| dbo:abstract | Certain Iranian Assets (Islamic Republic of Iran v. United States of America) is the formal name of a case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The application was lodged by Iran against the United States on 14 June 2016, on grounds of violation of Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations and Consular Rights, shortly after Bank Markazi v. Peterson was decided by the United States Supreme Court. The Iranian case seeks the unfreezing and return of nearly $2 billion in assets held in the United States. The case focuses specifically on assets seized from the Iranian national bank, Bank Markazi. These funds were seized to compensate victims of a 1983 suicide bombing of a Marine Corps base in Beirut, Lebanon, which has been tied to Iran. The attack killed more than 300 and injured many more, including U.S. military members. Iran has argued in the case that, among other things, the United States has failed to accord Iran and Iranian state-owned companies, and their property, sovereign immunity, and failed to recognize the juridical separateness of Iranian state-owned companies. The ICJ rejected most of preliminary objections made by the United States and accepted jurisdiction over the case. On 13 February 2019, out of three United States jurisdictional objections, the ICJ dismissed one, upheld another and postponed another to the merits phase. The United States filed its Counter-Memorial on 14 October 2019. On 15 November 2019, the ICJ authorized the submission of a Reply brief by Iran and a Rejoinder by the United States on 17 August 2020 and 17 May 2021, respectively. (en) |
