We are the guardi­ans of the UN resolu­tions and intern­ationa­l law in relati­on to Palest­inian, says Guterr­esUNITED NATIONS, UNITED STATES: Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday emphasised the UN’s role as the guardian of international law in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, days before US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law is to present a new Mideast plan to the Security Council. We are the guardians of the UN resolutions and international law in relation to the Palestinian question,” Guterres told a wide-ranging news conference at the United Nations headquarters. The US plan makes numerous concessions to Israel, proposing the establishment of a Palestinian capital in Abu Dis, a suburb of Jerusalem. The Palestinians, who have strongly criticised Trump’s plan, on Tuesday submitted a draft resolution through Tunisia and Indonesia, two non-permanent members of the Security Council. The draft “strongly regrets” that the Trump plan “breaches international law” and UN resolutions.
