The State of Qatar called on the United Nations General Assembly to take all necessary measuresto ensure an immediate halt to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, by implementing its relevant resolutions.
Qatar also urged the General Assembly to take responsibility in addressing the systematic campaign against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), in line with the mandate granted to the agency by the General Assembly under Resolution 302 (IV) of 1949.
This came in a statement delivered by Permanent Representative of the State of Qatar to the United Nations HE Sheikha Alya Ahmed bin Saif Al Thani before the UN General Assembly under Agenda item 63, entitled “Use of the Veto,” at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
She noted that the State of Qatar’s keenness on the veto initiative reflects its deep awareness of its importance in embodying the vital role of the General Assembly under the UN Charter, which grants it the authority on matters related to the maintenance of international peace and security.
She highlighted the “Uniting for Peace” resolution, adopted by General Assembly Resolution 377 (V), as a significant step in enhancing the Assembly’s role in maintaining international peace and security. page 4
