Fu Cong, China's permanent representative to the United Nations, urged Israel on Wednesday to stop any military actions in Gaza, lift the blockade and restrictions on humanitarian access to it, and cooperate fully with the UN and other humanitarian agencies. The authority of international law seems to exist in name only for certain states, and the bottom line of international humanitarian law has been repeatedly shattered, Fu stressed. He added that implementing international humanitarian law is a non-negotiable obligation and cannot be used as a bargaining chip.
