“In a rules-based international order, States have the right of self-defence. But self-defence must take proportionality into account, in line with global legal, diplomatic—and moral frameworks.”
Today, in Riyadh, I addressed fellow world leaders on issues surrounding the prolonged Israel-Palestine conflict. I reiterated Nigeria’s historical support for a two-state solution, which is a vision grounded in the principles of equality and mutual recognition. I also called upon world leaders to work towards exploring new paths to peace and bringing an immediate end to this conflict.
As representatives of nations that value justice, dignity, and the sanctity of human life, we have a moral obligation to collectively bring about an immediate end to this conflict, which has persisted for far too long and inflicted immeasurable suffering on countless lives.
Nigeria’s own experiences, domestically and regionally, have taught us that identity politics are no substitute for respecting the nuances of diversity. The international community, therefore, has the opportunity to bring new thinking to bear on this most relentless challenge. We need to find new pathways to peace without delay.
