A/44/PV.73 General Assembly

The Assembly will now take a decision on the three draft resolutions before it. Should the General Assembly adopt draft tesol\ition A/44/L.47, it would, inter al~, reaffirm its eaU for cOlWening the International Peace Conference en the Middle East, under the auspices of the United Nations, and endorse the call for the setting up of a preparatory committee, within the framework of the Security Council, with the participation of the permanent me1ibers of the Council, to take the necessary action to comene the conference. The Secretary-General has reported to the General Ass8l'1lbly, in document A/44/131, in the context of its resolution 43/l~6, which also called fot' the convening of the International Pe5ce Conference on tho Middle Bast. This report noted a continuing lack of ooaniaity in this regard. As indicated in the report, the Secretary-General will spare no effort in carryin9 out tbe responsibilities entrusted to him ~ the General Assembly and the security Council .. Asre<}ards the settinCJ up of a preparatory co_ittee~ section 2A of the proposed programme budget for the blennium 1990 to 1991 includes provision for servicinCj the Security Council and its subsidiary organs. Consequently, should agree....t be reached Q'l the establil!b.ent of a preparatory cOillUlittee for the Conference~ no prograMe-buc1get: lrapltcations are anticipated.

'* * SubSeQuently the delegation of Liberia advised the Secretariat that it had intended to vote in favour. explain their votes after the voting. May I remind representatives that in accordance with General Assenbly resolution 34/401 explanations of vote are limited to 10 minutes and should be nade by delegations from their seats. Mr. MENDEZ (Philippines). The Philippines is of the view that draft resolutions, especially on an important and complex Question such as the Arab-Israeli conflict, should be presented in a balanced w~y. Moreover, we believe it is essential that the sovereign right of every State to conduct its own international affairs in conformi ty with the United Nations Charter be upheld. For that reason my delega tion was constrained to abstain in the vote en draft resolution A/44/L.48. Our reservations on the formulation of operative paragraph 10 of dra ft resolu tion A/ 44/~ 0&7 led IS to take the sane pod tion wh 11e voting in favour of the resolution as a whole. The PhUippines remains firmly committed to peaceful efforts aimed at aChieving a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement of the conflict in the Middle East, the core of which is the Question of Palestine, based on Security Council resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973) and on the exercise by the Palestinian people of its inalienable rights, including the right to self-determination and the right to independen~statehood. Mr~ MONTA80 (Mexico) (interpretation 'from Spanish), The delegation of Mexico voted in favour of draft resolutions A/44/L.47, A/44/L. 48 and A/44/L.49. We are convinced that they contain posi tive elements for the achievement of a diplomatic solution to the conflict in the Middle East. The Cbvernment of Mexico is concerned that at a tine when progress is being made towards a solu tien to most of the conflicts which have threatened internationlll peace and security in the recent past, in the Middle East all peace initiatives continue to meetwi~.fot obstacles. The time has come for all the parties to the conflict, in particular those directly involved, to show pC'li tical resolve and a genuine desire for peace so as to ~each a just, stable and lasting solution to the conflict. Any diplomatic solution inevitably entails compromise and flexibility. We believe that in the Middle East so far there has not been a concurrence of constructive positions demonstrated by the interested parties. For that reason we insist that the process should begin towards the convening of an international peace conference under the supervision of the United Nations, with the participation of all the parties involved and the five permanent menDers of the Security Council. Fult'thermore, we continue to support the efforts of the Organization to find a solutim to the conflict in the Middle EastJ hence our support for the general framework: for solving the conflict as set forth in the resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council. the sovereignty, integrity and political independence of all the States in the region and their right to live in peace within secure and recognized bounda~ies. We also reaffir:l the right of all States of the re<jion to sclfoodetermination wi thout interference from outsid!, and we cootinue to support the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people. My delegation abstained in the separate vote on operative paragraph 10 of draft resolutim A/44/L. 41, since we believe that the views it contains are beyond the competence of the General Asselibly. We aloo reiterate our serious reservations with regard to operative para9rap~. 