Pakistan welcomes ICJ’s ruling on Gaza
The spokesperson stated Pakistan demands immediate and unconditional implementation of the latest orders of the ICJ as well as the previous orders
Islamabad: Pakistan has welcomed the additional provisional measures by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordering Israel to halt its military offensive in Rafah immediately.
In a statement, Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said: “Pakistan supports the application filed by South Africa before the ICJ against Israel under the 1948 Genocide Convention, in follow up to which the Court announced additional provisional measures”.
As required by the latest ruling of ICJ, Israeli occupation authorities should keep the Rafah crossing open for unhindered provision of humanitarian assistance and ensure unimpeded access to the Gaza Strip of any commission of inquiry, fact-finding mission or other investigative body mandated by the United Nations to investigate allegations of genocide.
The spokesperson stated Pakistan demands immediate and unconditional implementation of the latest orders of the ICJ as well as the previous orders.
She called on the UN Security Council to play its role in ending Israel’s ongoing brutal military campaign across Gaza, allowing unhindered flow of humanitarian assistance, taking effective measures to protect civilians in Gaza and holding Israel accountable for its crimes.
