World Court orders U.S. to ensure Iran sanctions don't hit humanitarian aid
Reuters, Oct 3, 2018

THE HAGUE (Reuters) - The World Court ordered the United States on Wednesday to ensure that sanctions against Iran do not impact humanitarian aid or civil aviation safety.

Judges at the International Court Of Justice handed a victory to Tehran, which had argued that sanctions imposed since May by the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump violate the terms of a 1955 Treaty of Amity between the two countries.

The ruling is likely to have at most limited practical impact on the implementation of sanctions, which Washington is reimposing and tightening after pulling out of a 2015 nuclear deal that Iran signed with world powers.

The ICJ is the United Nations’ highest court for resolving disputes between nations. Its rulings are binding, but it has no power to enforce them, and both the United States and Iran have effectively ignored its decisions in the past in cases they have brought against each other.

The court found that assurances offered by Washington in August that it would do its best to ensure sanctions would not affect humanitarian conditions were “not adequate to address fully the humanitarian and safety concerns raised” by Iran.

When did we become part of the World Court?  Didn't we pull out of it a couple decades ago?

It has less than no power. The United States pays a huge chunk of the UN bills

"World Court orders U.S. to ensure Iran sanctions don't hit humanitarian aid"

I prepared this reply without reading further than the title line.

Tell the "World Court" to.... stuff it.
