, ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN vs UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA (2023)
BACKGROUND:
On the 14th of June 2016, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Government
submitted an Application to the International Court’s Registry, initiating
proceedings against the United States of America. The case concerns alleged
breaches by the United States of the Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations, and
Consular Rights, which the two nations signed on the 15th of August 1955 in Tehran,
and which came into effect on the 16th of June 1957.
THE TREATY OF AMITY (1955):
The Treaty of Amity, also known as the Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations
and Consular Rights, is a treaty signed between the United States of America and
Iran on August 15, 1955. It is an important agreement that established a framework
for economic and diplomatic relations between the two nations.
The treaty was negotiated at a time when Iran was undergoing significant
changes, including the nationalization of its oil industry, which had previously been
under the control of foreign companies. This had led to a deterioration in relations
between Iran and the Western powers, particularly the United States, which had
supported the oil companies. The Treaty of Amity was seen as a way to improve
relations between Iran and the United States.
