Occupation crimes against children are a flagrant violation of international law, says Ashrawi

International

Occupied al-Quds, (ST) – Member of the PLO Executive Committee Dr. Hanan Ashrawi has condemned the continuous crimes and violations of the Israeli occupation against Palestinian children, the most recent of which was the murder of the child Zaid Fadl Qaysia in Hebron in the occupied West Bank today, stressing that it is a flagrant violation of international law.

Ashrawi said in a statement reported by  Wafa News Agency that the escalation of the occupation’s attacks and the direct shooting at the Palestinian children is a flagrant violation of international laws and agreements, including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which provides for the protection of children who are under occupation control.

Ashrawi called on the international community to assume its responsibilities and provide urgent international protection to the Palestinian people, pressure the occupation authorities and obligate them to stop their crimes against them.

She affirmed that “the international community and its bodies have a legal and moral obligation to hold Israel accountable for its relentless criminality and rogue conduct, to preserve the standing and relevance of the international rules-based system, and to ensure that the Palestinian people enjoy their inalienable and absolute rights to self-determination and freedom”.

“Peace and prosperity in the region will remain elusive so long as racist and colonial agendas that dismiss Palestinian rights are perpetuated by international inaction on the one hand and US collusion on the other”, she concluded
