Indonesia calls violations in Gaza and the West Bank a test of the UN's principles

The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Indonesia said alleged ‘‘clear violation[s] of international law in Gaza and the West Bank’’ test the multilateral system and the conscience of member states. He framed Palestine as a defining issue for whether international law and the UN Charter can be upheld consistently.

Reiterating Indonesia's historical stance against colonialism, the minister said Indonesia will "continue to stand with the Palestinian people until their right to self‑determination is fulfilled and until an independent and sovereign state of Palestine is realized based on the two‑state solution in accordance with international law and internationally agreed parameters."
