Distressed by what it sees as Israel’s flouting of orders, the fifteen-member Caribbean Community (CARICOM) yesterday called on the United Nations to use its powers and hold an emergency meeting in order to imposes measures to ensure Jerusalem’s immediate compliance.
Efforts for an immediate ceasefire have thrice been thwarted at the UN Security Council by vetoes from the United States.
“CARICOM also deplores the fact that Israel has flouted the resolutions of both the UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council calling for a ceasefire, as well as the provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice,” Chairman of CARICOM and President of Guyana Irfaan Ali read from a CARICOM statement, at a press conference following the end of the 46th meeting of Heads which began on Sunday in Georgetown.
