unparalleled sacrifice has become a testament to the enduring spirit of resistance against oppression and source of inspiration for muslims worldwide. in the words of the english novelist charles dickens, if hussain had fought to quench his worldly desires, then i do not understand why his sister, wife, and children accompanied him. it stands to reason therefore that he sacrificed purely for islam. centuries have passed, yet imam hussain's name continues to resonate with shia, non-shia muslims, even those beyond the confines the islamic faith. his marterdom has ignited numerous uprisings against unjust rulers throughout the islamic world with the...

struggles against oppression. hujjatul islam dr. sayad jalal rajar who teaches both at university and seminary, has more to say about imam hussein's uprising rests on three pillars: the first pillar involves intellect, making a rational decision to resist oppression and challenge the pressure from the wealthy, powerful and armed. the second pillar is bravery displayed in the deserts of karbala, a true epic tale of having the courage to confront overwhelming power without fear. the third pillar is love and compassion associated with the story of karbala. in our religious literature, there is a well-known saying very in the hearts of the believerss a love for imam hussain that will endure forever. this saying has stood the test of time even after more than 13 centuries, people still commemorate the

of standing up for justice even in the face of overwhelming adversity. in ashhura of 680 ad. imam hussein and his 72 companions were slain by order of yazid, the despotic umah ruler of the time as they refused to swear allegiance to him, whom they considered corrupt to the bones. the family of imam hussain was taken captive and brought a tour around kufa and damascus. hujjatul islam dr. mehdi muim, a religion expert who also teaches at the university of judicial sciences and administrative services, put the story of.

financial corruption, the officials were misappropriating public funds for personal gain. this resulted in a widening wealth gap in society. the affluent were becoming wealthier while the underprivileged were becoming poorer with each passing day. in reference to the second point highlighted in a letter addressed to imam hussain, the residence of kufa lamented that the ruling regime at the time lacked the support of the people. the governing system. was in place without obtaining their consent. in essence, the rights of the people had been violated in both financial and political aspects. commemoration of ashura has been a key element in shaping the identity of shia muslims, emphasizing principles of sacrifice, resistance, and standing up against oppression. dr. muntazar qaim said, although

there were many reasons for imam hussain to rise against yazid, there was one special issue that had made so determined to do so. yazid's way of ruling was problematic in various aspects: firstly, it lacked legitimacy. imam hussain was the rightful ruler of the muslim community, yazid. therefore yazid was considered userper. however, when imam hussain chose to oppose yazid, he did not site the illegitimacy of yazid's rule as his reason for. uprising, similarly, he didn't cite yazid's corruption and immoral conduct as a driving force behind his move, what truly motivated imam hussain to confront yazid was the absence of social justice in society, his action aimed to champion the rights of the people. to commemorate ashura is to honor the courage confront evil in all its manifestations any

cost. as the renowned scottish historian and essayist tom. as carly ably observed, the best lesson which we get from the tragedy of karbala is that hussein and his companions, rigid believers in god. they illustrated that the new miracle superiority does not count when it comes to the truth and the falsehood. the victory of hussein, despite his minority, marvels me. meanwhile, the annual commemoration of imam hussain's murderdom in carbala, iraq holds great significance for millions of muslims worldwide. despite the swelter. temperatures, many iranian devotees, along with others from the rest of the world, have been converging upon the sacred side of the imam hussain's burial place, which is reveared as one of the most hollow destinations over in our life to... the un security council, well the chair of uh today's uh meeting is russia and the foreign minister lavar speaking. the independent international commission of inquary

violations of international humanitarian law, approximately half of gaza's population consists of palestinians under the age of 18. this means that they were born and raised under total blockade, and in addition to the current escalation of violence, they have lived through other israeli. military operations such as the submarines and autumn cloud 2006, hot winter and cast lead of 2008 and 2009, the pillar of defense of 2012, operation strong clift of 2014 and guardian the walls of 2021, today lies in ruins, housing, schools, hospitals have been almost completely destroyed and key civilian infrastructure has been rendered inoperable, infectious. these epidemics, whitespread hunger and genuine humanitarian catastrophe have unfolded in the gaza strip, safe and sustainable access to all those affected in a

