\/…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

There was an urgent necessity for the Council to address the long standing and permanent suffering of the Palestinian people and this session must focus on the exacerbating situation of Palestinian prisoners.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MOHAMMAD MEHDI AKHONDZADEH BASTI, Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs of Iran<\/u>, said <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\/…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

The depth and expanse of the gross and systematic violations of human rights of the Palestinian people in blatant defiance of international law, numerous United Nations resolutions and human rights principles remained a matter of deep concern for all.  The Council could rise to the challenge only through relying on the cherished principles of objectivity, impartiality, transparency and consensus, stressed Iran.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

MOHAMED BUSHARA DOUSA, Minister of Justice of Sudan<\/u>, said<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Events in the Occupied Palestinian Territories in terms of systematic violations of human rights and international law should not be just condemned and denounced, but seized and perpetrators should be held to account.<\/p><\/div>\n
