Iran to UN: Israel’s raid on aid convoy threatens intl. security
TEHRAN, June 7 (MNA) – Iran’s foreign minister has called on the United Nations Security Council to adopt a resolution against the Zionist regime to prevent Tel Aviv from committing further crimes.
Iran believes that the Security Council should regard the Israeli attack on the Freedom Flotilla as a threat to the international peace and security and adopt a resolution under the Chapter VII of the UN Charter, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki told an emergency meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Conference in Jeddah on Sunday.
The Israeli military attacked the Freedom Flotilla in international waters in the Mediterranean Sea early on May 31, 2010, killing 9 people on board the six ships, mostly Turkish nationals, injuring about 50 others. Some human rights activists are still missing.
The attack triggered an international outcry.
Bring Zionist leaders to book
Mottaki also suggested that all should cooperate to bring the Zionist leaders behind the May 31 crime to justice.
The Security Council, the Human Rights Council, the UN General Assembly and other UN institutions as well as other international organizations should take practical measures to put the perpetrators on trial, he insisted.
Mottaki called Israeli’s attack on the aid convoy an act of state terrorism and piracy.
“The international community must realize that the raid on aid ships has pushed the sensitive Middle East region into a highly volatile situation,” he stated.
He went on to say that the Palestine issue “is no longer an Arab or Muslim issue, rather it has been turned into the most important human rights issue in the world.”
He also hailed the idea proposed by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to establish a fact-finding committee about the May 31 tragedy.
