Press Room

 

Brunei Darussalam is deeply concerned over the recent escalation of violence that has resulted in the loss of innocent lives, suffering and destruction of properties. We urge all parties to immediately cease all forms of violence and exercise utmost restraint.

We further call upon all parties to abide by their obligations in accordance with international law, including the United Nations Charter, particularly in protecting the security and safety of all civilians. 

The escalation of conflict and violence in Palestine demands urgent action to create an environment conducive for peace talks without delay. To this end, we reaffirm our support towards international efforts aimed at achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting peace in the Middle East on the basis of international law and the relevant UN resolutions.

The plight of the Palestinians remains at the core of the conflict in the Middle East. For decades, Palestinians have been denied their inalienable rights to self-determination, peace and freedom, as a result of prolonged occupation, forced displacement and the continuing expansion of illegal settlements. 

Brunei Darussalam reiterates its solidarity with the Palestinian people and the creation of an independent State of Palestine, based on pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
