Speeches following this vote (18)
The President
Since there are no other delegations wishing to comment on the report as such, may I take it that subsequent statements will be limited to explanations of vote?
The President
The positions of delegations with respect to the recommendation contained in the report of the Special Political Committee to the General Assembly [A/34/691] are reflected in the relevant summary records of that Committee. 7
" ... when the same draft resolution isconsidered in a Main Committee and in the plenary Assembly, a delegation should, as far as possible, explain its vote only once, that …
Mr. Schmid
At yesterday's meeting of the Special Political Committee the delegation of the United Arab Emirates introduced a draft resolution which certainly merited our urgent attention and thorough study. The rules of procedure, however, provide in a very wise manner that delegations ought to be given the necessary time to exanine a new proposal and to seek instructions. As the draft resolution was put to…
Mr. Thunborg
This statement is made on behalf of the five Nordic countries, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway ant! Sweden.
134. Our delegations share the concern and anxiety expressed in the draft resolution in paragraph 7 of document A/34/691 and will vote in favour of it. We wish, however, to put on record that we understand the "occupied Palestinian territory" mentioned in the draft resolution to be the t…
Mrs. WARZAZI
At yesterday's meeting of the Special Political Committee, we drew attention, just before the vote, to the translation of operative paragraph 1 of draft resolution A/34/691. I note that today the amendment has not yet been made in the French text. Obviously, the original text is in English and we can only base ourselves on that English text for the true interpretation; but since we are working on…
The President
The necessary change will be made in the French text. We shall now take a decision on the draft resolution recommended by the Special Political Committee in paragraph 7 of its report [A/34/691], entitled "Situation in the occupied territories". A recorded vote has been requested.
The President
I shall now call on those representatives wishing to explain their vote after the vote.
Mr. Nuseibeh
The decision of the Israeli occupation authorities has given rise to urgent and emergency consideration, first in the Special Political Committee and then in this Assembly, because it tears apart the very fabric and foundation of international law upon which the United Nations is founded, and because the Organization's continued meaningful existence is contingent upon the preservation of internat…
The President
No, you may not have one minute to conclude, but you may conclude in one sentence. It has to be one sentence only.
The President
You have to conclude in one sentence.
ISS. Mr. NUSEIBEH (Jordan): My Government regards explusion as an inseparable part of the over-all Israeli plan to devour the whole of the Palestinian homeland, a plan which they are pursuing incessantly and through which so far they have absorbed almost one third of the occupied lands.
The President
I must express my appreciation to the representative of Jordan for concluding in one sentence, however long.
Mr. Kodjovi
The position of Togo on the question of the Middle East is well known, especially as regards the rights of the Palestinian people and the prejudicial activities of Israel in the Arab territories that have been occupied by force.
158. The peace that we call for can only come about if each party works for it sincerely and resolut.ely.
159. In voting in favour of the draft resolution in document A…
Mr. Abdel Rahman
I would not be speaking at this late hour, were it not for the bombardment by the representative of Israel of the delegations at this plenary Assembly with his distortions. I shall also have a word for the representative of the United States.
162. ':'he history of terrorism in the Middle East is very well known. Those who introduced terrorism into the Middle East and into Palestine were the Zion…
Mr. Blum
I should just like to refresh the memory of the Jordanian representative and remind him that Mr. Bassam Shaka'a was detained by the Jordanian authorities in 1958. He escaped from prison and fled to Syria and was then sentenced to four years' imprisonment in absentia. He was granted a pardon in the general amnesty in Jordan in 1965. I thought that the representative of Jordan would be interested i…
Mr. Nuseibeh
I do not believe that it would be fair to this Assembly for me to reply to the representative of Israel's irrelevancies and diversionary tactics.
168. Whether Mr. Shaka'a was detained or not and for whatever reason, let the representative of Israel remember that at that time both the East Bank and the West Bank shared sovereignty inequality and that it was not a situation where a foreign occupie…
