“International law must be upheld consistently, sovereignty must be respected, and colonialism must be brought to an end. Palestine remains one of the clearest tests of these principles, and the test of our conscience.”
In my National Statement at the 81st UN General Assembly during the High-level Week of the #UNGA81 in New York (26/9), I reaffirmed Indonesia’s commitment to stand with the Palestinian people and to support their right to self-determination and independence.
The issue of Palestine also underscores why multilateralism matters. At a time of growing conflicts and deepening divisions, we need a multilateral system that is more effective, inclusive, and capable of delivering tangible results for our peoples.
