Palestine's UN ambassador holds back tears during appeal to world court

At the international court of justice hearing on Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories, Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian ambassador to the UN, held back tears as he appealed to the judges to uphold international law in the Palestinian territories and help secure a two-state solution 'in which the two-states live side by side in peace and security'.

Mansour told the hearing: 'The Palestinian people only demand respect for their rights, they ask for nothing more and they cannot accept nothing less.' Israel disputes that the territories are formally occupied.
