i would like to highlight as an example the contribution made by the international court of justice. the primary jew dish body of the united nations system which has been able to effectively resolve disputes in states across the world in different situations and complaints. brothers and sisters, it is crucial to have a discussion not just on the effects but above all on the structure and root causes that lead to war. and on the genuine and true motivations of the assaults on international peace, security and justice we are seeing. let us take the example of iran, a country which has been referred to this morning. in 1953, the united states financed, planned, implemented a coup d'etat against a democratically elected government which in exercise of its legitimate sovereignty nationalized its oil production in the hands of an angelo company. after that for many decades, the united states supported and -- which allowed the profit from oil production to line the pockets of transnational companies. this situation had the revolution of 1979. now that iron has retaken -- iran has retaken con
