KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has called on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to provide a clear and authoritative statement on Israel's obligations as an occupying power and United Nations (UN) member state in relation to the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).
Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said, who is Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform), said during public hearings at the ICJ in The Hague on Monday (April 28), Malaysia appeared before the Court – not merely as a UN member – but "as a voice echoing the pain of a people whose rights, homes and future are being dismantled before the eyes of the world."
