Doha: The State of Qatar called on all countries and international organisations not to recognise or provide support to illegal Israeli practices, reaffirming that the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) reflects the lofty provisions of international law that must be respected.
This came in the State of Qatar's statement delivered by the Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations HE Sheikha Alia Ahmed bin Saif Al Thani, before the General Assembly 10th Emergency Special Session Draft resolution (Revision 1) Advisory opinion of the ICJ on the legal consequences arising from Israels policies and practices in OPT, including East Jerusalem, and from the illegality of Israel's continued presence in Occupied Palestinian Territories, at the UN headquarters in New York.
Her Excellency reiterated the State of Qatar's welcome of the ICJ's advisory opinion, stressing that Israel is obligated to end its illegal presence in the occupied Palestinian territory and East Jerusalem.
She noted that the court's opinion covers the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, and that the court saw that they constitute a single territorial unit, whose unity, integrity and respect must be preserved, indicating that the State of Qatar is committed to supporting the position of the court.
Her Excellency called on all countries to work towards activating the ICJ's opinion immediately and unconditionally, stressing in this context that the State of Qatar considers supporting the submitted Palestinian draft resolution a humanitarian, moral and legal duty.
