UN General Assembly
2024

22. Malaysia lauds the 143 Member States for their support in extending the UN’s principle of equality among nations to the State of Palestine this year. And we strongly urge for the remaining minority to join the majority. 23. It is time to realise Palestine’s right to Statehood and full membership in this Assembly. 24. It is only through the elevation of dialogue and diplomacy that we can seek a long-lasting solution. Not through collective punishment, not through man-made famine, and not through impunity and disregard for international law. 25. Indeed, the elevation of dialogue, and respect for international law, has been compromised in this Assembly for some time now. 26. Israel has violated every international law there is, including the Genocide Convention, Geneva Conventions, and core Human Rights Treaties. 27. Just months ago, the world witnessed Israel’s mockery and utter disrespect of the United Nations in this very hall, with the insolent shredding of the UN Charter.
