"President Connolly said "we must name them (deliberate assaults) as such, without euphemism and without equivocation", emphasizing the need for direct acknowledgment of violations of international law that has underpinned world peace and security for eighty years."
"The Government failed to explicitly condemn the US and Israel last week for breaching international law, while saying this country upheld that standard and deploring the conduct of regime in Tehran, revealing a selective approach to accountability."
President Catherine Connolly condemned deliberate assaults on international law regarding the Middle East war, emphasizing that international law has underpinned world peace and security for eighty years. She called for naming such violations directly without euphemism or equivocation. The Government responded with a thinly-veiled rebuke to the President. While the Government stated this country upholds international law standards and deplored Tehran's conduct, it notably failed to explicitly condemn the US and Israel for breaching international law, creating a diplomatic tension between the President's direct criticism and the Government's more measured response.
