OIC condemns opening of a Papua New Guinean embassy in occupied Jerusalem

The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) strongly condemned Papua New Guinea's decision to open an embassy in the occupied


 city of Jerusalem, stressing that this step was illegal and constituted a violation of the international law and relevant UN resolutions,


 especially Security Council Resolution No. 478 (1980), which called on states that have established diplomatic missions in Jerusalem


to withdraw them. 


The OIC stressed in a statement that this decision contributed to the consolidation of the system of illegal colonial occupation and


 constituted a violation of the rights of the Palestinian people. It also called, at the same time, on Papua New Guinea to retract its illegal


 decision and engage in supporting the efforts of the international community aimed at achieving a just and comprehensive peace,


 based on international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
