Arab-Islamic summit: PM Kakar demands int’l community hold Israel accountable for war crimes

“Israel’s incessant flouting of international law with impunity has few parallels in history,” he added.

He stressed that the Israeli occupation forces were in clear violation of international humanitarian and human rights law, and their indiscriminate and disproportionate use of force amounted to war crimes and crimes against humanity.

PM Kakar called on the international community to hold Israel accountable for its crimes.

“The UN secretary-general could be requested to establish a special commission of inquiry to investigate Israel’s war crimes and crimes against humanity since October 7,” the prime minister said.

Prime Minister Kakar underscored the urgency of bringing an end to Israel’s campaign of terror with an immediate and unconditional ceasefire, lifting of the siege of Gaza, and rapid and unhindered humanitarian and relief assistance for the people of Gaza.

Prime Minister Kakar underlined that the root cause of the current situation was the perennial settler colonialism and denial of the right of self-determination of the Palestinian people.

He also reaffirmed Pakistan’s solidarity and support for the Palestinian people and for their right to self-determination.

The Prime Minister underscored that an early establishment of a viable, secure, contiguous and sovereign state of Palestine on the basis of the pre-June 1967 borders and with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, was the only guarantee for lasting peace and security in the region.
