Statement of Tunisia at the UNGA72

Gender/Women: And in this context, I would like to emphasize that Tunia made major strides since 2011 towards its transition to democracy and establishing the state’s laws and institutions, one of the most prominent steps was adopting a constitution that dedicates universal values to democracy and human rights principles and women’s rights and the position of the youth.  

Palestine: because the security and stability of the Arab region is essential for the security of the world, we are calling for finding an urgent political resolution to the issues in the region, and on that front is the Palestinian Cause, which needs a comprehensive and just solution, which is fair to the Palestinian people and puts a stop to their suffering and enables them to get back their  historic and legitimate rights, especially establishing a state with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Libya: We are reinstating our occupation with the Libyan issue, I renew Tunisia's commitment to stand by our Libyan brothers to push them to overcome their disagreements and accelerate finding a political and comprehensive resolution to the crisis in their country.

Syria: We also emphasize the importance of reaching a comprehensive and urgent resolution to the situation in Syria by pressing the various stakeholders to prioritize the interests of their country and move towards a decision that all parts agree on, which preserves the unity of Syria and its leadership and its end the tragic human suffering that Syrians are experiencing and limit the dangerous implications of the crisis on the regional and international levels.

Iraqi: As it relates to Iraq, we are applauding their recent achievement with cooperation with the International Coalition Against Daesh in important advancements in the field in their war against terrorism. And we are reiterating Tunisia's full solidarity with Iraq in its fight against this dangerous phenomenon.
