Ramallah, Dhu-AlHijjah 25, 1438, Sep 16, 2017, SPA -- The Secretary General of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization Dr. Saeb Erekat affirmed that the right of the victims of the Palestinian people, wherever they are, will not be subject to statute of limitations, adding that the State of Palestine will prosecute the Israeli war criminals, hold them accountable for their crimes against humanity, defend the rights, protect Palestinians, regardless of time. In a press release marking the 35th anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacre, Ereqat said that the mentality of forced uprooting, ethnic cleansing and systematic killing by the Israeli occupation is continuing and the ugly massacre is a reminder to the world today, of the lack of accountability and justice and of being a stigma in the era of human rights principles and international law, as prosecuting culprits responsible for them, has not taking place. "Therefore, this massacre and other daily crimes of Israel against our people are an incentive for the international community to shoulder its political and legal responsibilities in bringing Israel, the occupying Power, to international accountability, lifting its immunity and ending its occupation and fully recognizing the State of Palestine on the 1967 borders, with Al-Quds as its capital, working hard to ban settlement products and boycotting companies that benefit from the existence of occupation, colonization and apartheid in Palestine, he concluded. -- SPA 20:23 LOCAL TIME 17:23 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w488755
