At the 19th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in the Ugandan capital of Kampala, President Yoweri Museveni formally assumed the chairmanship of the five-day NAM summit and the leadership of the forum, which includes 120 countries that are not part of a major power bloc, for the next three years.
The
19th summit of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) concluded Saturday night with the issuance of the Kampala Declaration and a resounding call for an end to "Israeli military aggression" and the facilitation of humanitarian aid to the blockaded Gaza Strip.
The Kampala Declaration, a comprehensive 47-article statement, "strongly condemns the illegal Israeli military aggression on the Gaza Strip, the indiscriminate attacks against Palestinian civilians, civilian objects, the forced displacement of the Palestinian population and further calls for an immediate and durable humanitarian ceasefire."
Additionally, the summit underlined the need for substantial and expeditious progress towards an end to the Israeli occupation, encapsulated by the attainment of independence and sovereignty for the State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The statement also reiterated its unwavering support for the admission of the State of Palestine as a full member of the United Nations, affirming its rightful place in the international community.
In a firm tone, the Kampala Declaration castigated all attempts by Israel, the occupying power, to modify the legal, physical, and demographic status of the occupied Syrian Golan. It reiterated the need for Israel to adhere to pertinent UN Security Council Resolutions and to withdraw completely from the Syrian Golan to the borders as they existed on June 4, 1967.
Furthermore, the NAM declaration condemned
historical injustices against Africa and called for increased representation of the continent in a reformed UN Security Council.
The declaration also "condemned the historical injustice against Africa and expressed support for increased representation for Africa in the reformed Security Council, thereby supporting the African Common Position as reflected in the Ezulwini Consensus [an agreement on incresing African representation in the UNSC] and the Sirte Declaration [containing the basic AU principles]."
The summit also reaffirmed its commitment to uphold and promote the principles enshrined in the UN Charter and international law, particularly emphasizing the principles of
sovereign equality, territorial integrity, non-interference, and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
