VOInews, Jakarta: Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi has called on all countries in the world to renew their commitment to the advancement of human rights.

"I emphasize that anyone who is committed to being a human rights defender must not be silent and must not stop to continue fighting for justice and humanity for Palestine," Foreign Minister Retno said while attending the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on Tuesday (12/12/2023) at the UN Human Rights Council Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland.

Retno Marsudi also said that Indonesia was very disappointed with the failure of the UN Security Council to pass a ceasefire resolution in Gaza.

"I also convey that Indonesia deeply regrets the failure of the UN Security Council to pass the humanitarian ceasefire resolution. This reflects the failure of the outdated multilateral system," she said.

She also invited the world to reject the application of double standards in human rights enforcement.

"The application of double standards is the biggest problem in the implementation of human rights," she continued.

Foreign Minister Retno also regretted that those who always voice human rights are the ones who allow Israel to violate human rights. For this reason, she emphasized that various human rights violations must be stopped immediately.

"The parties that often dictate us about human rights are the ones who now allow Israel to violate human rights. I emphasize that various human rights violations must be stopped immediately," Retno said.
