There is a long way to go before the UN can gain any legitimacy on anything to do with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict
At an emergency meeting held on June 13th, the United Nation General Assembly adopted another one-sided resolution against Israel. The resolution, proposed by Turkey and Algeria, deplored the use of allegedly excessive, disproportionate and indiscriminate force by Israeli forces against Palestinian civilians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and particularly the Gaza Strip. The anti-Israel resolution demanded that Israel refrain from such actions and fully abide by its legal obligations under the Fourth Geneva Convention relating to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949. It also requested the UN Secretary General to submit a report in no later than 60 days, outlining proposals on ways and means for ensuring the safety of Palestinian civilians, including on an international protection mechanism. The General Assembly resolution is virtually identical to Kuwait’s draft UN Security Council resolution that was vetoed by the United States on June 1st.
Couldnt be vetoed?
Ping.
“the veto power does not apply to “procedural” votes,”
Next UN fire drill, don’t let ‘em back in.
Has there EVER been an anti-HAMAS terrorist resolution?
... and the OIC continues to grind away at liberty and freedom....
