Volker Türk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, urged all countries to practice restraint to avoid “a wider conflict in the Middle East with potentially devastating consequences for civilians”.
In a statement on Wednesday, Türk said, "I implore all States, including Members of the Security Council, to act resolutely to prevent a wider conflict in the Middle East with potentially devastating consequences for civilians. It is vital that they use their voices and influence to bring the warring parties to the negotiating table to end this."
“We appeal to reason. Peace must prevail,” he said in conclusion.
