Phiri made the statement shortly after a two-day conference wrapped up on Wednesday in Bogotá, the capital of Colombia.
The summit brought together representatives from nearly 24 nations. Among the attendees were Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Malaysia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Oman, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and South Africa.
These countries collectively endorsed a package of six strategies designed to “restrain Israel’s assault on the Occupied Palestinian Territories.”

“International law is only as good as the states who are able to implement it,” he asserted, highlighting that failure to act on decisions from the International Court of Justice (ICJ) or the United Nations could erode faith in the world’s legal order.
