India has abstained from voting on United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) decision on the “protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations” on Gaza disaster. The decision was adopted on the UN General Assembly.
The decision additionally known as for unhindered humanitarian entry in the Gaza strip.
The 193 members of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), which met in a resumed tenth Emergency Special Session, voted on the draft decision submitted by Jordan and co-sponsored by greater than 40 nations together with Bangladesh, Maldives, Pakistan, Russia and South Africa.
The decision titled “Protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations” was overwhelmingly adopted with 120 nations voting in its favour, 14 towards it and 45 abstaining.
Besides India, nations that abstained included Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, Ukraine and the UK.
The UN Security Council has to take the General Assembly decision in order to maximise the political strain on Israel to cease this war and to avoid wasting Palestinian civilians. We are grateful to an awesome majority of European nations who both voted in favour of the decision or abstained from voting,” says Riyad Mansour, Palestinian Ambassador to the UN, after the UN General Assembly permitted a decision calling for a ‘humanitarian truce’ in Gaza.
