Egypt urges resolving current crises to avoid losing confidence in UN

CAIRO – 19 May 2018: Egypt’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Mohamed Idris underscored the importance of swiftly resolving the current crises, topped by the Palestinian cause, in order to avoid further losing the international community’s confidence in the United Nations.

The diplomat’s remarks were made during an open debate on “upholding international law within the context of international peace and security,” which was chaired by Poland’s President Andrzej Duda and attended by a group of foreign ministers.

After the bitter experience of the World War II, the world has known that there are several principles, purposes and law rules that are needed to preserve international peace and security, achieve development as well as to maintain human rights in accordance with the United Nations convention, he said.

Meanwhile, Idris called on the United Nations to shoulder its responsibilities and to develop and reform its performance in order to be able to persist in playing its role.
