UN urges all parties to protect civilian infrastructure and comply with international law
The United Nations renewed its call for all parties to the Middle East conflict to comply with international humanitarian law, emphasising that civilian infrastructure must not be targeted. UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said Secretary-General António Guterres reminds all actors that energy facilities and other civilian infrastructure must be protected, and that even if specific infrastructure could be considered a military objective, international humanitarian law prohibits attacks if they result in excessive incidental civilian harm.
In a separate development, the UN announced it is continuing discussions on forming a new task force to ensure the safe passage of humanitarian shipments, including fertilisers and other essential materials, through the Strait of Hormuz.
The UN also announced that Jean Arnault, the Personal Envoy of the Secretary-General for the Middle East Conflict, will travel to the region, with further details on his itinerary expected in the coming days.
