PNN – In an interview with Reuters, the head of the Human Rights Watch said that the countries that export weapons to the Zionist regime, despite the widespread violation of international laws, encourage other militant countries.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, Tirana Hassan said that countries such as America, Germany and England can influence Israel’s actions by ending the sale of weapons to Tel Aviv.
Hassan said that when countries that violate human rights are not punished for their actions, they become bold and continue their actions.
He said that governments that export weapons to these countries undermine their credibility as defenders of international law and human rights, as well as the credibility of the international system.
Hassan said: (Sending weapons by human rights claimants to the Zionist regime) has the message that these laws are applied to us and our allies in a different way from others, and this (duplicity) has very serious consequences.

According to this human rights official, when the Western countries wanted to answer about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, countries like Russia and China took advantage of this contradiction.
Hassan said: They are very quick to point out the double standards of the West and try to use it to weaken the international system.
In response to a question about the possible effects of Donald Trump’s election to the American presidency, he said that there was “little certainty” of his adherence to international laws during the first term of his presidency.
He added: In some election comments, we have seen threats of mass deportation of millions of people, and this is a very worrying message.
Yesterday, the United Nations condemned the crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and acknowledged that nearly 70% of the martyrs of the criminal attacks of the Zionist regime are Palestinian women and children.
The United Nations Human Rights Office announced that it has now been able to examine the statistics of 8,119 people out of more than 34,500 people who were martyred in the first six months of the Gaza war, of which nearly 70% were children and women.
Volker Turk, the UN human rights official, said in a statement: Our monitoring shows that this unprecedented level of killing and wounding civilians was a direct result of Israel’s non-compliance with the basic principles of international law.
According to the United Nations Human Rights Office, 80% of all those killed in Gaza were killed by Israeli airstrikes on residential buildings, and nearly 90% were killed in incidents involving five or more people. This is while Israel claims that the (military) operation in Gaza has only targeted the military.
