In a statement on Tuesday, coinciding with the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, the Commission emphasized the need to deliver justice for the Palestinian people and called for proactive measures to urge the International Criminal Court (ICC) to issue warrants for the prosecution of Israeli war criminals.
The draft resolution emphasizes that Israel’s Occupation of Palestinian Territories is illegal under international law, including decisions from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the UN Security Council (UNSC).
The attendees stood in silence for one minute to honor the late Iranian President martyred Seyed Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian.
The recently approved resolution correctly emphasizes that the State of Palestine is eligible for membership in the United Nations under Article 4 of the Charter.
