United Nations: Pakistan welcomed the UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in war-torn Gaza and stressed that the long-awaited resolution must be implemented.
“We call for the immediate implementation of this Security Council resolution in accordance with Article 25 of the UN Charter,” Ambassador Munir Akram said on Monday when APP sought his comment.
Under the terms of the aforementioned article of the Charter, the UN member states agree to implement the decisions of the 15-member Council.
“This must be the first step to stop Israel’s brutal campaign in Gaza,” said Ambassador Akram.
“Pakistan will continue to actively work towards a just, comprehensive and lasting solution through the establishment of a secure, viable, contiguous and sovereign State of Palestine based on pre-June 1967 borders with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital,” he added .
Monday’s Council resolution called for an immediate ceasefire for the holy month of Ramadan and the “urgent need to expand the flow” of aid to Gaza.
