I strongly condemn today¡¯s unauthorized entry into the United Nations Sheikh Jarrah compound held by Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA located in occupied East Jerusalem by Israeli authorities. This compound remains United Nations premises and is inviolable and immune from any other form of interference.
As recently confirmed by the International Court of Justice, any executive, administrative, judicial or legislative action against United Nations property and assets is prohibited under the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations.
I urge Israel to immediately take all necessary steps to restore, preserve and uphold the inviolability of Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA premises and to refrain from taking any further action with regard to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµRWA premises, in line with its obligations under the Charter of the United Nations and its other obligations under international law, including those concerning privileges and immunities of the United Nations.
