targeting innocent students is not a demonstration of power but a lasting mark of disgrace and ignominy, and that the attack constitutes a war crime and a grave violation of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law. The killing and abuse of children — especially young girls — is an affront to human dignity and the conscience of humanity. Such atrocities must be unequivocally condemned both morally and legally. The United States, the Israeli regime, and the individuals from these countries who were involved in perpetrating this atrocity, must be held accountable and brought to justice. #Minab
