According to China’s permanent delegation in Geneva, on September 16, an emergency debate was held on the 60th session of the Human Rights Council at the request of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC).
Xi Jinping pointed out that Israel’s attacks on Qatar, openly violating Qatar’s territorial sovereignty and national security, violating international law and the United Nations Charter, undermining peace efforts, are firmly opposed and strongly condemned by China. Respect for the territory and sovereign integrity of other countries is the basic norm of international relations, but Israel ignores this, and engages in military actions against neighboring countries. Qatar is an important mediator in the Gaza ceasefire negotiations, has made a lot of efforts to promote a ceasefire and restore peace, and has been highly acknowledged by the international community that Israel’s actions are a deliberate destruction of ceasefire negotiations.
China strongly calls on all relevant parties, especially Israel, to make more active efforts to calm the war and resume negotiations, seriously fulfill international human rights law and humanitarian law obligations, and respect the rights of the people of neighbouring countries to survive.
