The French Parliament condemned human rights abuses in Iran and urged the EU to label the IRGC as a terrorist organization. The resolution addresses the IRGC’s role in domestic repression and international terrorism, aiming to freeze their assets and limit their activities in Europe. AJC supports further actions against the IRGC for its destabilizing behavior.
On January 29, 2025, the French Parliament approved a resolution that condemns human rights violations in Iran and calls upon the European Union to designate the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Basij forces as terrorist organizations. The resolution highlights Iran’s pervasive human rights abuses, emphasizing the death penalty’s role in repression, governmental violence against women and children, and severe restrictions imposed on women’s freedom and lifestyle.
The French Parliament’s resolution marks a significant step towards international recognition of the IRGC as a terrorist organization. The call for an EU designation aims to halt the IRGC’s activities and protect vulnerable populations within Europe. As AJC and other advocates urge action, the future designation could lead to broader sanctions against Iran’s oppressive forces and contribute to regional stability.
