BBC World Service - Business Matters, US Ordered to Ease Iran Sanctions

ICJ orders US to remove "any impediments" to the export of humanitarian goods

ICJ orders US to remove "any impediments" to the export of humanitarian goods.

The International Court of Justice has ordered the US to ease sanctions it reimposed on Iran after abandoning a nuclear deal in May. The US must remove "any impediments" to the export of humanitarian goods. The US pulled out of its Treaty of Amity with Iran in response. David Mortlock, partner at the international law firm Willkie, Farr & Gallagher explains the links between the ICJ, the now defunct treaty and sanctions against Iran. 

Also on the programme, our reporter in Sao Paulo looks ahead to the first round of Brazil's presidential election. And we hear from James Deluca, CEO of Vinfast, the first Vietnamese car company, which is debuting at the Paris Motor Show. 

The former governor of the Central Bank of Tanzania, professor Benno Ndulu, explains how he is helping promote tech initiatives for growth in developing countries. Plus we find out from Craig Jones, director of communications at the UK's Advertising Standards Authority, why it has banned a Costa Coffee advert that suggests a bacon roll or egg muffin was a better choice than an avocado.
