Experts commissioned by the UN's top human rights body say they have found "reasonable grounds" to believe that the United States committed war crimes in two attacks in Iran, particularly the strike on a school in the southern city of Minab.

国連の最高人権機関から委託された専門家らは米国がイランでの2件の攻撃とりわけ南部ミナブ市の学校への攻撃において戦争犯罪を犯した信じるに足る「合理的根拠」発見した述べている

In addition, in a report published on Thursday, they accuse Iran's theocratic government of committing crimes against humanity against its own citizens.

加えて彼らは木曜日に公表された報告書の中でイランの神権政府が自国民に対して人道に対する罪を犯している非難している

Although this report is not legally binding, it may be added to the international evidence gathered regarding crimes committed in the Iran war and could ultimately be used to pursue justice in an international court.

この報告書は拘束力を持たないが、イラン戦争で行われた犯罪について集められた国際的な証拠に加えられ、最終的に国際法廷で正義を追求するために用いられる可能性がある。

The fact-finding mission on Iran, chaired by Bangladeshi jurist Sara Hossain, is composed of independent experts and was established in 2022 by the Human Rights Council, the United Nations' foremost human rights body headquartered in Geneva.

バングラデシュの法学者サラ・ホサイン氏が議長を務めるイランに関する事実調査団は独立した専門家で構成され2022年にジュネーブに拠点を置く国連の最高人権機関である人権理事会によって設置された

On Monday, the experts were scheduled to present their findings to the council, which is composed of 47 UN member states.

専門家らは月曜日、47の国連加盟国から成る同理事会に対し、調査結果を提示する運びとなっていた。

In response, the White House issued a scathing statement, in which spokesperson Anna Kelly said that the human rights body "has been spewing frivolous nonsense for decades while accomplishing nothing for human rights."

ホワイトハウスはこれに応じて痛烈な声明を発表し、アンナ・ケリー報道官は、人権機関は「数十年前から真面目でないナンセンスを吐き続けながら、人権のために何も成し遂げていない」と述べた。

On Thursday, Ms. Kelly stated that the only party to have committed war crimes in this conflict was the Iranian regime, which had killed thousands of its own citizens, killed Americans abroad, carried out acts of terrorism in the Strait of Hormuz, and launched indiscriminate attacks against its neighbors in the region.

ケリー氏は木曜日この紛争で戦争犯罪を犯した唯一の当事者はイラン政権であり同政権は自国民数千人を殺害し海外でアメリカ人を殺害し、ホルムズ海峡でテロ行為を実行し地域の隣国に対して無差別攻撃を仕掛けたと述べた

According to a report by an international fact-finding mission, the findings regarding US war crimes focus on two US airstrikes that killed at least 178 civilians, including women and children.

国際事実調査団の報告によれば、米国の戦争犯罪に関する調査結果は、女性と子どもを含む少なくとも178人の民間人を殺害した2件の米国空爆に焦点を当てている。

At the outset of the US-Israeli war against Iran, which began in February, at least one American-made missile struck the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, according to an investigation by journalists.

2月に始まった米国・イスラエルによるイラン戦争の開始時記者の調査によれば少なくとも1発の米国製ミサイルがミナブのシャジャレ・タイイェベ学校に命中した

No definitive account of what happened has been provided.

何が起こったのかについて最終的な説明はなされていない

According to Iranian state media, it has been reported that 168 people lost their lives in this attack, the vast majority of whom were children.

イランの国営メディアによれば、この攻撃により168人が犠牲となり、その大多数は子どもであったと報じられている。

"Following the attacks by the United States and Israel on 28 February, the investigation team found reasonable grounds to believe that the United States committed a war crime by launching indiscriminate attacks, resulting in civilian casualties or damage to civilian objects," a UN statement on the team's findings said.

「2月28日の米国とイスラエルによる攻撃後、調査団は、米国が無差別攻撃を開始し、民間人の死傷または民間物体の損壊をもたらしたという戦争犯罪を犯したと信じるに足る合理的根拠を発見した」と、調査団の調査結果に関する国連声明は述べている。

The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the press corps.

米国国務省は、記者団から寄せられたコメント要請に対し、即座には応じなかった。

In the report, the experts concluded that "the school building was the intended impact point," and asserted that the resulting damage was not the product of an errant strike or collateral damage from an attack on the Iranian Revolutionary Guard facility adjacent to the school.

