UNITED NATIONS, Rabi'I 2, 1433, Jan 25, 2012, SPA - Reaffirming its firm support to the Palestinian cause, Pakistan on Tuesday underscored the need for implementing relevant UN Security Council resolutions to pave the way for a sovereign state of Palestine, living side-by-side in peace with all its neighbors. “We again call upon the Security Council to transform its words into resolute action,” Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon, Pakistan’s permanent representative to the U.N., told the 15-member body. The Council, he said, should ensure mechanism for implementation of its decades-old decisions on Israel and Palestine. “Otherwise it will further undermine its own credibility,” he said while participating in an open debate on the Middle East. “While we deliberate endlessly in the Security Council,” the Palestinians continue to suffer at the “cruel hands” of an occupation force, he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press. --SPA 12:02 LOCAL TIME 09:02 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/964327
