Ban Ki-moon on the role of the UN in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

[ssba]

“Decades of political manoeuverings have created a disproportionate volume of resolutions, reports and conferences criticising Israel. In many cases, rather than helping the Palestinian cause, this reality has hampered the ability of the UN to fulfil its role effectively….we must not give up on the right of Palestine to exist, just as we must protect the right of Israel to exist in peace and security with its neighbours.”

(Outgoing UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon addressing the UN Security Council on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, 16/12/2016)
