A UN expert has urged countries, including Australia, to consider listing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation due to its alleged role in the Hamas-Israel war and involvement in human rights abuses and corruption.
As Iran faces scrutiny for its alleged role in the Hamas-Israel war, a UN expert has urged countries, including Australia , to consider listing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ( IRGC ) as a terrorist organisation . During a trip to Australia , the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights in Iran , Javaid Rehman, told SBS Persian that he "does not see any issue" with recognising IRGC as a terrorist organisation if governments are convinced by his reports.
"The evidence that I have seen shows the role of IRGC in the killing of protesters, their activities outside of Iran, such as supporting Hamas or Hezbollah, and widespread corruption and human rights abuses," Mr Rehman said. "I think it's important for the governments of Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and all of the world's governments to look into the role of the IRGC." In 2011, the UN Human Rights Council re-established the mandate under the title Special Rapporteur on the Situation of Human Rights in the Islamic Republic of Ira
