London, May 28, IRNA – Iran's Ambassador and Permanent Representative at the UN Office in Geneva Esmail Baqaei Hamaneh said that the supporters of the Zionist regime should be held accountable for having sabotaged implementation of justice.

When talking about occupied Palestine, one should have in mind that Palestine has been shrinking in the past few decades and Palestinians have been under the longest and the most ruthless systematic violation of human rights and international laws by an apartheid regime, said Baqaei Hamaneh in special session of the Human Rights Council on violation of human rights  in the occupied Palestine.

He added that as long as the occupation of Palestine, war crimes, and crimes against humanity go on amidst the silence and compromise of others and immunity of the criminals, violence will not come to an end.

Call for justice and accountability for crimes against the Palestinians should become an immediate demand of the international community, he said, urging that those who justify the Zionists crime as self-defense should also be held accountable for encouraging the criminals.

In the Israeli attacks on Gaza and Palestinians since May 10, 230 Palestinians, including 65 children, 39 women, and 17 senior citizens have been martyred.
