These measures, he said, severely undermine human rights, especially the right to development.
Iravani noted that the General Assembly has repeatedly condemned such actions for harming global relations, trade, investment, and cooperation.
He warned that the growing use of these unlawful measures has caused significant economic damage and human suffering, depriving nations of basic rights and disproportionately affecting civilians, including women, children, and the elderly.
He stressed that unilateral sanctions obstruct access to medicine, medical supplies, and essential goods, with their humanitarian impact becoming even more evident during crises like the pandemic.
Such policies, he argued, create intolerable living conditions and amount to crimes against humanity.
Iravani said Iran will continue working to counter these measures and urged UN Secretary-General António Guterres to appoint a Special Advisor on Unilateral Coercive Measures.
