Irwin Cotler And Alan Dershowitz: "Taking A Stand Against Iran"

Irwin Cotlera, a Montreal MP, is the former minister of justice and attorney general of Canada. Alan Dershowitz is a Professor of Law at Harvard University. They wrote the following:

"Irwin Cotler, the former minister of justice and attorney general of Canada, member of Canadian parliament and co-author of this piece, is introducing legislation in Canadian parliament called the 'Iran Accountability Act.' While it expressly holds Iran to account – for its genocidal threats, nuclear ambitions and domestic repressions – it can also function to hold any signatory to the Genocide Convention to account. All signatories to the 1948 Genocide Convention (including the United States) have a responsibility to prevent genocide – and to punish incitement to genocide – that they have largely ignored in the case of the world’s greatest threat. The IAA, while a Canadian initiative, is a template model as to how to fulfill these responsibilities and take a stand against Iranian criminal actions."
