The Palestinian foreign minister announced on Friday that the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) had adopted a resolution presented by Palestine that calls for accountability for any assault on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories.
The resolution, presented by the mission of Palestine to the council, won the votes of 22 member states of the UNHRC, while eight voted against it, and 17 abstained, said Riyad al-Maliki in a press statement.
He hailed the supporters for the resolution for their commitment to “accountability for severe violations of international law, especially in Palestine.”
Al-Maliki accused Israel of “increasing assaults” on the Palestinians’ rights “amid its U.S.-backed plan to annex portions of the West Bank lands, which is a clear violation of the international law.”
According to official Palestinian news agency WAFA, the resolution “calls on all states to … ensure that they do not become involved in internationally unlawful conduct, and to assess the potential that arms could be used to commit or facilitate a serious violation of international human rights law.” Enditem
