UNHRC Adopts GCC States, Jordan Resolution Condemning Iranian Attacks

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Wednesday unanimously adopted a draft resolution submitted by Saudi Arabia, in cooperation with other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states and Jordan, condemning Iranian attacks in the region.
 The resolution addressing the human rights implications of Iranian attacks in the region was adopted without a vote following an urgent debate requested by Gulf states and Jordan.
 During the debate, Saudi Arabia reaffirmed its condemnation of the Iranian attacks on the Kingdom and other countries of the region.
 Permanent Representative of Saudi Arabia to the United Nations Office at Geneva Abdulmohsen Majed Bin Khothaila stressed that these attacks constitute a blatant violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of states and a clear breach of international conventions and international law.
 He emphasized that targeting countries not party to the conflict constitutes an unjustifiable aggression that cannot be accepted.
 The adopted resolution condemns the Iranian attacks in the strongest terms, describing them as violations of international law, a serious breach of international peace and security, and an infringement on the sovereignty and territorial unity of states. It also calls for ensuring accountability for these violations.
 The text further condemns any Iranian actions or threats aimed at disrupting or interfering with international navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.
 Additionally, the resolution expressed deep concern over Iranian attacks targeting energy infrastructure and warned of their potential serious repercussions on the enjoyment of human rights. It calls on Iran to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817 and to cease practices that threaten regional security and stability.
