JAKARTA, February 12, 2025 (WAFA) – The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Foreign Ministers Wednesday reiterated their support for the Palestinian people’s inalienable rights.

“We reaffirm our longstanding support for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including the rights to self-determination, and to their homeland,” ASEAN Foreign Ministers said in a statement.

They called on the international community to “ensure respect for international law, international humanitarian and human rights law.”

They urged “all parties concerned to engage in meaningful dialogue to achieve a comprehensive and peaceful resolution to the longstanding conflict based on the two-state solution in accordance with international law and the relevant UNSC and UNGA resolutions, including UNGA resolution A/RES/ES-10/23 on the Admission of New Members to the UN dated 10 May 2024” which they all voted in favour.

They also called on “all parties involved to build upon the momentum of the multi-phase ceasefire and ]prisoner[ release agreement that came into effect on 19 January 2025, to maintain conducive conditions for the full and effective implementation of the agreement, and to work towards a comprehensive and durable resolution.”

They also called for “a full, safe, rapid, and unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance for the Palestinians including through continuation of the UNRWA’s role and mandate, and for the immediate reconstruction to ensure the livelihood for the people of Gaza.”