報告書の中で専門家らは、「学校の建物が意図された着弾点であったと結論付けその結果生じた損害は学校の隣にあるイラン革命防衛隊の施設への攻撃による誤爆付随的被害ではなかったとした。

The Trump administration has neither directly acknowledged nor made public the findings of the Department of Defense's investigation into the bombing of the school.

トランプ政権は学校爆撃に関する国防総省の調査結果を直接認めることも公表することもしていない

The United Nations support team filed a complaint based on two attacks.

国連支援チームは2件の攻撃に基づいて申し立てを行った

One involved a Tomahawk missile that struck a "clearly identifiable" school, while the other involved a precision-strike missile that dispersed tungsten particles over a "clearly identifiable sports complex and residential area" in the southern city of Rameld, also on February 28.

1件は「明らかに識別可能な」学校に命中したトマホークミサイルによるものでもう1件は同じく2月28日に南部ラメルド市の「明らかに識別可能なスポーツ複合施設と住宅地域」に精密打撃ミサイルがタングステン粒子を散布したものである

According to the report by the United Nations support team, a total of 22 civilians, both men and women, were killed.

国連支援チームの報告によれば民間人の男性と女性を合わせて22人が死亡した

The United States Central Command denies any involvement in the attack on al-Rameld.

米中央軍はラメルドへの攻撃への関与を否定している

The investigation team concluded that killings by state security forces in Iran had occurred on an "astonishing scale," and that civilians had faced "grave human rights violations and crimes against humanity committed by their own government."

調査団は、イランにおける国家治安部隊による殺害が「驚くべき規模」で発生し、民間人が「自国政府によって犯された深刻な人権侵害と人道に対する罪」に直面したと認定した。

According to experts, over the past two years, Iranian security forces have carried out a campaign of "violent repression" through actions such as firing assault rifles at crowds, beating protesters, and arresting medical personnel.

専門家らによればイラン治安部隊は過去2年間にわたり群衆への突撃銃の発砲抗議者への殴打医療従事者の逮捕などを通じて「暴力的抑圧」を展開してきた

Experts stated that detainees were subjected to torture, denied access to lawyers, and their families were "left in the dark" about their whereabouts.

被拘禁者は拷問を受け弁護士へのアクセスを奪われ家族は彼らの所在について「暗闇に置かれた」と専門家らは述べた

They added that, as the Tehran government intensifies its use of the death penalty, more than 70 peopleincluding five women and three boysare facing an "imminent risk of execution."

テヘラン政府が死刑の適用を強化する中5人の女性と3人の少年を含む70人以上が執行の差し迫った危険に直面していると彼らは付け加えた

The statement says that the report concluded that many of these grave violations amount to crimes against humanity, including murder, imprisonment, torture, and other inhumane acts carried out as part of a widespread and systematic attack against the civilian population.

声明は、報告書が、これらの深刻な侵害の多くは、民間人に対する広範かつ組織的な攻撃の一環として行われた殺人、監禁、拷問、その他の非人道的行為を含む人道に対する罪に該当すると結論付けたと述べている。

The experts stated that the United States and Iran should halt all human rights violations and crimes and provide "full reparations to the victims."

専門家らは、米国とイランはあらゆる人権侵害および犯罪を停止し、「被害者に完全な賠償」を提供すべきであると述べた。

The experts write that this report was prepared on the basis of a "victim-centred approach" and draws on interviews with 73 people both inside and outside Iran, as well as documents, satellite imagery, photographic and video material, and information from "reliable" organisations and experts.

専門家らはこの報告書が「被害者中心のアプローチ」に基づいて作成されイラン内外の73人へのインタビューおよび文書衛星画像写真・映像資料ならびに「信頼できる」組織や専門家からの情報基づいていると記している

The ongoing conflict in Iran has been driving people from their homes, and in addition, internet shutdowns and the lack of full cooperation from both governments have partially hindered the team's information-gathering activities.

イランで進行中の紛争が人々を家から追い立てており、加えてインターネットの遮断と両国政府からの全面的な協力の欠如が、チームの情報収集活動を部分的に阻害した。

According to experts, nearly 30 requests for information made to the Iranian government remain unanswered, and the same applies to requests for information and meetings with officials that were submitted to the US government in June.

専門家らによれば、イラン政府に対する情報提供の要請はおよそ30件近くが未回答のままであり、6月に米国政府へなされた情報提供および当局者との会合の要請についても同様であった。
