Maldives Welcomes UN Push for ICJ Ruling on Humanitarian Access in Palestine
The Maldives welcomed the United Nations General Assembly's adoption of a resolution requesting an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on Israel's obligations concerning humanitarian access in Palestine. The resolution, spearheaded by Norway, was adopted on Thursday with 137 votes in favour, with the Maldives as a co-sponsor.
