BREAKING: IRAN REPRESENTATIVE RAZA NAJAFI MADE THE FOLLOWING ARGUMENT TO THE ICJ ABOUT ISRAELI CRIMES

He said; “we remain at a turning point in the history” of humanity.
“The opinion of this court can set the ground for saving the lives of thousands of innocent women and children and contribute to the legitimate demand of the people deprived of their inherent right to self-determination,” he said.

Najafi then listed a series of measures that, he said, constitute the ongoing violation by the Israeli occupying regime:

– Prolonged occupation
– Altering demographic composition in the occupied territories
– Altering the character and the status of the Holy City
– Discriminatory measures
– Violations of the rights of Palestinian people to permanent sovereignty over their natural resources.

In his closing remarks at the ICJ, Iran’s representative Najafi has said that “the inaction or insufficient action of the Security Council” is one of the “main causes of prolonged occupation of the Palestinians”.

“All the atrocities and crimes committed by the Israeli regime in the past almost eight years are a consequence of such inaction,” he said.

Even today, he added, the Security Council is “paralysed due to the stalemate” caused by a “certain permanent member”.

He finished by saying the court was expected to provide its advisory opinion in a manner “that effectively and practically consolidates the rule of law” and brought “hope to Palestinians that justice will ultimately prevail”.

“We should not leave them alone and let them down” he said, when Palestinians need the support and assistance of humanity the most.

“This is a collective legal and moral responsibility, and we must fulfil it responsibly,” he added.
