It requires greater and stronger assistance and cooperation to overcome its immense challenges and socioeconomic disparities, which hinder the stability, development, and progress of its people. Just a little generosity is needed to replace a great deal of selfishness.
We must remain true to both the spirit and the letter of the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action, as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Objectivity, non-selectivity, respectful dialogue, and constructive cooperation —free from interference— must be our guiding principles in the treatment to all human rights.

We condemn Israel's resumption of attacks against the Palestinian population in Gaza in flagrant violation of the ceasefire.
We demand the immediate restoration of the ceasefire. We stress the urgency of allowing immediate and unrestricted humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
