Pakistan on Monday has called for the immediate and full implementation of International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) Advisory Opinion regarding Occupied Palestinian Territories.
In a press release, Pakistan Foreign Ministry said on Monday that it welcomes the Advisory Opinion by the ICJ on the ” Legal Consequences arising from the Policies and Practices of Israel in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem”.
The ICJÂ’s ruling clearly stated that IsraelÂ’s unlawful policies and practices in the Occupied Palestinian Territory are in breach of IsraelÂ’s obligation to respect the right of Palestinian people to self-determination”.
The ministry recalled Pakistan’s written submission to the ICJ on the case issued in July 2023, and its participation in the oral public hearing held by the ICJ on the case in February 2024. ” We hope that the CourtÂ’s ruling will be an important step towards ending the Israeli occupation, realization of the inalienable right of the Palestinians to self-determination
, and creation of a viable, secure, contiguous and sovereign State of Palestine on the basis of the pre-1967 borders and with Al-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital,” Foreign Office concluded.
