    With the new wave of the Corona pandemic, Iran, like a number of other countries in the world is facing a difficult situation. In the midst of this situation, an approach among the Western mainstream media is trying to (mis)interpret the evidence to their own benefits by first, downgrading Iran’s ability in producing a domestic vaccine; second, by speculating that the present difficult situation Iran is facing is the result of the views of Iran’s Leader regarding importing vaccines, especially by misinterpreting his insistence on not importing Covid vaccines from US and Britain.

    The place of “humanitarian law” in Imam Khomeini’s worldview

    From the beginning of human life, conflicts and wars have been an inseparable part of human life and events such as looting, terrible massacres, and holding women and children captive in different periods indicate that violation of others’ rights and lack of commitment to humanitarian principles have been a recurrent theme in history. Unfortunately, with the development of science and technology and military equipment, the oppressive and bullying humans had no limitations in using it because the main goal was to completely destroy the enemy at whatever cost. Humanitarian law paved the way to develop some principles in an attempt to reduce savagery and cruelty in battles to not only support the victims of these armed conflicts, but to reduce the scope and consequences of the hostilities and wars of the parties to the conflict. The present Op-Ed, published by Khamenei.ir, tries to discuss and locate the principles of humanitarian law, both in theory and practice, in Imam Khomeini’s character and thought. This is done with special attention to Imam Khomeini’s leadership during the Iraqi 8-year imposed war against Iran.
