He added: The choice of Geneva to hold this dialogue was not without reason, just as the choice of this time also has a clear reason.

The Head of the Diplomatic Service stated that Geneva was the place of development and compilation of the most important achievements of human civilization to make the war a little more humane, and stated: Geneva Four Conventions of 1949 as an extract of the historical efforts of mankind. Armed conflicts are considered to be humane rules, and according to their common article, all governments are not only obliged to comply with its rules, but must also ensure that others comply with them.

Amir Abdullahian He noted: From this point of view, the Palestinian resistance is a liberating and legitimate movement, not a terrorist group. Another point is that there is no logic and basis for giving the right of legitimate defense to the occupying regime. On the 40th day of the continuous bombing of Gaza and just three days after the summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation will be held in Jeddah on November 18, he added: In paragraph 11 of the final resolution of the summit, Islamic countries are obliged to increase diplomatic efforts to shed light on the humanitarian disaster in Gaza and Efforts have been made to stop war crimes against the defenseless people of Palestine.

Amir Abdullahian further mentioned his presence in Geneva and said: My presence in Geneva and in this meeting at the center of humanitarian dialogues and consultations The compact that I will have with some international organizations based in Geneva is in line with the fulfillment of the duty that I assume as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran on behalf of the Iranian people, based on the responsibility assigned by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

He further addressed the audience and added: Today, talking about international humanitarian law and the need to observe it is not a theoretical and abstract discussion. On the contrary, today is exactly one of those critical times to show that what we have talked about for years in diplomatic conferences and academic circles and enumerated its merits, is used in the practical field and is considered valid.

The foreign minister said: the legal and moral standing and validity of international humanitarian law has been subjected to a very serious test. Let’s not allow an occupying and apartheid entity to challenge and ridicule the dignity and credibility of international systems in the field of humanitarian rights. As representatives of the governments and all of us as human beings, we have a duty and responsibility to stop the catastrophic lawlessness that is destroying, killing and destroying every moment. Common Article 1 of the Quadruple Conventions of 1949 in Geneva defines the duty. Article 1 of the Genocide Convention has also clarified the legal duty of states to prevent genocide, a duty which, according to the express opinion of the International Court of Justice, has an extraterritorial nature.

Furthermore, stating that the occupying regime insists on not observing and grossly violating international humanitarian law and committing crimes that are simultaneously described as war crimes, genocide crimes, and crimes against humanity, he said: But this should not only cause us to be inactive. But it should make us firmer in our commitment to “ensure compliance” with the rules of the Geneva Conventions and prevent a full-scale genocide. The continuous, obvious and severe violations of humanitarian rights are an irreparable blow to the principle of the rule of law and the validity of international law.

These forty days have been more than three times the explosive power of the American atomic bombs in Hiroshima.
