Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said Monday Israel's decision to cooperate with the United Nations (UN) in an investigation into the May 31 attack showed that every country was accountable to international law, Anadolu Agency reported.
In an exclusive interview with the AA, Minister Davutoglu said that the UN Secretary General has taken a crucial step on behalf of the UN, an entity that represents international conscience.
The UN panel of inquiry will affirm the supremacy of international law. Any UN member's acts were accountable to international law, Davutoglu said.
We are sure that the UN panel of inquiry will be objective, work fast and make a comprehensive study. We have full confidence in the UN Secretary General, Davutoglu said.
Minister Davutoglu said that the panel would start working on August 10 and submit its first progress report on September 15.
We hope that all works in the UN would contribute to efforts for peace in the region, Davutoglu also said.
