France Moves to Designate Iran’s IRGC as a Terrorist Organization
The French Parliament passed a resolution condemning human rights abuses in Iran, urging the EU to designate the IRGC and Basij as terrorist groups. This move aligns with similar actions by the United States and seeks to halt the IRGC’s operations within the EU, targeting its support for global terrorism and oppression.
On January 29, 2025, the French Parliament approved a resolution condemning human rights violations in Iran, urging the European Union to label Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Basij forces as terrorist organizations. The resolution highlights Iran’s systematic human rights abuses, including the death penalty’s misuse as a repression tool, as well as violence against women and children and discrimination against women.
The French Parliament’s resolution represents a significant step towards addressing the IRGC’s actions and advocating for human rights in Iran. It aims to motivate the European Union to freeze IRGC assets and restrict its operations across member states. Moving forward, AJC urges further international action to officially recognize the IRGC as a terrorist organization, reflecting its role in global terrorism and destabilization.
