Motion (Private Members' Motion): Illegal US and Israeli Attacks on Iran

That this Assembly stands firmly behind international law and condemns the illegal US and Israeli attacks on Iran as a violation of the United Nations Charter and international law; further condemns the human rights violations, lack of democracy and breaches of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Iran; regrets that many civilians have and will die as a result of these reckless attacks; is deeply concerned that Irish and British citizens living, working and on holiday in the region have been put in danger; recognises the huge economic damage that will be felt in the Middle East and the economic shock that will also be felt across the globe; further recognises the direct impact of fuel and energy price rises here, which will impact workers and families already struggling with the cost of living; calls for an immediate end to the conflict; and further calls for the recommencement of urgent negotiations towards a peaceful diplomatic resolution, in line with international law and which respects the right of the people of Iran to self-determination.

The motion has not been assessed yet.
