Therefore, the speech of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of our country has been registered in the United Nations by the representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran in New York.

Mr. President, Your Excellency Wang Yi, Honorable Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of China, p dir=”RTL” style=”text-align:justify”> Board Dear representatives present in this meeting,

Hello,

I am happy to discuss some points with you in this important meeting of the United Nations Security Council, on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Share.

The holding of this meeting today, that is, November 29, which was 46 years ago by the United Nations General Assembly as “The International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People is named, we take it as a good omen. The spirit of holding this meeting to draw attention to the humanitarian disaster imposed on Gaza is very important and valuable, but such meetings can only be considered really useful if they lead to concrete measures to reduce the suffering of the oppressed Palestinian people and permanently stop the ongoing process of generation. killing the Palestinian people, especially in Gaza.

We must openly and courageously admit that the United Nations and especially the Security Council have so far failed to fulfill their legal and moral responsibilities towards the Palestinian issue. This failure was mostly caused by the unquestioning support of the US to the occupying regime and the prevention of any effective measures to hold Israel accountable. This is a moral failure for the international community and the United Nations system, but the main responsibility lies with the powers that persistently prevent the Security Council from playing its role according to the United Nations Charter.

Today More than ever, reference is made toresolution 2217, a resolution which, although very late and with content It was issued weakly, but it is a small step in the right direction that needs to be strengthened seriously. The natural expectation of the international community was that the Security Council would intervene immediately after the indiscriminate attacks on Gaza began and prevent the continued killing of innocent people. Who can hide that the occupation regime’s full-scale encroachment on Gaza is a straitjacket that is one of the most densely populated areas in is considered the world and has been under complete siege for the past 17 years, and the killing of thousands of innocent people, more than 70% of whom are women and children, has not threatened international peace and security? The intensity and volume of civilian killings during the 50 days of Israel’s attack on Gaza was unprecedented, and the number of children and women killed in Gaza alone is more than the total number of women and children who were killed in various conflicts of the past year around the world, including the conflict in Ukraine. have arrived. This is despite the fact that the repression and killing machine of the racist regime has killed or wounded more than 3100 Palestinians in the West Bank at the same time and during the same two-month period.

Who can ignore this fact that the blind and indiscriminate bombing of Gaza using 2,000-pound bombs and other prohibited weapons, including phosphorus bombs, which did not exclude any place including hospitals, mosques, churches, and schools, are all elements of serious international crimes, including war crimes, generation Has he committed murder and crime against humanity? How can the inaction of the Security Council be justified in the face of the terrible humanitarian disaster in Gaza?

Mr. President,

Now the Security Council and its members are facing a very serious test. In a situation where Gaza has been under occupation and siege for 50 days under the most intense military attacks and has lost more than 16,000 of its children, 6,000 of whom are children and 4,000 of whom are mothers, and in a situation where more than half of the north Gaza has turned into a pile of dirt, nothing short of guaranteeing a complete halt to Israel’s criminal attacks will compensate for a small part of the international community’s moral shame towards the Palestinian people and the Islamic world.

It should be wise that the humanitarian interruption, despite its usefulness, does not become an excuse to purify past crimes and an opportunity to prepare new crimes.

Mr. Chairman,

– which continues continuously for more than 8 decades – to marginalize. Violence and conflict in the Middle East was not the choice of the Palestinian people and the nations of the region. Violence is a commodity imposed on the region by the occupation and the superior racial self-concept of the Zionist ideology. A continuous and repressive occupation that began in the 1920s, was institutionalized in 1948 and forced the displacement of one million Palestinians, and expanded in the following years through aggression and military force, and Continued to this day through the confiscation of Palestinian lands and the construction of new settlements, it reflects a racist and supremacist mentality that gives equal human rights to the people under occupation. It is not.

The crime and genocide of the Palestinian people should not be normalized. This is a legal and moral duty according to Article 1 of the Geneva Four Conventions of 1949 and the Genocide Convention of 1948. Criminals should not be allowed to make excuses for the crimes committed by others decades ago on another continent against the Jews, or by accusing critics of “anti-semitism”. “color:#2c363a”>) avoid being accountable to the international community and continue the genocide of the Palestinian nation. Legitimate and legal resistance of the Palestinian people to obtain the right to self-determination and defend the human rights and human dignity of the Palestinians is an accepted right according to the United Nations Charter and international law. No person or country or organization can deny this right from Palestinians. Describing the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people for the right to self-determination as terrorism is a clear and conscious violation of the United Nations Charter and the mandatory rules of international law, and is an immoral and reprehensible act.

Mr. President, Dear colleagues,

The Islamic Republic of Iran, within the framework of its principled policy of opposing aggression and use of force in international relations, occupation, racism and racial discrimination, as well as in line with its responsible policy to protect regional and international peace and security, It continues to support the legitimate and legal movement of the Palestinian nation to get rid of the occupation and apartheid imposed on the Palestinian land.

In the current situation, what should be the priority of the efforts of the UN Security Council and all governments is to guarantee a ceasefire. Constant in Gaza is to prevent the expulsion of Palestinians from their homeland, the immediate delivery of humanitarian food and medical aid to the people of Gaza, electricity and fuel. All Palestinians, including 7 million displaced people and Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, are directly and indirectly mourning their lost loved ones. Most of the population of Gaza lost their homes and properties during the Israeli attacks.

The world cannot remain indifferent to this obvious cruelty, which is a gross violation of human rights and humanitarian rights and an example of the most severe international crimes. The impunity of the designers, executors and perpetrators of atrocity crimes is a license and incentive to repeat these crimes. Based on this, the trial and execution of justice for the perpetrators of these crimes should be placed on the serious agenda of the international community. Governments that for decades have presented themselves as claimants of human rights and humanitarian rights and have repeatedly violated human rights under the pretext of – on very small scales and incomparable to what happened in Gaza – to instrumental use They have used international mechanisms to discredit developing countries, they failed the test of honesty and true belief in their claims. Hypocrisy and double standard in relation to human rights distorts the rule of law in international relations and makes the field more ready for criminals and violators of international law.

This is not something that any responsible and peace-loving government would like. “>Amir Abdullahian: Efforts to continue the ceasefire in Gaza continue/Reasons for the postponement of the President’s visit to Turkey
