Consequences of Impunity
Failure to hold accountable for war crimes can have profound consequences for the international community. Zarif emphasized that if the international community does not respond to these crimes, it could lead to increased distrust among countries and weaken the international legal system. According to him, these events will be dangerous not only for the victims of these crimes but also for the future of global stability.
Ultimately, Mohammad Javad Zarif, referring to individual criminal responsibilities, called for decisive action from the international community against these crimes.
