ISESCO urges US Pres. to fulfill pledges to Palestinian people

RABAT, Nov 8 (KUNA) -- Dr Abdulaziz Othman Altwaijri, Director General of the Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) called on U.S. President Barack Obama to fulfill the pledges he made, in his first term, to support the Palestinian people's legitimate aspirations for a fully-sovereign state of their own, as per the relevant international resolutions.
This came in a congratulatory letter sent by ISESCO Director General to Obama on his re-election as President of the United States of America.
"The Muslim world at this juncture is looking forward to you taking concrete action to do justice to the Palestinian people; fulfilling the pledge you made in your speech at Cairo University to support their legitimate aspiration for a fully sovereign State of their own, respectful of the relevant international instruments; as well as fostering dialogue of cultures and alliance of civilizations; promoting peace and coexistence among peoples; and endeavoring for a world where justice, democracy and respect for human rights prevail," Altwaijri wrote.
He added that the world is hoping the USA would pursue a more fair and balanced policy towards Palestinian people rights in the second term of Obama presidency.
"The world is pinning its hope on the U.S.A. to pursue, under you second mandate, a fair and balanced policy, consistent with the letter and spirit of the Constitution of the United States and with the principles enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, and upholding the causes and legitimate rights of the oppressed and deprived people of the world."