need is simply not existent as fighting continues. the number of casualties among un and ngo humanitarian personnel is nearing 300 people already, and this is the greatest one-time loss of life for the un and modern history. many humanitarian workers were killed along with their families. we express our condolences to the relative, loved ones and colleagues of the deceased. on may 7th, an operation was launched clear rafat, which is the last remaining refuge for one and a half million palestinians who have fled here from all over gaza. the rafat crossing was shut down, the strip has once again become, and i quote, the only conflict in the world in which people are not even allowed to flee, and of course that was said by our secret. back in 2009 when he was the un high commissioner for refugees. nothing has

changed since then. the situation has only deteriorated further. the burder crossings on the israeli side are functioning intermittently and with severe restrictions. far less cargo is being allowed through than was the case even before the current confrontation when needs are far lower. the situation is also become a die in the west bank and east jerusalem. where israeli military raids and settler aggression continue unaabated with casualties on both sides. contrary to the demands of un security council resolution 2334, israel is not only not decreasing, but is in fact accelerating the construction of illegal selments. in addition to the expropriation of land, the demolition of palestinian homes, it is retrospectively legalizing settlement outposts, the construction of which has been... recognized as illegal, even under israeli law. such unilateral actions to create irreversible facts on the ground,

which is something that was addressed by mr. ratre, our grave violations of israel's obligations as the occupying power. these obligations, i note this stem from the geneva conventions adopted 75 years ago. "an irony of history, they were largely adopted to protect jews from the inhuman treatment and suffering inflicted upon them during world war ii and to prevent any future persecution on the basis of nationality in the future. the current unprecedented explosion of violence in the middle east is largely a consequence of failed us policy in the region. it is a consequence of the very diplomacy, the effectiveness of which us representatives have been telling us about from 10 months now as they demand that we draw down our efforts in the council to give way to their individual efforts, which was said by my colleague anthony blinken, they

use their veto power time after time to block calls for immediate, permanent and comprehensive ceasefire. when resolution 27/28, with its provision a sessation of hostilities for ramadan was adopted, the us immediately declared it non-binding. in return, we received the infamous biden plan, which the u.s. intended to approve even before receiving a response from israel, when everyone knew the response would be negative one, because israel was not interested in any plan with a hint of peace, which something that we were able to see one again once again today, and i would like to ask the us representative in this regard, in listening to the statement made by the representant of israel, did you not get the impression that you were perhaps in the... wrong room and you were not in the right discussion, not in the discussion that was announced, i hope you understand what i'm referring to, that is why

we... abstained from voting on resolution 27/35 knowing that it had already and tasly been rejected by israel. by providing diplomatic cover for israel's actions and supplying arms and ammunitions. washington, it is clear to everyone became a direct accompance in the conflict just as it has done with the situation in ukraine. if the us were to end it support, the bloodchead would stop, but the us is either unwilling or unable to do so. what matters to them, it seems not saving human life. but various maneuvers that would help to score more points during the election campaign, i would like to once again outline the key principles of russia's approach. we condemn the terrorist attack of october 7th, which, however, cannot be used as a justification for israel's current actions and to undermine the very idea of the establishment of palestinian states. we advocate a permanent and comprehensive fire which will make it possible to release the 120 israel. and

nearly 9,500 arbitrarily arrested palestinians have been arrested since october 7th. we call for safe and sufficient humanitarian access to all victims in those needs. we reaffirm the key mandate of unrise unique body for providing assistance to palestinians in the occupied territories and in neighboring arab countries. we insist on immediatation of un settlement activity addressing. these urgent issues would create the conditions for a return to peace negotiations a universally recognized international legal basis in the interest of establishing an independent sovereign palestinian base state coexisting in peace and security with israel, only then will the historical injustice done to the palestinian people and their fundamental right to self-determination be redressed.
