“The WCC has advocated for these measures as the only viable path to a just and sustainable peace in the region,” said Pillay in a press statement. “This stance was affirmed by the WCC 11th Assembly in 2022, held in Karlsruhe, Germany.”
“Nevertheless, all States committed to the rule of law for the resolution of conflict and the promotion of peace and human rights, and all people of goodwill, should seize the opportunity presented by this Advisory Opinion by the UN’s highest legal tribunal to re-galvanize efforts for the resolution of this longstanding injustice and source of conflict,” he added.
