Iran–United States Claims Tribunal
The Iran–United States Claims Tribunal (IUSCT) is an international arbitral tribunal established under the Algiers Accords, an agreement between the United States and Iran mediated by Algeria and formalized through two declarations issued on January 19, 1981. The tribunal was created to address disputes between the two countries stemming from the 1979–1981 Iran hostage crisis and related incidents involving U.S. embassy staff in Tehran.
