Non-aligned nations condemn Israeli violation of Iran's sovereignty, territorial integrity
The Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) has strongly condemned Israel’s recent act of aggression against Iran that killed five people as a serious violation of the Islamic Republic's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
In a statement released on Monday, the 121-member bloc of countries denounced the Israeli regime's terrorist attack and expressed deep solidarity with the Iranian people and government, while condoling with the bereaved families of the martyrs.
By waging the attack against Iran, Israel violated the fundamental principles of the international law, the United Nations Charter, especially Article 2 (4), which explicitly prohibits the use of force against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of any country, it added.
NAM further held Israel accountable for the consequences of its deadly aggression.
In the early hours of October 26, Israeli warplanes used the space available to the US military in Iraq to fire long-range air-to-air missiles at military installations in Iran’s Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces. The assault killed four Iranian Army officers and a civilian.
NAM, the largest grouping of states worldwide after the UN, also condemned Israel's violation of Iraq’s sovereignty during the attack.
It further reiterated the inherent right of Iran and other affected countries to protect their sovereignty, territorial integrity, security, and people based on the international law and the UN Charter.
Meanwhile, the bloc urged the UN Security Council to fulfill its responsibility by openly condemning the Israeli act of aggression and taking necessary measures to prevent its repetition.
It also expressed concerns over Israel's refusal to assume accountability for violations against the Palestinian, Lebanese, and other regional nations, emphasizing that the regime should be held accountable for its disregard of international legal obligations, UN Security Council resolutions, and the International Court of Justice rulings.
