OIC applauds Jamaica’s recognition of Palestine, calls for global support
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has expressed its approval of the Republic of Jamaica’s decision to formally recognize the State of Palestine. The OIC views this recognition as a significant step that aligns with both international law and pertinent United Nations resolutions.
Moreover, the OIC asserts that this recognition advances the Palestinian people’s pursuit of their lawful entitlements, including the right to return and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
In light of Jamaica’s announcement, the OIC reiterates its appeal to all nations yet to recognize the State of Palestine to do so promptly. This call is grounded in the belief that widespread recognition of Palestine is vital for fostering peace and stability in the region. The OIC emphasizes the importance of adhering to the principles of the two-state solution and relevant international legitimacy resolutions as essential frameworks for achieving lasting peace in the Middle East.
This development underscores the ongoing international efforts to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through diplomatic channels. The recognition by Jamaica underscores a growing trend of support for the Palestinian cause within the global community. It reflects a broader consensus among nations regarding the need to uphold the rights of the Palestinian people and pursue a just resolution to the long-standing conflict.
As the situation evolves, stakeholders continue to advocate for constructive dialogue and diplomacy to facilitate progress towards a comprehensive and equitable resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The OIC remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote the realization of the Palestinian people’s aspirations for statehood and self-determination, within the framework of international law and relevant UN resolutions.
