RAMALLAH, March 23, 2018 (WAFA) – The United Nations Human Rights Council adopted in its 37^th session concluded in Geneva on Friday four resolutions for Palestine.

The majority of the member countries voted in favor of the following four resolutions:

1. Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem, are illegal.
2. The right of the Palestinian people to self-determination.
3. The situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem.
4. Ensuring accountability and justice for all violations of international law in the OPT, including East Jerusalem.

Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Riyad al-Malki, praised the vote and thanked the countries that voted in favor of the four resolutions. He called on the countries of the world to take tangible steps and not only statements to protect the people of Palestine and achieve the two-state solution.

“Palestinian diplomacy will defend the rights of the Palestinian people and will continue to work with the countries of the world to end the Israeli occupation of the land of the State of Palestine, with Jerusalem as its capital,” al-Malki said in a press release.
