OIC urges UNSC to stop Israeli attacks against unarmed Palestinians: Munir Akram

NEW YORK, (MANEND NEWS): Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations
Munir Akram says the Organization of Islamic Cooperation has decided to write a letter to the
President of Security Council to review the situation in occupied East Jerusalem and Israeli
airstrikes in Gaza.
In an interview, Munir Akram said the President of the Security Council will be asked to
condemn the Israeli aggression against unarmed Palestinians.
Munir Akram expressed the hope that UN Security Council will take a position on this issue and
it will play its role to stop atrocities being committed by the occupation Israeli forces.
He said if Security Council does not act on our letter, then a joint resolution will be tabled by the
OIC in the special session of United Nations General Assembly.
Earlier the Ambassadors of member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation
unequivocally condemned the use of “brutal” force by the Israeli forces against Palestinians in
occupied East Jerusalem, and vowed to draw world community’s attention to the atrocities.
At an urgent meeting, held in New York, they also called the assaults against Palestinians
against all humanitarian norms and human rights laws, especially in the holy month of
Ramadan.

Pakistani Ambassador Munir Akram’s proposal for issuing a joint statement deploring the Israeli
actions against Palestinians was unanimously endorsed by the OIC meeting.