6 of the sa~ drQft resolution since the partial a~reements attained so far, while being far from a definitive solution to the Middle East problem, constitute vel}' important steps to that end. Finally, my delega tion would also ha..,e abst&lned, had there been a sep&rate vote, on operative paragraphs 12,13 and 14 of draft resolution A/44/L.48, "M.CIl deal with measures whiCh fall within the purview of the Securi~ Council. Mr. -PEJIC (Yugoslavia)&- In accordance with its principled p08itien, Yugoalavia again this year voted in favour of draft resolution A/44/L. 48 on the GolM, presen ted mder the agenda item "The situa tiCln in th~ Middle Eut·. In till. context, we fully eupport the main thruat of that resolution, which is a just reauest by Syria for the immediate terminaticn of the Israeli occupatioo of the Syrian Golan, as well as all other Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967. However, we have DClie seriouB reservations with regard to operative paragraPhs 13 and 14 of that resolution. We consider that the recolllllendations ccnt.slned in these par&gr&pMl do not take in to cOt\sideration sone reali t1es of the present time and the need to find l!l political solution to the Middle East c1'1si8 through dialogue and negotiations. Thus we hope that the sponsors of that ~esOlution will in the future make an effort to make it acceptable to a greater number of Member States and enable them to join in support of that resolution. Mr~ IDSSBINI (Islamic Republic of Iran), Although my delegation voted in favour of the draft resolutions contained in oocuments A/44/L. 47, A/44/L. 48 and A/44/L.49, I should like to put on record my delegation's reservation with regard to all terms or references in the above-mentioned resolu Hons that might imply any recognition of the Zionist regime. It is our firm conviction that the Zionist forces of occupation mt1'3t uncondi tionally withdraw from all Pales tin ian territories, including those occupied prior to 1967. Mr. 'ACET (Turkey), My delegation voted in favour of all the dran ~esOlutions under the item -The situation in the Middle East", in line with Turkey's firm podtion on the problem. We abstained on opera tive paragraph 10 of draft resolution A/44/L. 47 because of the inappropriate language used against certain Member States. My delega tion would not have suppor tx.>d opera tive paragraphs 8, 12, 13 and 14 of draft resolution A/44/L.48 had they been voted on Mparately. We believe that those paragraphs do not contribute to the advancement of the peace process. Hr .. WlR'lER (Argentina) (interpretation from Spanish), My country views with great concern the fact that despi te the strengthening of a posi tive cli1l8te of International detente and a broadening of the search for peaceful solutions to dispUtes, dialogue is not yet a reality in the Middle East region. Argentina considers that more than ever before the parties and the international conmunity as a whole must make every effort to resolve and eliminate all possible hotbeds of conflict. In that context, we voted in favour of draft resolutions A/44/L.47 and A/44/L.49, since in general they contain principles which have been supported by the Republic of Argentina. Wi th regard to draft ,'esolution A/44/L.48, my delegation once again abstained this year, since that draft contains in operative paragraphs 2, 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 ideas which are incompatible with governing principles of Argentina's foreign policy wi th regard to the Arab-Israeli conflict. For those same reasons ray delegation abstained on operative paragraph 10 of draft resolution A/44fL. 47. My delegation once again wishes to affirm most emphatically that the Government of Argentina does not recognize Israel's illegal occupation of the Syrian Arab Golan, which is in direct violation, among other things, of resolution 497 (1981) of the Security COtllcil. For this reason, my delegation believes that the imposition of laws, jurisdiction and administration by Israel, the occupying Power, on those territories is null and void and lacks validity. Iestly, my delegation wishes to reiterate Argentina's full support for the restitution of the Syrian Arab GolM to the Syrian Arab Republic, so that that country may exercise full sovereignty over all of its territory. Mr. BLANC (France) (interpretation from French), I have the honour to speak on behalf of the twelve memer States of the ll1ropean Community. Our views on the principles which must be applied to resolve the conflicts in the Middle Fast have been expressed in detail in the statement we made in the general debate on 28 November. We maintain serious reservations about the first two resolutions submitted to the Assembly at this i tame We are concerned by their lack of balance md by the fact that they do not reflec\: the fmdamental principles which we consider to be essential for the settlement of the Ieraeli-Arab conflict. Further, we cannot accept criticism. of a permanent member of the Security CotncU for having exercised its rights in conformity with the Charter. However, we are happy to have voted in favour of the third resolution an this item and we wish in this connectiQ\ to reeta te the importance we attach to resolution 478 (1980) of the Security COuncil. Mt. 