Iran elected as Vice-Chair of the UN Charter Special Committee

ParsToday - Iran's election as Vice-Chair of the UN Charter Special Committee and a member of the bureau of this legal body has strengthened the active position of the Islamic Republic of Iran in defending the principles of the United Nations Charter.

According to a ParsToday report citing IRIB News Agency, the Islamic Republic of Iran was elected as the Vice-Chair of this committee and also as a member of the bureau during the meeting of the UN Charter Special Committee held at the United Nations headquarters in New York. This election took place within the framework of the committee's internal mechanisms and through a vote by its members, demonstrating the trust of member states in Iran's constructive role in discussions on international law. The UN Charter Special Committee, established in 1974, is mandated to propose recommendations for enhancing the Organization's efficiency within the framework of the Charter.

The Special Committee on the Charter is a specialized body with a direct connection to the provisions of the United Nations Charter. Its responsibilities include addressing issues related to the maintenance of international peace and security, promoting the peaceful settlement of disputes, and strengthening the rules of international law. Iran's election as Vice-Chair of the UN Charter Special Committee comes at a time when the international system is facing serious challenges in implementing the principles of the Charter, including the principle of refraining from the threat or use of force and respect for the sovereign equality of states.

The role of the Special Committee on the Charter in strengthening the rule of law

In recent years, the increase in instances of blatant violations of the principles of the UN Charter has doubled the necessity of strengthening the legal mechanisms within the Organization. The UN Charter Special Committee, as a legal platform for defending multilateralism and the rule of law, has gained increasing importance and plays a key role in preserving the credibility of the international legal system.

In this context, Iran's election as Vice-Chair of the UN Charter Special Committee can pave the way for more active participation by the Islamic Republic of Iran in legal processes related to international peace and security and underscores Tehran's commitment to the fundamental principles of the United Nations Charter.
