Malaysia will spare no diplomatic effort in working with its partners to prevent the further massacre of civilians in Gaza and there should be no doubt about the country’s commitment, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said. - BERNAMA

Speaking at the 14th Asean Law Association (ALA) General Assembly 2023 here today, Anwar said Malaysia believes in upholding international law and that security and prosperity are predicated on the primacy of the rules that govern the interactions between states.

"It has everything to do with the law because that is what we all ought to be standing for at this moment of grave danger and that should be especially so for those countries of the world that are always quick to claim that they support a rules-based international order.

"But it also has nothing to do with the law because these very same countries are quick to suspend such talk when it comes to Israel, its brutal occupation of the Palestinians and its flagrant disregard for the rules-based international order,” he said.

Present were the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Law and Institutional Reform) Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said and Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat. - BERNAMA
