The Muslim Council of Elders, under the chairmanship of His Eminence Dr. Ahmed Al-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, strongly condemns, in the strongest terms, the acts of vandalism and attacks targeting the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates and the residence of the Head of Mission in the Syrian capital, Damascus. The Council also denounces the unacceptable abuse directed at the national symbols of the United Arab Emirates, describing these actions as a flagrant violation of international norms and conventions.
The Muslim Council of Elders affirms its categorical rejection of all forms of violence and attacks against diplomatic missions and their personnel, stressing that such practices constitute a clear breach of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which guarantees the inviolability of diplomatic premises and mandates their protection.
The Council calls for ensuring full protection for diplomats and diplomatic missions and for holding those responsible for these attacks fully accountable, in a manner that upholds the rule of law and preserves international relations.
