}}}>Begin UAE seeks international pressure New York | WAM | 05/04/2002 The UAE called on the UN Security Council and international major players to press Israel to halt its genocide war against the Palestinian people and withdraw immediately from Palestinian territories. "While renewing its absolute support for the struggle of the Palestinian people and their legitimate leadership in these exceptional circumstances, the UAE demands the Security Council, the U.S. and EU to shoulder their full political, legal and moral responsibilities towards the Palestinian cause and the dangerous escalating developments through condemnation, by all possible terms, of the war crimes and terrorism practiced by Israel against the Palestinian people so as the Israeli government cannot misunderstand the clear international message in the form of Security Council resolution 1402 ordering it to withdraw from Palestinian territories it reoccupied," said the the UAE permanent ambassador to UN in an address on Wednesday night at an emergency session of the council. Abdul Aziz Naser Al Shamsi said the UAE demanded immediate unconditional withdrawal of Israeli troops from these territories, lifting of siege on Palestinian President Yasser Arafat and release of Palestinian detainees. The UAE, he said, called for deploying international observers, human rights activists and relief workers to ensure protection of the Palestinian people, delivery of food and medical aid and to identify Israeli war criminals. "Israel should pay compensations for the grave damage its aggressive practices have inflicted on infrastructure and properties of individuals and firms in the Palestinian territories," the ambassador stressed. He said that efforts and role of the UN, U.S., EU and Russia should be bolstered on the bases of transparency and impartiality in order to help the Palestinian and Israeli sides implement recommendations of the Mitchel report and Tenet plan before resumption of peace negotiations. "The UAE calls for adopting and backing the landmark Arab peace plan, endorsed recently by the Beirut summit, as strategic groundwork for comprehensive settlement to the Palestinian cause and the Arab- Israeli conflict as per Security Council resolutions 181, 242, 338, 1397 and 1402 and the peace for land principle," he said. "Israel's reoccupation of Palestinian towns, destruction of Palestinian National Authority's infrastructure, killing and arresting of Palestinians and surrounding Arafat in his headquarters are grave moral, political and legal violations since the creation of the UN," he said. "The Security Council, which used its previous resolutions to condemn all forms of terrorism and occupation, should now distinguish, without any procrastination, between terrorism, war crimes perpetrated daily by the state of Israel against the Palestinians and the legitimate struggle of the Palestinian people to end the occupation and establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital." © Al Nisr Publishing LLC - Gulf News Online End<{{{ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forwarded as information only; no automatic endorsement + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
