The Argentine Government is fighting a tough legal battle against the two main Jewish organizations in the country. AMIA and DAIA had challenged in court the Memorandum of Understanding signed by Tehran and Buenos Aires to jointly probe the bombing of a Jewish community center in 1994. The same organizations hold Iran accountable for the incident despite they could never submit to the court any evidence to prove the allegations.
The Israeli entities filed a lawsuit against Argentina days after the deal was approved by the Parliament arguing that the agreement was unconstitutional. On Wednesday the Foreign Office presented in the Federal Appeals court conclusive evidence to rebut what the Foreign Minister called "groundless accusations"
The Foreign Office also provided the Federal Appeal Court with detailed particulars about the thorough legal proceedings carried out in Iran and Argentina before signing the bilateral agreement. Those include hearings with international legal experts and the families of the victims. Local Zionist organizations ignored the evidences and upheld the lawsuit against Argentina.
Even though the Memorandum of Understanding between Argentina and Iran was passed into law by the Argentine Parliament with an overwhelming majority, the Israeli organizations challenged its lawfulness at a lower court. Prominent jurists criticized the move and said that bilateral agreements between two sovereign nations have constitutional status and cannot be revoked by any court.
The Federal appeal court will now have up to 20 days to analyze the evidences presented the Foreign Office and is expected to rule its decision in the coming weeks.
