The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia emphasized the importance of a statement of the Higher Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Bialy, on the current situation in the occupied Palestinian territories, notably the situation of Palestinian refugees in Israel's prisons as well as Israel's continuance of exercising settlement-oriented on Palestinian occupied territories, Saudi Ambassador to the European United Nations Headquarters and its UN Representative in Geneva Dr. Abdulwahab Attar said. Attar was addressing the 31st session of UN Human Rights Council, expressing the Kingdom's appreciation of the Human Rights Commissioner for monitoring Israeli violations on continuing bases. However, the Kingdom still anticipates that flagrant transgression inflicted on the people in the Palestinian and Arab occupied territories, should be paid more attention by all world bodies concerned with human rights. International community should surmount its differences in regard of the Syrian crisis and should, instead, act to stop grave violations inflicted on the Syrian people, he added. The Kingdom shares also, with the Higher Commissioner concern on the flagrant violations that took place against Rohingya Muslims of Arakan Region, Myanmar, which victimized hundreds of deaths and thousands of displaced, he concluded.
