Israel seems to flout UN resolutions on Palestine with impunity: Ambassador Abrar Hussain

VC-IPS Ambassador (r) Syed Abrar Hussain was invited by the Department of International Relations of Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science and Technology (FUUAST), Islamabad on 27 October, 2023 to speak at the session titled ‘Israel-Palestine Conflict- Analyzing the Role of the UN in Conflict Resolution During Last 77 Years’.

Speaking on the occasion, Ambassador Abrar said that Israel used the UN General Assembly resolution 181 as a legal basis for its establishment in Palestine in 1948 but once it was created, it started flouting the UN resolutions with impunity. Any UNSC resolution critical of Israel is vetoed by the US. Thus the UN has been effectively excluded from the politics of the issue.

The session was moderated by Dr Uzma Siraj, the head of the IR Department at FUUAST.