'VILIAGl1\N'DE'L1DN (Guatemala) UnterpretatiQ\ from Spanish), The delegation of G.tatemala voted in favour of the draft resolutions under ccnsideraticn by the Assembly, although they cQ\tain cQ\cepts with which we do not fully agree, because we understand that they reflect criteria and principles which have been identified as fundamental to achieving a just and lastin9 peace in the Middle Fast. Concerning draft resolu tion A/44/t.. 48, h~' ..ere been separate votes on operative paragraphs 12, 13 and 14 my delegation would not have voted in favour of them because of elements in them that are not within the General Assembly's competence. ~. 'PRmD~CllJSS (Austria) I During the dabate on this item Austria had an opportll\ifey to explain its posi tion on the situa tion in the Middle East. Our 'POsition ia well known and has been consistent over the years. We share the basic concern expressed in the resolutions that have just been adopted, and agree with many, but not all, of their elements. In particular, my delegation cannot support those elements that would not only aggravate the existing situation but also impede the search for peace. Austria does not believe that measures aimed at breaking relations with Israel, and thus leadirw';l to that country's isolation, would bring us ¥ly closer to a solution. of the Middle Fast problem. Such attempts do not take account of the need of all parties to seek negotiated solutions - the very candl Hen for finding peace in that troubled region. We cannot support any formulation that could be interpr~ted as impinging on the principle of the universality of membership of the united Nations - a principle that Austria has consistently Upheld. Therefore Austria, whUe supporting draft resolution A/44/L., 49.1 felt cOlllpelled to absbJin in the vot•• Ol\ draft resolutions A/44/L. 47 and A/44/L.48. Mt.; 'ZBPm (Greece), Greece voted in favour of draft resolutions A/44/L. 47 and A/44/L.48 and, thereby, reaffirmed its consistent and firm position cm the unaceeptability of the cc.ntinued occupation of Palestinim territories. including Jerusalem and the other Arab territories, that have been occupied since 1967. Our PCli!Ji tion with regard to every terri tory re_inlng undet foreign Military occupation 18 total and unequivocal. (Hr ... Villagran .De .teon; . Q1atemala) My com-try has stressed that peace in the Middle East cannot be based on revenge or hatred and that all peoples in the area have a right to share the gift of peace. The position of Greece on the question of the Middle Fast in all its aspects is tlrell kno'll to the members of the Assembly. Our aff1r""th~e votes on draft resolutions A/44/L.41, A/44/L.48 and A/44/L.49 are consistent with that position. However, we have reservations in respect of certain paragraphs of draft resolutions A/44/L.47 and A/44/L.48. Had those paragraphs been voted on separately Greece would have abstained in the vote on oper12 tive paragraph 12 of dra ft resolu tion A/44/t.41 and in the votes on operative peraCJraphs 8, 13(c) and l3(d) of draft resolution A/U/L. 48, and it would have voted against op~rative paragraph 14 of draftresclution A/44/L.48. The Greek delegation wishes to make it: clear that, although it voted in favour of the draft resolutions as a tthole, it dissociates itself ftom these paragraphs" Mr.' DHD (Cameroon) a Traditionally we have shared the strong feel ing that the Palestinian people should be able to exercise self-determination. we shall continue to support the quest for those fundamenbl rights so long denied to the Palestinian people. We voted in favour of these resolutions because we support their eentral thelM - the search for settlement of dispu tes, and the Quest for an opportll'llty for the Palestinian people to exercise their legitimate rights. However, a number of provisions tend to introduce elements that provoke lI'ldesirable discord and eonfrontation. One of these is paragraph 13(d) of draft resolution A/44/L.48, which calls on all Sb!.tes to sever diplo. tic, trade and c ul tural r e1& tions wi th Israel. We eould not seriously expect 11 vote in the United Nations to subscribe fully to such a position while Israel and others concerned are participating in this forum. (fit!'.. Zepos, Greece) We have refused to be debauched by si.de tauea. We IftUBt not be taluift .. having given up our reservation regarding those side 1ssues and rhetoric.

We si.ncerely hope t .....at, vith the easing of tensions MtweeR the .4101' lnfluenUal Powers of the a.qe, some sa Uefactory solu tian to the altu tlan in the Middle Fast will be found. CL\meroon continues to have strong faith In the capacity of history, and of this generatim to use the thited Nations Q\arter for the aChievement of lasting peace and development. fit£'. MUNTASSEa (Libyan Arab Jamahiriya) (interpretation frOll Arabich .., delegation voted in favc.'Ut of all the draft resolutions subll1tted under ag_eta item 37. llovever, my delegation would like to stres8 ita reservation in 1'••prtet of every paragraph that makes a dil:eet or indirect reference to recognl tiCft of the Zionist entity. I hOpe that this vill be reflected accurately in the recorda of the Assembly.
