NEW YORK: Kuwait has restated its support at the UN for the ending of the Israeli occupation of all the Palestinian territories.
In a statement before the Fourth Committee of the General Assembly, the country’s diplomatic attache of the permanent delegation to the UN, Mohammed Al-Sawagh, renewed his country’s firm stance on Palestinians gaining their political rights, including that of self-determination.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Al-Sawagh said that the right to self-determination is stated in the first article of General Assembly Resolution 1514 issued in December 1960 on granting independence to countries and people of Non-Self-Governing Territories.
Al-Sawagh said many countries had joined the UN after gaining their independence. He called on the UN committee concerned with implementing declarations to deal with countries that administer Non-Self-Governing Territories.
The diplomat pointed out that all countries must cooperate with the committee and provide accurate data on the political, social, economic and educational conditions of the region and work to develop them in accordance with Article No. 73 of the UN.
