Can the UN stop Iran's executions?

While the UN and human rights groups condemn Iran's high execution rate, their direct influence on individual cases like Najmeh Amini's is limited. Iran views such interventions as interference in its sovereign affairs. International pressure can raise awareness and impose sanctions, but rarely halts specific judicial processes once underway.
