Jaafari: Hesitation to condemn Occupation sends wrong signal to the outlaws
NEWYORK,(ST)_ The UN Economic and Financial Committee demanded the Israeli occupation to end occupation of Arab territories , including the occupied Syrian Golan and to stop its violations of human rights and international humanitarian law , including the Fourth Geneva Convention.
By a large majority, the committee voted in favor of the draft resolutions relating to items 51 and 52 , including the draft resolution entitled the occupied Syrian Golan , submitted by Cuba and Indonesia, calling on the occupying entity to end the occupation of the Syrian Golan and the occupied Palestinian territories , withdraw to the line of June of 1967 and stop the exploitation and endangering the natural resources ,and the attacks by settlers , for the implementation of Security Council relevant resolutions , and considering the apartheid wall and settlements clear violation of international laws.
Syria’s Permanent Representative to the UN , Dr. Bashar Jaafari stressed , in a speech before the committee yesterday that Member States sent through their broad support for these resolutions a clear and unambiguous message to “Israel , the occupying Power ,” according to the terms of the United Nations itself to end its occupation of all occupied Arab lands and to immediately cease its violations of human rights and the international humanitarian law , including the fourth Geneva Convention of ” 1949 .”
Jaafari said that Israel’s violation of the international law is a grave violation since it did not only confine to the occupation of the Syrian Golan in 1967, but proceeded to pass absurd laws , such as annexing it, in a provocative stand which recalls black pages in the history of humanity , especially what happened in the beginning of II world war in Europe when a particular country assaulted the sovereignty of other countries and annexed parts of them by force.
He considered that Israel being the only voter against the resolutions is a matter of paramount significance and constitutes in itself a public letter to all attending delegations to that Israel and its rulers and politicians are not concerned with international consensus , the United Nations and international law.
Jaafari said that any hesitation in condemnation and rejection of the Israeli occupation of Arab lands , encourages the continuation of war and instability in the region and sends a wrong signal to the outlaws that the law of the jungle is a variant and that the law and lawlessness in the case of Israel is a legal exception.
Jafari stressed that the Israeli occupation supports terrorists in Syria , pointing out that Israel does not respect the principles and foundations of the international law and the provisions of the UN Charter.
Jaafariadded that the decision of the Israeli occupation authorities to annex the occupied Syrian Golan reminds us of unfair and false Nazi Hitler decisions to the annexation of the territory of Sudetenland Czechoslovak , and the Polish Danzig corridor on the eve of World War II and how much it is a critical paradox that Israel and its rulers who have been claiming that their settlement and the occupation of Palestine is as a result of the persecution of the Nazis to the European Jews, at the time they exercise the same Nazi Hitlerism policies against the Palestinians and the Syrians rights in their homeland in the Golan and Palestine of annexation of territory by force and violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1948 .
Jaafari added that the Israeli occupation policies in the occupied Arab surpassed and exceeded all colonial practices in the history of mankind , pointing out that Israel separately voted against the draft resolutions voted by an overwhelming majority at the United Nations.
