The United Nations is failing in its duty to solve the continuing wars and conflicts ravaging the Middle East region, according to the Kingdom’s representative at the world body. Abdullah bin Yahya Al-Mo’allami, Saudi Arabia’s permanent representative to the UN, made these remarks while delivering a speech in New York on Monday. This was during a Security Council open debate on the UN’s role in maintaining international peace and security over the past 70 years.
“If we look at the Middle East region, we will find that over the past seven decades there have been no less than 15 wars, most of which were associated in one way or another with the Palestinian issue. The agonies of some of these wars are still affecting the region now,” he said.
Al-Mo’allami said the international community has failed to prevent and terminate the occupation. “We are still seeing the Palestinian people being deprived of self-determination and establishing an independent state on their national soil.”
He said these rights were set out in “legitimate international resolutions adopted by the UN, which has failed to impose and implement them. This has led to the outbreak of numerous armed conflicts in the region.”
