4 December is designated by UNGA resolution 79/293 as the International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures (#UCMs), which coincides with the day the Declaration on the #Right_to_Development was adopted (UNGA resolution 41/128 of 4 December 1986).

Unilateral coercive measures, i. e., economic/banking/financial sanctions, violate fundamental #HumanRights, including the right to development as well as the right to life, health and education.

 By targetting the lives and health of entire polulations, UCMs amount to 'crime against humaniy'.

 The United States must be held accountable for committing such crimes against humanity through application of illegal & inhuman sanctions against the peoples of developing countries including Iran.
