MALAYSIA WELCOMES ADDITIONAL PROVISIONAL MEASURES TO STOP GENOCIDE IN GAZA
MALAYSIA WELCOMES ADDITIONAL PROVISIONAL MEASURES
TO STOP GENOCIDE IN GAZA
Malaysia welcomes the additional provisional measures granted by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on 28 March 2024 in the case concerning the application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in Gaza.
Despite the adoption of resolution 2728 (2024) on 25 March 2024, Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) continued military operations across Gaza, causing further civilian casualties, displacement, destruction of houses and other civilian infrastructure. These acts are in blatant disregard of international law and numerous resolutions of the United Nation Security Council, General Assembly and the Human Rights Council.
Malaysia urges the international community to intensify pressure on Israel and demand it to fulfil its obligations, uphold the sanctity of international law and stop its continued belligerence against Palestinians in Gaza who are now stricken with famine, malnutrition and disease.
Malaysia remains committed to the Palestinian cause and will continue efforts, within its means and capabilities, for the establishment of an independent and sovereign State of Palestine, based on the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as well as the admission of Palestine as a full Member of the United Nations.
