Greetings from the Islamic Republic of Iran!
Fellow delegates of the Security Council,
Our nation is eager to achieve in this upcoming meeting a solution to a wrong that has persisted for nearly one year. Israel's rampant violation of international law in the Gaza strip massacre it perpetrated in December 2008 to January 2009 has gone unaddressed for too long and, according to the principles of its Charter, one of the UN's many responsibilities is to maintain international peace and security through proper upholding of international law.
Israel's utter disregard for these laws has extended beyond even this situation, as nearly one month after the end of this incursion Israel violated Sudan's borders and bombed a convoy under the pretext of a preemptive attack on weapons shipments; they were civilians, 100 of them died.
Furthermore, Israel has consistently refused to comply with or even acknowledge the recommendations of the international community regarding an internal investigation of the war crimes its military force has committed, thus showing its disregard for the maintenance of peace and security.
All that prevents us from bringing those responsible to justice is a resolution by the Security Council that will refer this matter to the International Criminal Court, thus giving them jurisdiction over the situation.
I believe you may find the following report an interesting read: Goldstone Report
We must deliver the justice of man, as the justice of Allah is his own to unleash.
