UN, October 23 /Xinhua/ — UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed hope that Israel will comply with the International Court of Justice's advisory opinion regarding the country's responsibilities in the occupied Palestinian territories. Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq announced this at a daily briefing on Wednesday.
According to him, the UN chief noted that "this decision was made at a time when the UN is doing everything possible to increase humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip." "Therefore, the advisory opinion is crucial to addressing the tragic situation in which the residents of Gaza continue to live," Haq emphasized.
Earlier on Wednesday, the International Court of Justice, based in The Hague, affirmed Israel's obligation to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, including aid provided by UN agencies. "The State of Israel, as the occupying power, is obliged to comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law," the court stated in its non-binding advisory opinion.
It follows a request from the UN General Assembly in December 2024, which called on the International Court of Justice to clarify Israel's obligations as an occupying power and its responsibility to ensure unimpeded humanitarian access. –0–
