Recalling the outcome of the meeting of the Council at the level of permanent representatives that took place on 7 September 2020,

Decides

1. To emphasize that cooperative relations between the Arab States and the Islamic Republic of Iran must be based on the principles of good-neighbourly relations and refraining from the use or threat of force; to denounce Iranian interference in the internal affairs of Arab States, as that is a violation of the norms of international law and the principles of good-neighbourly relations and State sovereignty; and to call on the Islamic Republic of Iran to refrain from taking provocative actions that undermine confidence-building and threaten security and stability in the region; 

2. To condemn strongly the continued deployment of drones and firing of Iranian- made ballistic missiles by Iranian-affiliated Houthi terrorist militias from Yemeni territory towards Saudi Arabia; to consider that action to be a blatant act of aggression against Saudi Arabia and a threat to Arab national security; to reaffirm the legitimate right of Saudi Arabia to defend its territory pursuant to Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations; and to support any measures that Saudi Arabia decides to take, within the framework of international law, in response to Iranian violations; 

 3. To condemn in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities on 14 September 2019, in which Iranian-made weapons were deployed against the Buqayq and Khurays oilfields; to welcome the report issued by the United Nations on 30 June 2020, in which it is emphasized that the Iranian regime bears responsibility for such acts of sabotage; to express its full support for Saudi Arabia and for all measures that it may take to secure its territory and confront attacks on its oil installations, as such attacks pose a threat to Arab national security; and to condemn the sabotage of commercial ships in the territorial waters of the United Arab Emirates and the Gulf of Oman; to emphasize the need for a strong and determined stand against any Iranian attempts to threaten the energy security, freedom and safety of offshore facilities in the Arabian Gulf and other maritime corridors, which pose a clear and serious threat to security and peace in the region and the world, and jeopardize the stability of the global economy;

Identical Letters Dated 4 March 2021 From The Permanent Representative Of The Syrian Arab Republic To The United Nations Addressed To The Secretary-General And The President Of The Security Council≪

Reference: S/2021/223 "Syria categorically rejects the attempts by the United States to justify its act of aggression on the basis of a unilateral and selective interpretation of Article 51, one that distorts the meaning and expands the scope of that Article. Syria would like to point out that Article 51 was drafted with deliberate care and includes restrictions that must be respected, in order to ensure that its provisions are not manipulated, misconstrued or interpreted in an overly broad manner and exploited to carry out acts of aggression under the pretext of self-defence, as that would spread chaos and ignite wars around the world. Syria would also like to point that the relevant general principle and foundation of international law is found in Article 2, paragraph 4, of the Charter, which provides that “[a]ll Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any State”.
