\"UNGA-Raisi\"<\/p>\n

The Iranian regime\u2019s President Ebrahim Raisi<\/a> is scheduled to address the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. With pandemic challenges still not resolved, most of this year\u2019s proceedings will again be taking place virtually, but even allowing Raisi to address the assembly from abroad, or tuning into that address, gives this criminal and the terrorist regime he represents legitimacy.
\nThe Iranian people refused to participate in the June sham presidential election which resulted in Raisi\u2019s presidency, and the Iranian diaspora has spent the ensuing three months tirelessly campaigning for him to be barred from state visits and held accountable on the world stage for crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n

\n

That campaign is set to continue on Tuesday before, during, and after Raisi\u2019s speech. The Iranian expatriate community in Sweden will be hosting a conference in Stockholm to discuss Raisi\u2019s crimes and the failure of political will in the West where such Iranian affairs are concerned. However, the location of that conference is significant insofar as it calls attention to the lone example, in recent years, of a European nation actively pursuing accountability for the perpetrators of the Iranian regime\u2019s worst assault on human rights.
\nIn 2019, Swedish authorities arrested Hamid Noury, a former Iranian prison official, after he arrived in the Scandinavian country for a visit. The arrest constituted Sweden\u2019s assertion of \u201cuniversal jurisdiction\u201d over Noury\u2019s case, which involved war crimes and mass murder in Iran. The legal principle allows for any nation that is in good standing with international law to prosecute anyone within their own courts if they are believed to be guilty of the most serious international crimes, for which they will not face accountability within the jurisdiction where those crimes took place.
\nNoury\u2019s crimes rise to the standard of \u201cmost serious,\u201d and they are the same as the crimes for which Raisi is most renowned. In the summer of 1988, both men took part, with Raisi being the main element, in the massacre<\/a> of over 30,000 political prisoners, based on a fatwa<\/a> from the regime\u2019s founder and first supreme leader, Ruhollah Khomeini. The fatwa placed particular focus on the People\u2019s Mojahedin<\/a> Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK<\/a>), labeling them as enemies of God and ordering regime authorities to annihilate them in defense of the regime.<\/p>\n

\n

Insofar as this language reflects a desire to stamp out religious identities that stood in conflict with the mullahs\u2019 theocratic fundamentalism, some legal scholars have argued that the 1988 massacre constitutes genocide. UK human rights barrister Geoffrey Robertson QC and Eric David of the University of Brussels each presented that case in a conference held virtually last month by the National Council of Resistance of Iran. David stated that there would be \u201cno legal difficulty\u201d for any nation that sought to hold perpetrators accountable in their own courts, and Robertson noted that the Genocide Convention effectively makes it obligatory for them to do so if concerned parties cannot secure a UN Security Council resolution leading to charges at the International Criminal Court.
\nThis sentiment is certain to be repeated in Tuesday\u2019s conference, with participants pointing to the Noury case as a practical example of how universal jurisdiction can be used to challenge Tehran\u2019s impunity in matters of human rights. Noury\u2019s trial began last month and is expected to conclude in April. Testimony is anticipated from at least 35 plaintiffs who directly witnessed the former official\u2019s role in torture and mass execution at Gohardasht Prison. The facility was one-two site of an initial wave of executions following Khomeini\u2019s fatwa, pending additional waves at every prison facility throughout the country. The other principal site was Tehran\u2019s notorious Evin Prison, and that where in addition to Gohardash Raisi was present as a deputy prosecutor in 1988, as one of four figures to sit on the Tehran \u201cdeath commission\u201d that oversaw the entire massacre.<\/p>\n

\n

Raisi\u2019s responsibility for the massacre is many orders of magnitude greater than Noury\u2019s. The same appears to be true of the number of eyewitnesses who are prepared to provide their recollections in each case. The NCRI\u2019s<\/a> conference last month featured more than 1,000 former political prisoners who were detained at the time of the massacre. Many of them observed Raisi in Evin or elsewhere while the massacre was beginning to unfold. Many also reported that his participation was especially enthusiastic and likely helped to set the pace at which sentences were passed and implemented \u2013 several hundred per day at the peak of the massacre.
\nAkbar Samadi, one of 18 former political prisoners to post detailed video testimony of their experiences on the NCRI\u2019s website before the August conference, said that Raisi was present at the interrogation of political prisoners \u201cto ensure that no one would escape execution.\u201d Samadi added that Raisi \u201ctried his utmost to cast as wide a net as possible for the executions, and if somehow Prosecutor Morteza Eshraqi had a different opinion about someone, Raisi would reject it.\u201d
\nThe United Nations General Assembly and the prospective audience for Raisi\u2019s speech should ask themselves whether the person is qualified to lecture the international community about themes like justice and freedom. Furthermore, they should ask themselves what message they would be sent to the Iranian regime, to Raisi himself, to his victims, and to the Iranian people as a whole, if they choose to listen to his speech even though it means turning their attention away from the activists calling for his arrest and prosecution.<\/p>\n

\nRaisi\u2019s virtual address provides no opportunity for the United States or any other Western nation to implement universal jurisdiction and arrest him against the backdrop of the General Assembly. Human rights advocates should instead view it as an opportunity to command his silence, to highlight the details of his crimes in ways that will raise the political will for sanctions, diplomatic isolation, and ultimately prosecution of the regime\u2019s president at some later date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
