Of all the regions in the world, the Middle East suffered most from the lack of those characteristics, due to the ongoing Israeli occupation of Palestinian and Arab territories. Saudi Arabia hoped that the recent efforts to revive the peace process would lead to the implementation of the Arab peace initiative &#8211; proposed by Saudi Arabia &#8211; and the reactivation of the Road Map peace plan. He noted that Iraq still required international cooperation and support to establish security, achieve stability and consolidate its sovereignty and territorial integrity.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:left;\">\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;\"><span style=\"color:#000000;font-size:9pt;font-family:Courier New, serif, monospace;\">&#8230;<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS ENDS SECOND DAY OF HIGH-LEVEL SEGMENT Hears from Dignitaries from Brazil, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Latvia, South Africa, Croatia, Italy and Burkina Faso The Commission on Human Rights concluded the second day of its high-level segment this afternoon after hearing from dignitaries from Brazil, Nepal, Saudi Arabia, Sweden, Latvia, South Africa, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/document\/auto-insert-213777\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"country":[1098],"document-category":[1329],"document-source":[1733],"committee-meeting":[],"document-subject":[1749,1797,1917],"entity":[1985,1729],"document-language":[6542],"class_list":["post-213777","document","type-document","status-publish","hentry","country-saudi-arabia","document-category-press-release","document-source-commission-on-human-rights","document-subject-palestine-question","document-subject-peace-process","document-subject-situation-in-the-opt-including-jerusalem","entity-state","entity-united-nations-system","document-language-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/213777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/document"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/213777\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=213777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=213777"},{"taxonomy":"document-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-category?post=213777"},{"taxonomy":"document-source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-source?post=213777"},{"taxonomy":"committee-meeting","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/committee-meeting?post=213777"},{"taxonomy":"document-subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-subject?post=213777"},{"taxonomy":"entity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/entity?post=213777"},{"taxonomy":"document-language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-language?post=213777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
