Cairo, March 25 (QNA) - The Arab Parliament welcomed the United Nations Human Rights Council's (HRC) resolution condemning Iranian attacks on Arab states, considering it an important step that reflects growing international awareness of the severity of these blatant aggressive practices, which violate the sovereignty of Arab countries and threaten regional and international security and stability.

In a statement on Wednesday, the Arab Parliament noted that this resolution comes as a continuation of the recent United Nations Security Council decision, which also condemned these aggressions, reflecting a new and clear international consensus rejecting Iran's blatant attacks on Arab states, including threats to international navigation through threats to close the vital Strait of Hormuz.

The Parliament described the HRC resolution on these attacks as a firm message to the international community on the need to adopt a unified stance against such aggressions, in light of the resolution's call for Iran to immediately cease all unjustified attacks, hold itself legally accountable including providing compensation, and affirming and supporting the right of Arab states to defend themselves in accordance with the United Nations Charter.

It also called on the international community to build on this global consensus to stop these aggressive practices and ensure respect for international law and principles of constructive dialogue, reiterating the Arab Parliament's full support for Arab states in all measures they take to protect their sovereignty and security, stressing that the security of Arab countries is indivisible, and that any threat to one Arab state constitutes a threat to the collective Arab national security.
