Saudi Arabia at UNHRC: What rights are we talking about while Gaza is under the ashes?
At the UN Human Rights Council, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan expressed deep concern over the grave situation in Gaza and Israeli threats to attack Rafah, stressing the urgent need for a ceasefire and a fair, comprehensive peace process.
He questioned the legitimacy of human rights discussions that overlook the plight of Gaza, where people suffer severe human rights abuses and displacement.
Prince Faisal criticized the UN's failure to act and called for accountability, adherence to international resolutions, and the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
He highlighted Saudi Arabia's opposition to international double standards and the nation's commitment to human rights as part of its Vision 2030 program.
Prince Faisal called for respect for cultural differences in the human rights discourse, while Saudi Arabia continues to develop its national rights framework, emphasizing labor, immigrant policy reforms, and women's empowerment.
During his speech, Prince Faisal condemned the inaction of the Security Council despite 30,000 deaths in Gaza and widespread deprivation. He urged the implementation of UN Resolution 2720, the lifting of restrictions on aid, and the activation of humanitarian mechanisms to ease suffering in Gaza.
The Saudi delegation to the UNHRC session included key human rights and foreign affairs figures from the Kingdom.
