The unacceptable situation of increasing human rights abuses in Iran has become even more serious in recent years.
Despite the United Nation's important role in promoting the conservation of both human rights and world peace, after nine years of sanctions and international pressure, the worrying developments in Iran have not diminished in their intensity - quite the contrary. The question that the international community now should ask itself is: what will a regime that has repeatedly proved to be unscrupulous in violently curtailing its own citizens' freedoms and rights, be capable of doing against its sworn enemies, should they have access to nuclear weapons?
The United States has recently decided to increase the intensity and scope of its sanctions that will now also target Iran's central bank and financial sector, in order to pressure the Islamic Republic to abandon its plans for a nuclear weapon potential by strangling its oil revenues. More countries should adopt this example and be clear in their determination and resolve towards hard-hitting sanctions to strike against Iran’s appalling human rights record as well as its aggressive military ambitions.
