Geneva, Pakistan has called for an investigation into alleged Israeli war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, emphasizing the importance of accountability for violations of international human rights and humanitarian law. This appeal was made by Bilal Ahmad, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to UN offices, other International Organizations, and the Conference on Disarmament in Geneva, during his speech at the Human Rights Council.

According to Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Ahmad highlighted the urgent need for the international community to address and investigate the war crimes committed against the Palestinian people. His statement underscores Pakistan’s position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and its advocacy for the rights of Palestinians within the framework of international law.

The call for investigating these allegations comes amidst ongoing tensions and violence in the region, with Pakistan aligning itself with other nations and entities advocating for justice and accountability in conflict zones. Ahmad’s remarks at the Human Rights Council reflect a broader push by various international actors for a resolution to long-standing disputes through legal and diplomatic means, rather than military action.

Pakistan’s appeal at this global forum marks a significant diplomatic move, aiming to draw international attention to the situation in Gaza and the West Bank and to mobilize support for efforts to investigate and potentially hold those responsible for violations accountable. This stance also highlights Pakistan’s ongoing commitment to human rights and international law, aligning with its broader foreign policy objectives and its role in international organizations.
