 I'm delivering this joint pledge on behalf of a number of countries. We're asked to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which aims to increase knowledge on the universality and indivisibility of human rights, especially among young people, inspire people to create a movement of shared humanity, while empowering them to fight for their rights. Whereas this regards and contempt for lives and human rights have resulted in barbaric acts of injustice, oppression, and other indignities that rightly outrage the conscience of peace-loving nations. Whereas it is essential if peoples are not to be compelled to have recourse as a last resort to resistance against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law, and accountability for gross violations of these rights as outlined in international law and international humanitarian law must be ensured. Whereas member states have pledged themselves to achieve in cooperation with the United Nations the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms. Whereas the development of friendly relations among nations based on respect for the fundamental rights to life and the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples is among the purpose and principles of the United Nations as defined in the Charter, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as enshrined in the international covenants on civil and political rights, and the international covenants on economic, social, and cultural rights, and relevant United Nations resolutions. Whereas the recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inlinable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice, and peace in the world. Whereas the right to self-determination is a sacred right enshrined in international law as the responsibility of all states. Whereas the right of peoples and nations to life and to self-determination is a prerequisite to the full enjoyment of all fundamental human rights. We, the undersigned nations and organizations, first we affirm that the right to life is an inalienable and inherent right, the enjoyment of which is a necessary condition of the enjoyment of all other human rights. Second, we affirm our unwavering commitment to the Palestinian people's inalienable right to life and right to self-determination. Third, resolve to actively recognize and promote the realization of the right to life and the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people. Fourth, commit to take all measures to ensure the realization of these rights and conformity of our obligation under international law.
