POSITON PAPER
Committee: UNHRC
Topic: Ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza
Country: Ecuador
Ecuador has historically taken a strong stance in favour of human rights and international
law. In terms of the Gaza conflict, Ecuador has expressed concerns over the humanitarian
situation and the loss of civilian lives. The country tends to advocate for peaceful
negotiations and diplomacy in resolving conflicts, emphasizing the need for the protection
of civilians and adherence to international humanitarian law. Ecuador has also aligned with
broader Latin American positions, calling for an end to violence and support for a two-state
solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has reached alarming levels, with thousands of civilians
killed, critical infrastructure destroyed, and medical resources overwhelmed. As a nation
committed to human rights and the protection of international law, Ecuador has voiced
deep concern over the ongoing violence and the disproportionate impact on innocent
Palestinian civilians. Ecuador has consistently called for an immediate ceasefire and for the
international community to take urgent action to provide humanitarian assistance. The
blockade of Gaza and the denial of access to essential resources, including food, water, and
medicine, have exacerbated the suffering of those caught in the conflict. Ecuador's
commitment to peace and diplomacy calls for a resolution that prioritizes the safety, dignity,
and rights of all individuals affected by the crisis.
Ecuador urges the international community, including the United Nations and regional
organizations, to act decisively in ending the violence and addressing the root causes of the
conflict. As a member of various multilateral forums, Ecuador emphasizes the importance of
upholding international humanitarian law, ensuring the protection of civilians, and
promoting peaceful dialogue between all parties. Furthermore, Ecuador advocates for a
renewed commitment to a two-state solution, recognizing the legitimate aspirations of both
Palestinians and Israelis for peace and security. Ecuador remains committed to supporting
efforts aimed at providing immediate relief to the people of Gaza, while also advocating for
long-term solutions that promote stability, justice, and lasting peace in the region.
