WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 27th August, 2018) The United States views Iran's efforts to block new sanctions by filing a case at the International Court of Justice as a form of interference in the sovereign rights of states, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a statement on Monday.
"Today, oral proceedings before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) began in The Hague on an application for provisional measures in a case brought by Iran against the United States, Alleged Violations of the 1955 Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations, and Consular Rights," Pompeo said on Monday. "Iran's filing with the ICJ is an attempt to interfere with the sovereign rights of the United States to take lawful actions, including re-imposition of sanctions, which are necessary to protect our national security."
