Arab Parliament Condemns US Bill

Cairo, 13 Dzulhijjah 1437/15 September 2016 (MINA) – Chairman of the Arab Parliament Ahmad Bin Al-Jarwan on Wednesday condemned the US Congress adoption of a bill known as the legislation for “justice against sponsors of terrorism,” SPA reported.

This bill contradicts the principle of States’ sovereignty, as stipulated by international laws and the UN Charter.

It is a dangerous precedent at the level of principles and bases of States’ relations, for States cannot meddle in other States’ domestic affairs, he added.

He warned that such a law would foment tensions among States and undermine the global war against terrorism.
