UN commission condemns US-Israel attacks on Iran as violating UN Charter

Mar 05, 2026

Geneva [Switzerland], March 5: A UN commission of inquiry condemned the attacks by Israel and the United States on Iran, saying they violate the UN Charter, which prohibits the use of force against a country's territorial integrity or political independence.
The commission, an independent body of experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council in 2022 to investigate human rights violations in Iran, expressed concern over Iran's retaliatory strikes in the region. The UN Charter is regarded as a kind of constitution for the international community. The Iranian population is now caught between a large-scale military campaign that may go on for weeks or months, and a government with a long record of gross human rights violations, the commission said.

Amid Growing Water Crisis, Chandigarh University Biotechnology Researchers Get Patent for Innovative Device to Kitchen Wastewater Reuse, Save Potable Water

Chandigarh [India], August 29: At a time when 80% of water supplied to households in India is released as wastewater even as over 60 crore people in the country are facing severe water crisis due to extreme groundwater over-extraction, erratic monsoons and rapid urbanisation, a team of Chandigarh University (CU) researchers has conceived and patented an innovative wastewater filtering device designed to provide a two-stage treatment for kitchen wastewater before it enters the drainage system, while also enabling collection of the filtered water for suitable domestic uses including gardening, irrigation and outdoor-area cleaning, thus reducing the demand for fresh potable water.
