Libya’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Taher al-Sunni, affirmed that Libya was, is and will continue its position towards “the just cause of the Palestinian people, their right to self-determination, the return of refugees, and the establishment of their independent state with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital.”
Al-Sunni said in a speech to the UN Security Council during a session to discuss a Palestinian application for full membership in the United Nations, according to the Libyan News Agency: “Libya does not allow condemning the resistance of the Palestinian people and trying to call them terrorists while silence and justification of Israeli terrorism and the extreme right under the pretext of self-defense.”
He added that the State of Palestine has fulfilled all the conditions for full membership in the United Nations, and that the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian State is a natural, historical, and legal right mandated by international law and international humanitarian law.
He pointed out that the decision submitted by Algeria on behalf of Arab and Islamic countries regarding granting Palestine full membership in the United Nations comes at a time when 140 countries around the world recognize the State of Palestine, or about 75 percent of the world’s population.
Al-Sunni called on the countries of the world to broadcast before their peoples that the human conscience is still alive and that they will stand in the face of this aggression against Palestine and humanity as a whole.
It is noteworthy that the United States of America failed to fully recognize the state of Palestine after using its veto, while Britain abstained from voting.
