UN tribunal Court orders US to ensure Iran sanctions do not impact humanitarian aid, civil aviation safety

The UN's top court Wednesday ordered the United States to lift sanctions on "humanitarian" goods to Iran that President Donald Trump reimposed after pulling out of Tehran's nuclear deal.

The International Court of Justice unanimously ruled that Washington "shall remove by means of its choosing any impediments arising from the measures announced on May 8 to the free exportation to Iran of medicines and medical devices, food and agricultural commodities" as well as aeroplane parts, said judge Abdulqawi Ahmed Yusuf.
