Regarding the recent events of human rights in the world, I vividly remember engaging discussions with professors about the intricacies of international law.
In our discussions about the functions of international law, one important point was often highlighted: The international legal system is still in its infancy and far from reaching maturity. This analysis underscored the inherent imperfections and failures within the system.
Years have passed since those university days, yet the question remains largely unchanged:
When will we witness the maturation of this international system? It’s time for significant reforms.
Does the world require another monumental crisis, beyond the current challenges, to catalyze these necessary changes?
Israel-Gaza war
In fact, the call for reform is not just about enhancing legal structures but about ensuring that the international system can effectively manage and mitigate global crises.
- The Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988):
More than four decades have passed since the devastating chemical attacks by Iraq under Saddam Hussein’s regime, yet the residents of border towns in northwestern Iran, such as Sardasht, continue to endure the harrowing consequences. The long-term health effects on survivors of chemical attacks include chronic respiratory conditions, skin diseases, cancer, and eye problems.
Even the next generations are affected by the effects of these chemical attacks!
- Documentary on chemical weapons :
Questions about the future of such devastating tactics persist. Is the threat of chemical attacks truly a thing of the past, or does it linger, potentially exacerbated by modern technological advancements, especially those in artificial intelligence (AI)?
While the world continues to face environmental challenges, the occurrence of successive wars poses a significant threat to the international efforts aimed at preserving the environment.
