UN General Assembly
2022

We stress Iraq’s steadfast position on the Palestinian question, all the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and respect for the historical status of Jerusalem and its holy sites. While we stress the need to preserve Syria’s territorial integrity and security, we support the holding of political talks among all Syrian parties. We also support the efforts of the Special Envoy of the Secretary-General, in accordance with relevant Security Council resolutions. Like other countries of the world, Iraq believes that regional crises and wars have consequences for all countries of the world. We also believe that peoples always pay the price for such wars. Wars impact all aspects of life, particularly energy supplies, food and security. Iraq has faced many wars and is consequently sensitive to the issue. We stress the need to find peaceful and sustainable solutions to regional and international crises through dialogue and to avoid the use of force. We call for the maintenance of international peace and security. The global economy and humankind must be saved from the repercussions of such wars.
