The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia participated in the general debate under Item 2 of the 61st session of the Human Rights Council, during which Saudi Arabia's Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office and other international organizations in Geneva Ambassador Abdulmohsen Bin Khothaila delivered the Kingdom's statement expressing the strongest rejection and condemnation of the blatant and cowardly Iranian attacks targeting Riyadh and Eastern regions, noting they cannot be justified under any pretext, SPA reported.
The Kingdom also strongly condemned the Iranian attacks against the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Jordan, labeling them a flagrant violation of state sovereignty, the principles of good neighborliness, international law, and the UN Charter.
The statement emphasized that these attacks targeted civilian facilities and residential areas, threatening lives and violating international humanitarian and human rights laws while undermining regional stability.
Consequently, the Kingdom affirmed it will take all necessary measures to defend its security, territory, and residents, while calling upon the international community to strongly condemn these attacks due to their serious repercussions for regional and international peace.
