1. Obviously UN still gets too much of our money.
Brad ,   USA   (10.03.18)
Here's another reason to cut off U.S. funding the Useless Ninnies, and tell their puke court to go to hell.
2. A slow & steady strangling of Persia
Cameron   (10.03.18)
Week by week.

3. ICJ confirms what we already knew;
(10.03.18)
it is an irrelevant joke. has no jurisdiction. has ordered a remedy it cannot enforce. has relied on a trraty signed by an entity that no longer exist: the reasonable Iran, destroyed 40 years ago by the genocidal diapers head. The ICJ is a waste of taxpayers money, a disgrace for the rule of law, a shame for the legal profession and a prime example of the Unuseful N.
4. Al right folks, from the echo I have in Tehran a lof of
Tehraniporou   (10.03.18)
medicines is missing in some hospitals. It is time that I open a side business to the law firm and sell EU medicines (without VAT! and reimbursed by social security) to Tehran.

5. "1955 Treaty of Amity" ...
leo ,   usa   (10.03.18)
"violate the terms of a 1955 Treaty of Amity between the two countries"

Court's decision is a sham - Iran has rendered the Treaty null and void in December of 1979.

I doubt very much that President Trump will allow this UN decision go unchallenged.

7. what if the US refuses
zionist forever   (10.03.18)
The US is not exactly a small third world country that can be bullied by the UN and ICJ and so if they tell the ICJ go to hell what are they going to do about it, place sanctions on the US, the largest UN donor and be a shame if UN funding was cut or even stopped just like UNRWA over the ICJ.
The US also has a Security Council a veto and most countries rely on trade with the US directly or indirectly through parts for machinery etc via a third party which would end if there were sanction on the US.

Fact is when it comes to the US you can give them orders but if they refuse there is nothing that can be done about it.
8. Were US hostages in 1979 also in terms of Treaty of Amity
Alan ,   SA   (10.03.18)
9. OK.
Brad ,   USA   (10.03.18)
Now that the UN court jesters have given us their "ruling" from on high, let's put more sanctions on Iran and see what they think of that.
10. Trump: Cut off the evil putrid U.N. Put it out of its misery
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.03.18)
Trump, and all good, ethical world leaders, should cut off the evil, putrid U.N. completely and put it out of its misery. That would be one of the best things they could do for humanity.
11. ICJ has no jurisdiction in the matter
C   (10.03.18)
the united states is a sovereign state and it has not accepted jurisdiction.
