The International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ordered the United States to ensure sanctions against Iran do not impact humanitarian aid nor civil-aviation safety. The ruling is a victory for Iran, which has argued sanctions imposed since May violate the terms of a 1955 Treaty of Amity between the two nations. In response, US secretary of state Mike Pompeo has terminated the treaty.
