Iran attaches great importance to multilateralism in the work of the disarmament conference

According to the foreign policy group Tasnim news agency, the fourth The meeting of the disarmament conference turned into a scene of support for the Palestinian people by more than 20 member countries of the conference, and the Israeli regime and its most important supporter, the United States, prevented the Palestinian people from enjoying the right to self-determination and presence by preventing the Palestinian observer from participating in the disarmament conference. They became active in the international community.

Mehdi Aliabadi, Deputy Representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran at the European Office of the United Nations in Geneva, in the fourth session of the Conference on Disarmament, which was held in order to decide on the participation of non-member states in The activities of the 2024 disarmament conference was held as an observer, while rejecting the claims of the American representative that Palestine is not qualified to participate in the disarmament conference, he emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran attaches great importance to multilateralism in the work of the disarmament conference and the participation of countries Non-members are welcome in the conference meetings to perform their duties. Aliabadi added: The Palestinian government is also an observer state at the United Nations and a member state of various international documents. In the field of disarmament, it has the right to request to participate in the meetings of the disarmament conference. However, once again we see that the implementation of double standards by governments that hypocritically support comprehensiveness and multilateralism prevent the participation of the Palestinian government. The United States rejected the statement that since Palestine is not a sovereign state, therefore it has no right to participate in the meetings of the Disarmament Conference, and said that the overwhelming majority of UN members recognized the state of Palestine and recognized the country’s right to participate in the meetings. They sign internationally. The Palestinian Authority is a member of many international organizations, especially important disarmament treaties such as the Convention on the Prohibition of Biological Weapons and the Convention on the Prohibition of Certain Conventional Weapons. The rejection of the Palestinian request for participation in the disarmament conference by the Israeli and American regimes is another step in the direction of depriving the Palestinian people of the right to self-determination and participation in the international community.

Conference Disarmament, with 65 members, is the only multilateral negotiating body for concluding international treaties in the field of disarmament. According to the procedure of this international organization, non-member governments have the right to announce their request to participate in the activities of this important international organization. Due to the necessity of achieving consensus in the decisions of the arms conference, with the opposition of the United States and the fake Israeli regime, Palestine was denied participation in the activities of the disarmament conference in 2024.
