Israel-Hamas war a "reminder" for Singapore it has national interests at stake: Vivian Balakrishnan

Singapore Foreign Affairs Minister Vivian Balakrishnan in parliament on Monday (Nov 6) laid out the principles underpinning the Singapore government's position on the Israel-Hamas war. One principle is that all states have the legitimate and inherent right to defend themselves, as enshrined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter. "This is a very important principle for Singapore, and have no doubt - if Singapore is ever attacked, we would certainly assert and exercise the right of self-defence," he said. Dr Balakrishnan added that all countries must ensure that if military action is taken in exercising this right of self-defence, they abide by principles of "necessity and proportionality". Any alleged violations of international humanitarian law in the Israel-Hamas war should be investigated in accordance with international law, he said. https://cna.asia/47hqKSE Subscribe to our channel here: https://cna.asia/youtubesub Subscribe to our news service for must-read stories: Telegram - https://cna.asia/telegram WhatsApp - https://cna.asia/whatsapp Follow us: CNA: https://cna.asia CNA Lifestyle: http://www.cnalifestyle.com Facebook:   / channelnewsasia   Instagram:   / channelnewsasia   Twitter:   / channelnewsasia   TikTok:   / channelnewsasia
