Justice Asserted

Pakistan’s recent stand at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is a bold declaration of our nation’s firm call for jus­tice in the face of Israel’s relentless violations of interna­tional law in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Caretaker Minister for Law and Justice Ahmed Irfan Aslam did not mince words when he confronted the ICJ, making it crystal clear that allowing Israel to benefit from its unlawful actions would be a travesty of justice. Minister Aslam’s unequivocal condemnation of Israel’s systematic dis­crimination and illegal settlements is morally imperative. De­spite Israel’s attempts to brush aside the ICJ’s proceedings, Pak­istan remains resolute in its pursuit of justice, refusing to bow down to political pressure or expedience. As the international community grapples with finding a resolution to the Israeli-Pal­estinian conflict, Minister Aslam’s stance makes it clear that jus­tice must prevail, and that no nation is above the law.
