This is an exclusive interview conducted by the Organization for the Defense of Victims of Violence, titled “Twelve Days of Aggression and Global Silence: A Conversation with Peter Ford on Violations of the UN Charter\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between June 13 and June 24, 2025, the world witnessed a grave escalation of violence as Israel, with direct and sustained support from the United States, launched a coordinated and deliberate military campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Over the course of 12 harrowing days, waves of airstrikes targeted not only military infrastructure, but also critical civilian sites across Tehran and several other cities. Hospitals, residential buildings, water systems, pharmaceutical facilities, media offices, and even Red Crescent ambulances came under relentless bombardment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consequences of this aggression have been catastrophic. More than 1,100 civilians lost their lives, among them 132 women and 47 children. Over 5,700 individuals were wounded. The strikes triggered widespread displacement, panic, and infrastructure collapse in urban centers, representing one of the most severe breaches of international law in recent history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 20, 2025, eleven UN Special Rapporteurs issued a joint statement unequivocally condemning the attacks as an \u201cact of armed aggression\u201d, a \u201cclear violation of the UN Charter\u201d, and a \u201cgrave breach of peremptory norms of international law.\u201d The statement highlighted that the attacks on nuclear and energy infrastructure, civilian neighborhoods, and humanitarian facilities amounted to a flagrant violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, which prohibits any threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to these alarming developments and in line with its ongoing efforts to document and expose violations of international law, the Organization for Defense of Victims of Violence (ODVV) held a detailed written interview with Ambassador Peter William Ford<\/strong>, a veteran British diplomat, and long-standing expert on West Asian affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambassador Ford studied at the University of Oxford and served with the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) in diplomatic posts across London, Beirut, Cairo, Riyadh, Singapore, and Paris. He was appointed as the British Ambassador to Bahrain and subsequently to Syria (1999\u20132003). From 2006 to 2015, he served as Representative of the Commissioner-General of UNRWA, based in Jordan, engaging directly with humanitarian and political dimensions of the Palestine refugee crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, Ambassador Ford advises the Bahrain Royal Charity Organization and provides expert counsel to members of the British Parliament on Syrian affairs. He is a frequent contributor to international media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To benefit from Ambassador Ford\u2019s insights and extensive experience, the Organization for the Defense of Victims of Violence conducted this interview, the full text of which is provided below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. In light of Israel\u2019s attacks on Iran starting 13 June 2025, resulting in 1,100 deaths\u2014including 126 women and 41 children\u2014and 5,750 injuries, how would you evaluate these actions under international law, particularly Article 2(4) of the UN Charter, which prohibits the use of force against a state\u2019s sovereignty? Israel and the United States have cited a self-styled interpretation of Article 51 on self-defense to justify these attacks. What is your perspective on this?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    A. No serious statesman or analyst would accept the US\/Israeli attempted legal justification. Article 51 is clear that only an imminent attack can justify an aggression, and neither the US nor Israel have provided evidence of any such imminent attack. Indeed, all the indications were that Israel had been intending to attack Iran for a long time, and that Iran’s posture was defensive. The illegality of Israel’s unprovoked attack could hardly have been more flagrant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. By deliberately targeting civilian infrastructure, including hospitals, water facilities, and the Kimiadarou pharmaceutical factory, and issuing vague evacuation warnings for a city of over 10 million people, causing widespread panic and displacement, what objectives was Israel pursuing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Israel scarcely attempted to hide its intention to sow panic among the population, in the hope of fomenting unrest leading to regime change. The word ‘terrorism;’ is greatly over-used but if we are going to use it then the Israeli threats and attacks on civilian targets constituted a textbook example of state terrorism. Bearing in mind that Israel has been using these same tactics with highly visible effect in Gaza, the intention to spread terror was blatant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3.The killing of 13 civilian nuclear scientists and their families, alongside medical personnel and Red Crescent paramedics, has been described as extrajudicial executions. What actions can the International Criminal Court or other international bodies take to address these grave human rights violations?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A. In a perfect world the International Criminal Court would be investigating these killings, upon request of the injured party, namely the Islamic Republic. The ICC has investigated comparable crimes in the Gaza context. In the world in which we live, however, it has proven all too easy for Israel, operating under US protection, to flout and to denigrate investigations by the ICC in the case of Gaza, and the same would no doubt be true in the case of Iran. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Reference to the nuclear scientists prompts me to make an observation about Iran’s alleged development of a nuclear weapons capability. One conclusion which we can draw from the 12 Day War is that Israel’s own possession of a nuclear weapon capability – not admitted but known to exist – failed to deter Iran’s counter-attacks, which came close to inflicting existential damage on Israel. Why then would Iran want to develop a nuclear capability which far from guaranteeing it immunity from attack would in fact make attack more likely? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4.Given the support of certain Western governments for Israel and the inaction of the UN Security Council, how does this impact the credibility of the international legal order and the UN\u2019s ability to maintain global peace and security? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A. The response or rather lack of response from the Security Council sadly underlined the already diminished credibility of that body. A blatant unprovoked attack on a Member State went completely without condemnation, let alone stronger action. The process by which the US with its veto power protects Israel from the consequences of its actions has been developing over many years, mainly in relation to Palestinians, but protection after Israel’s launching of a war against another state takes this process to a deplorable new level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     5.Considering Israel\u2019s pattern of violating international law in regions such as Gaza and Lebanon, what legal and diplomatic mechanisms would you propose to ensure accountability and prevent impunity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A. In the face of abuse of power by the US and other Western powers in order to circumvent international law it is tempting to throw up one’s hands and say there are no legal or diplomatic remedies. The system is undoubtedly rigged in favor of the powerful. Despair, however, gives bad counsel. The fact that the Western powers still try hypocritically to exploit the UN and other international instances rather than relying on raw power indicates that there must still be hope that the system is worth trying to save. As Oscar Wilde wrote “Hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue”. Despite everything the UN remains in a sense a court of world opinion and the Western powers hate to be found guilty in that court. Even when a nugatory outcome is guaranteed it is still useful for the Security Council to hold deliberations in which the Western powers can be pilloried if not punished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In due course, with the development of the Global South and BRICS a new world order seems certain to emerge. Major changes in international institutions are likely to come about as part of that process. In the long term this is the path which must be followed to ensure accountability and prevent impunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the meanwhile, states like the Islamic Republic have no choice but to build up their defenses to deter aggressions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
