Kuwait renews support for ending Israeli occupation of Palestine
New York (QNN)- Kuwait has reaffirmed its support for the ending of the Israeli occupation of all the Palestinian territories and for Palestinians gaining their political rights, including that of self-determination.
In a statement before the Fourth Committee of the General Assembly, the country’s diplomatic attache of the permanent delegation to the UN, Muhammed Al-Sawagh, renewed his country’s firm stance on Palestinians gaining their political rights.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Al-Sawagh said that the right to self-determination is stated in the first article of General Assembly Resolution 1514 issued in December 1960 on granting independence to countries and people of Non-Self-Governing Territories.
Al-Sawagh added that many countries had joined the UN after gaining their independence. He called on the UN committee concerned with implementing declarations to deal with countries that administer Non-Self-Governing Territories.
The diplomat pointed out that all countries must cooperate with the committee and provide accurate data on the political, social, economic and educational conditions of the region and work to develop them in accordance with Article No. 73 of the UN.
Al-Sawagh pointed out that this is “the only solution to reach a lasting, comprehensive and just peace in accordance with the relevant Security Council resolutions, the principle of land for peace, the road map and the Arab Peace Initiative.”
Kuwait has long upheld a strict pro-Palestine stance and refused to normalise ties with the occupation state.
