Measures to eliminate international terrorism - A/80/177
🇮🇷 Islamic Republic of Iran, 🇸🇾 Syrian Arab Republic, 🇮🇶 Iraq
Thank you, Madam Chair. Congratulate you on your election to the Vice Chair of the Committee. In exercise of our right of reply, I would like to make a few coup uh a couple of points. And uh I believe the baseless uh statement by the delegation of the Israeli regime was actually a confession. They accused others of terrorism, terrorism that is exactly coterminous with their Israel with their own regime. And they showed their hypocrisy in preaching international law, while right now they are grossly violating nearly every rule, norm, or principles of international law. The vulgar, the baseless irrelevant and fabricated allegations made by the delegation of the child killing regime of Israel does not deserve any response. Yet while we categorically reject their unfounded statement, I would like to state the following. It is a dark irony that the child killing regime of Israel, which is committing genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, and has bloods of thousands of children on its brutal hands, attempts to mislead this August meeting with falsehood and platitude and playing victim. The Israeli regime has demonstrated new forms and manifestations of terrorism, including terrorism against innocent children, as its standard policy and practice in tandem with its genocidal acts. The Israeli regime in its terrorist aggression against my country on the thirteenth june twenty twenty five and onwards killed dozens of children, toddlers, babies, and even two unborn babies. And the committee could just look into the document that has been submitted before the Security Council regarding various aspects of aggression and brutality of the Israeli regime as contained in document Slash. 2025 477. In Palestine. According to the most recent data provided by the United Nations, the Israeli regime, through its network of terrorists, has killed or injured more than 50,000 of Palestinian children over the past two years. And I quote a message from one of the important United Nations bodies that simply describes what is happening in Palestine. I quote, death by bombardment, death by starvation, death by lack of aid and vital services. In Gaza, an average of 28 children a day, the size of a classroom, have been killed. End of quote. And this has been provided by UNICEF. In addition to deliberate attacks of Israel against children and civilian objects necessary for children, such as the schools and hospitals. Hundreds of thousands of children have deliberately been deprived of access to food, water, medicine, and other basic services and commodities. Right now, many of these children are subjected to starvation as a method of warfare of the Israeli regime while also facing risk of being targeted, awaiting humanitarian assistance such as food and water. The magnitude of the savagery of the Israeli regime is to the extent That due to its persistent killing of children, a new term in medical parlance has emerged as a quote, wounded children, no surviving family. End of quote, which refers to Palestinian children injured while their parents were also killed by the Israeli regime. Recently, the Israeli regime was included again in the United Nations blacklist of perpetrators of grave violations affecting children in situations of armed conflict, which is on the agenda of the Security Council. Its criminal leaders are also under arrest warrant for war crimes and crimes against humanity, including against Palestinian children. Child killing is the true designation for the notorious Israeli regime. And Madam Chair, I could continue this statement, and I don't think we would have time, even if we want to use all the time of the Sixth Committee, to describe what's happening in Gaza. Last year, just in this August meeting, we were speaking about the importance of holding the Israeli regime accountable for all its crimes to stop the ongoing genocide. And the statistics of children being killed last year was 13,000. Now it is more than 18,000. And everyone who is silent might be complicit in this ongoing genocide. The obligation to prevent and punish genocide makes it incumbent upon all member states to act now. If you want to just repeat the obligations and just condemn what's happening in Gaza and elsewhere. All as a result of the Israeli regime attacks, crimes against humanity, terrorism, genocide, and war crimes. And do not do nothing underground. Unfortunately, next year it would be the same case. The shameless delegation of the Israeli regime coming here, bragging about their crimes in the region and preaching international law. That is why I invite all member states to take responsibility and take the floor in this committee. Try to stop the genocide right now. Try to stop the Israeli regime committing egregious crimes against children in the region and beyond. That is our obligation to our future generations as well. Thank you.
Shukran. Thank you very much. At the outset, please allow me to congratulate you on your election as vice chair of the committee. I would like to exercise my right of reply. At the outset, my country totally rejects the statements made by the representative of the Israeli occupation. This statement is fallacious and is groundless. It is an attempt to justify the ongoing aggression and systematic violations of international law and of the Charter of the United Nations. The representative of the Israeli occupation forces claims to combat terrorism, but at the same time Israel pursues its crime of aggression against a founding member of the United Nations. It violates its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and it perpetrates documented crimes that have claimed the lives of many innocent civilians in Syria. The repeated Israeli attacks on our territories cannot be justified under any circumstances and constitute a flagrant violation of the Charter of the United Nations, particularly Article II of the Charter. This article prohibits the use of or the threat of use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any country. On several occasions, Israel Targeted locations and positions in Syria, including facilities under the OPC oversight, OPCW oversight. These facilities were destroyed and some chemical, dangerous chemical materials were leaked in flagrant violation of international obligations under the chemical conventions, weapons convention, posing a threat. Syrian women and children were killed during these repeated violations that reflect a systematic violation of international law. They also target civilians and their lives. They also undermine Syria's sovereignty, territorial integrity. They also violate international humanitarian law, including the principle of the principle prohibiting attacks against civilians or use of force. beyond international legitimacy. Madam Vice Chair, Syria has turned the page on polarization and alliances. Syria is sparing no effort to regain its rightsful place, its rightsful state as a sovereign state that represents the will of its people. Syria is no longer a scene for a political score settling or for an exchange of messages. Syria refuses that any external party use its territory. and called for an end to all Israeli violations immediately. In addition, the Syrian Arab Republic reserves its full right to respond and to retaliate and to defend itself under Article fifty one of the Charter, under all means enshrined by international law. Thank you. muchas gracias a la distinguida,
Shukan Estee. Thank you, Madam Vice Chair. My delegation requested the floor to respond to the representative of the Israeli entity under agenda item 109. This aggressive entity has continued to repeat its lies in an attempt to cover up the crimes that it is committing on a daily basis against the Palestinian people, which makes its name synonymous with terrorism. We are not surprised by the provocations from the entity of aggression which mentioned Iraq among other countries in the region to expand the conflict and to lead the world into the unknown. In a spiral of death and chaos, which is far removed from international law, ignoring the appeals of the international community for peace. It was not sufficient to cause thousands of victims in Palestine and other countries in the region, including the state of Qatar. This is an entity that recognizes only the law of the jungle, and which operates clearly unambiguously to spread conflict around the world. That is why we reiterate our position by demanding that the international community put a stop to the Israeli practices and the bloodthirstiness of its leaders to do so effectively so as to bring an end to this, to establish a ceasefire, and to do justice to Palestine. Thank you. agradezco al distinguido
