Iran falsely calls the jailing of former official Hamid Nouri “illegal,” but universal jurisdiction gave Sweden the right to try him for war crimes.
“Hamid Nouri, a former Iranian judiciary official who has been illegally incarcerated in Sweden … said his trial has not been fair."On January 11, appeals court proceedings began in the case of Hamid Nouri, a former Iranian official whom a Swedish court sentenced to life in prison for his role in the mass execution of Iranian political prisoners in 1988.of “murder” and a "serious crime against international law” in July.
Sweden tried Nouri for war crimes under universal jurisdiction, which allows a country to prosecute international crimes committed on foreign territory by foreign nationals.“most delegations affirmed that the principle of universal jurisdiction was enshrined in international law and constituted an important tool in the fight against impunity for serious international crimes.
But the Swedish court said it was not important if those crimes had been committed in the context of an international or non-international context.“[I]nternational law does not require that there is a link between the case and a state for the state to exercise universal jurisdiction to be exercised. As such, there are no formal restrictions to a Swedish Court’s competence to exercise universal jurisdiction under international law.
