The manner in which this resolution was just adopted by the General Assembly is yet another illustration of the way in which a mathematical majority of the General Assembly is mobilized in order to violate the Charter of the United Nations. Article 18, paragraph 2, ofthe Charter unequivocally states…
In the course of this session of the General Assembly, in the period of time that has elapsed between the adoption of draft resolution A by the First Committee on 27 November and its submission to the plenary meeting today, certain Arab States have demon- strated their real views about peace in the …
The Iraqi-inspired draft resolu- tion A before us would havethe General Assembly "gravely concerned" over Israel's military build-up. In this, the sponsors of this draft resolution wish the General Assembly to become a party to an outrageous political hoax.
140. Gone are the days when the details o…
I would respectfully ask that the President inquire of the representative of Malta whether this is an explanation of vote or the clarification he has sought to make.
178. I have already said that Jordan is Jordan and belongs to its people. Israel knows that. It is not Pales- tine. Palestine is a co…
Mr. President, I understand that we are at the stage of explanations of vote before the vote. The representative of the Palestinian Arab State of Jordan is engaging in something else. I saw fit to draw your attention to this fact.
The statement we have just heard from the representative of the Sudan was com- pletely out of order, quite irrelevant to the report of the Credentials Committee and nothing more than a ritualistic incantation of well-worn cliches, designed to abuse the time of the General Assembly and the present di…
I hesitated whether to ask for the floor to exercise my right of reply with reference to the statement which we heard before from the representative of Libya. After all, we are dealing with an individual who, in front of the General Assembly, has twice flouted the request of the Presi- dent, who ask…
Ever since the establish- ment of Israel in 1948, my country's foreign policy has been grounded in the conviction that all interna- tional disputes should be settled by peaceful means in conformity with paragraph 3 of Article 2 of the Char- tel'. We regard direct negotiations between the States part…
Mr. President, I would like to request you to instruct the represP.ntative of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya to refer to other represen- tatives by their proper designation and with reference to the State which they represent in the Assembly.
I wish to explain the vote of my delegation on the draft resolution and its annex con- tained in the report of the Third Committee [A/34/ 618]concerning item 73 of the agenda.
11. It is a matter of common knowledge that hostile references to Israel and zionism in previous resolutions on the Impleme…
The item before us is called "The situation in the Middle East". In accordance with prescribed ritual, attempts will be made to turn it into another orchestrated attack on Israel. To a large extent the hollow allegations made against my country in the course of what passed last week for the General …
For years now, reason and per- spective have become precious commodities in the United Nations. Less than a week ago, the General Assembly deliberated-in its usual distorted fashion-the "Ques- tion of Palestine". One would expect that in addressing "The situation in the Middle East", this forum inde…
I assume that the spokesman for the Takritian entity mu.st 'be very delighted that the representative of Iran has come to his support.
179. With regard to the statement that we heard from the spokesman for the Takitrian entity, the real question is not whether Saddam Hussein wishes to be in the com…
The draft resolution does not begin to do justice to the issues involved in the matter before us, for it is merely the squalid out- growth of_deliberations based on an item consciously
~Drmulated in a hostile, one-sided and biased manner.
131. . During the course of the thirty-sixth session of the…
I wish to state that, had a vote been taken on the resolution just adopted by consensus, my delegation would have voted against it. We would have done so mainly because of the provi- sions contained in paragraph 3, which reads: "Com- mends the League of Arab States for its efforts and the co-operati…
As I had occasion to point out in the Assembly on 10 December [99th meeting] in explaining Israel's vote on the other resolutions adopted under this agenda item, the purpose of their sponsors. is to sabotage the 'peaceful solution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Nowhere does this objective emerge more…
I was under the impressiot: that we were at the stage of explanations of vote. The representative of Iraq is apparently making a political statement after the debate has been concluded, and I would appreciate it if you, Mr. President, would kindly remind him of this fact.
Mr. President, I would request that you instruct the representative of Iraq to refer to States Members of the Organization by their official designation.
As we had occasion to reiterate in the course of the debate on the agenda item before us, Israel unequivocally and unreservedly rejects racism and racial discrimination in any form and has made this clear both to the Government of South Africa and to the Assembly. The sponsors of draft resolution A/…
'For the better part of last week, this Assembly was engaged in the first segment of what has become a perennial double-bill debate, entitled "The question of Palestine" and '~The situa- tion in the Middle East". Little, if anything, was said in the first segment to encourage the hope that the cours…
