The entire population of Rwanda wishes to express its great appre…

The President
The Assembly will now consider Parts I and II of the report (A/48/715 and Add.1) of the Second Committee on agenda item 12, which concerns the report of the Economic and Social Council.
Mr. Blaney
This year has seen historic positive change in the search for peace in the Middle East. The United States firmly believes that the positive changes should find expression in United Nations resolutions. In this regard we had hoped that the draft resolution on economic and social repercussions of Israeli settlements would be deferred.
We believe that the appropriate forum for addressing the issue …

Mr. Portcarero
I am speaking on behalf of the European Union.
The European Union did not object to the consensus adoption of draft decision V. However, we would like to make it clear that nothing in this decision can infringe upon the contents or structure of the revised agenda of the Second Committee adopted by the Assembly within the framework of the restructuring and revitalization of the economic and socia…
Mr. Blaney
With reference to draft resolution II, "Assistance to the Palestinian people", contained in document A/48/715, I would like to make the following comments.
If the process of peace in the Middle East is to succeed, a necessary ingredient will be the economic development and reconstruction of the West Bank and Gaza. The United States is firmly committed to this goal, as we demonstrated at the Conf…
Mr. Eliashiv
We have made a genuine effort to reach a consensus on draft resolution II, contained in document A/48/715, which addresses such an important issue as assistance to the Palestinian people. We believe that economic and social progress can be advanced only through cooperation, not confrontation.
However, Israel’s participation in the consensus on this resolution should not be construed as implying …
