SAEDNEWS: Iran’s mission to the UN Office in Geneva has urged the United Nations to conduct an immediate and comprehensive investigation into the role of mercenary networks backed by foreign governments in the Israeli regime’s recent aggression.
According to Saednews, The request was made in a letter addressed to the UN Working Group on the use of mercenaries as a means of violating human rights and impeding the exercise of the right of peoples to self-determination.
The mission urged the experts to examine objectively and impartially the deployment of mercenaries in the latest acts of aggression.
Citing documented evidence, it asserted that the Israeli regime has orchestrated networks of mercenaries to carry out targeted assassinations of scientists and senior military commanders, attacks on civilians, coordinated bombings, and the use of armed drones deep inside Iran.
The letter said these actions flagrantly violate the UN Charter, breach the 1989 International Convention against the Recruitment, Use, Financing, and Training of Mercenaries, and contravene fundamental principles of international human rights and humanitarian law.
Referring to official figures showing over one thousand fatalities resulting from these attacks, the letter requested that the Working Group undertake prompt investigations and include its findings in upcoming reports to the UN Human Rights Council and General Assembly, publicly condemning the use of mercenaries.
Iran’s mission also called on the Working Group to cooperate with relevant bodies to ensure accountability for those responsible.
In closing, the Iranian mission in Geneva emphasized the urgency and sensitivity of the matter, urging the UN body to take decisive, fair, and responsible action.
The Israeli regime, during its 12-day aggression against Iran, used mercenaries for sabotage and drone operations inside the country, including destroying Iran’s air defense and missile platforms.
These mercenaries used Israel-made Spike missiles and remote-controlled launchers, some equipped with internet-based automation, to disable Iranian systems.
Authorities discovered covert drone production sites in places like Shahr-e Rey in southern Tehran, where Israel-recruited agents assembled UAVs and explosives.
