A United Nations fact-finding mission has concluded that there are grounds to believe the United States committed war crimes in Iran, while also finding that Iranian authorities committed crimes against humanity during their crackdown on recent protests.
The report, which will be discussed by the United Nations Human Rights Council, highlights severe human rights violations attributed to both governments. However, the fact-finding mission itself lacks the jurisdiction to bring criminal cases regarding the findings.
