The UN’s highest court ruled on Wednesday that it will proceed with Iran’s legal bid to overturn US nuclear sanctions that were reimposed by former US president Donald Trump’s administration.
International Court of Justice (ICJ) President Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf said the 16-justice panel rejected Washington’s procedural objections and that the court would hear a case brought by Iran in 2018.
In an hour-long ruling at the court’s Great Hall of Justice at The Hague in the Netherlands, Mr Yusuf said the tribunal finds consequently that it has jurisdiction.. to entertain the application filed by the Islamic Republic of Iran .
