OIC Welcomes Historic UN Resolution Demanding End to Israeli Occupation

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has welcomed the adoption of a historic resolution by the UN General Assembly, affirming the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the illegality of the Israeli occupation. The resolution calls on Israel to end its presence and dismantle its illegal colonial settlements in Palestinian territories within a maximum of 12 months.
The OIC considered this resolution a reflection of the international consensus on the justice of the Palestinian cause and the unwavering support for the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent, sovereign state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, SPA reported.
The OIC urged all nations to fulfill their responsibilities and take individual and collective measures to ensure Israel's compliance with its obligations under international law and relevant international resolutions, including the ICJ's advisory opinion. The organization also called for justice, international protection for the Palestinian people, and an end to the Israeli occupation and colonial settlements.
The OIC reiterated that the Palestinian issue remains a priority on its agenda and political efforts, particularly during the 79th session of the UN General Assembly.

The organization expressed its support for calls to convene an international conference to implement relevant UN resolutions on Palestine and the two-state solution as part of broader global efforts to achieve a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace in the region.

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned on Monday “the continued escalation of war crimes” by Israeli force against Palestinian citizens, particularly in the northern Gaza Strip.

The OIC viewed these actions as part of attempts at forced displacement, ethnic cleansing, and genocide against the Palestinian people.

It held Israel responsible “for the ongoing aggression and organized terrorism practiced against the Palestinian people, which has resulted in the martyrdom of more than 42,654 citizens and the injury of over 100,000 others, mostly women and children. Thousands remain missing under the rubble.”

The OIC called for sanctions on Israel, the occupying power, and for it to be held accountable for all ongoing crimes and violations.

Additionally, it renewed its call on the UN Security Council “to assume its responsibilities, implement its resolutions, impose an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire, and put an end to the ongoing violations of international law and relevant UN resolutions by Israel.”
