Summary
The Security Council resolution adopted at the 9479th meeting on 15 November 2023, centred on children in Gaza, which demands compliance with international law notably on protection of civilians, especially children, calls for urgent and extended humanitarian pauses and corridors throughout the Gaza Strip for a sufficient number of days, and calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages held by Hamas and other groups, especially children (Resolution 2712 (2023) on Gaza (15 November 2023), PDF p.1-2).
Details
- The resolution calls for pauses and corridors, not a ceasefire, and requests the Secretary-General to report orally and identify options to monitor implementation as a matter of prime concern (PDF p.2). No vote count is given in the file.
- Resolution 2720 (2023) demands its implementation in full in its paragraph 14, and resolution 2728 (2024) cites it for the demand to lift all barriers to assistance at scale (Resolution 2720 (2023) on Gaza (22 December 2023), PDF p.4; Resolution 2728 (2024) on Gaza (25 March 2024), PDF p.1).
