US veto on UN Resolution violates humanitarian principles, values, say Malaysian NGOs

KUALA LUMPUR: The United States use of its veto power to reject the United Nations Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire between the Zionist regime of Israel and Palestine on Dec 9 is seen as a flagrant violation of all humanitarian principles and values.

The Coalition of Malaysian NGOs, in a statement on Monday (Dec 11), said the US should be held responsible for the bloodshed of Palestinian children, women and elderly people in the besieged Gaza Strip.
