The Arab Observatory for Human Rights (AOHR) called on the United Nations General Assembly to activate its Resolution "Uniting for Peace" No. 377 to stop Israel’s war on Gaza Strip.

In a statement on Thursday, the Observatory, which is affiliated with the Arab Parliament, also called on it to provide legal support and crimes documentation to the requested investigation by the Palestinian Authority from the International Criminal Court.

AOHR expressed concern over the continuation of the Israeli war in Gaza, which will cause dire consequences for the security and stability of the whole Middle East region.

It called on the international community and the International Criminal Court to take urgent action and investigate the war crimes committed by Israeli forces against the defenseless Palestinian people in Gaza.

Additionally, the Observatory urged the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to form an international fact-finding committee that focuses on human rights violations and other war crimes committed in Gaza.

OIC Condemns Statements by Israeli Officials on Imposing Sovereignty Over West Bank

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned the statements by officials in the Israeli occupation government calling for annexing and imposing the alleged Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank.

 

It is considered a flagrant violation of the resolutions of international legitimacy and international law, and an attempt to undermine international efforts geared toward a two-state solution, SPA reported.

The OIC warned of the dangerousness of such statements and continued incitement pursued by the Israeli occupation's leaders and extremist settlers against the Palestinian people as well as their land and sanctities.

It reiterated its call for the international community to recognize the State of Palestine, endorse its full membership at the United Nations, and take the required measures to end occupation and illegal settlement of the occupied Palestinian territories pursuant to the relevant UN resolutions and the advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice.
