UN Human Rights Council adopts two resolutions in favor of Palestine

International

The United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on Wednesday adopted by a majority of its members two resolutions in favor of the State of Palestine.

“At the meeting of the 46th  session of Human Rights Council currently held in Geneva,  36 countries voted in favor of a resolution presented by Palestine, condemning settlements and Israeli annexation plans in the Palestinian territories, including occupied Jerusalem, while 8 countries abstained from voting and 3 countries voted  against the decision”, Wafa News Agency quoted the Palestinian Foreign Minister, Riyad Al-Malki as stating.

Al-Maliki pointed out that 42 countries voted on another resolution that affirms the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and establish their independent state, while two states abstained and three voted against it.

 

Al-Maliki stressed that the development of Palestinian decisions came in a way that is consistent with and serves the Palestinian strategy of holding the occupation accountable for its daily crimes against the Palestinian people, properties and sanctities.

Al-Maliki valued the positions of the countries that adopted and voted in favor of the two resolutions and their consistency with the basic principles of international law in protecting human rights and in accountability of perpetrators of war crimes against the Palestinian people.

At the same time, the Palestinian Foreign Minister criticized the selectivity and the double standard policy pursued by some countries in dealing with human rights issues, especially with regard to the necessity of exposing and holding officials of the occupation entity accountable for their crimes against the Palestinians. He  considered that these negative attitudes encourage global chaos and crimes and will remain a black point in their record.

The United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on Wednesday adopted by the majority of its members a resolution submitted by the State of Palestine on the human rights situation, ensuring accountability of perpetrators of crimes in occupied Palestine and achieving justice.
