Loading...
Summary
An unidentified committee speaker called for the end of the occupation, invoked the International Court of Justice and United Nations resolutions, and described a two-state outcome with pre-1967 borders and Jerusalem as capitals.
Speaker 1, an unidentified speaker, told the committee that "the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including the right to self determination, must be realized and respected." The speaker framed the committee's position as a defense of those rights and a call to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The speaker said explicitly that "the occupation must end as affirmed by the International Court of Justice," urged that international law be respected and accountability ensured, and argued that "There is only 1 viable route, the 2 state solutions in line with international law and relevant United Nations resolutions." The speaker described a Palestinian state that would be "fully independent, democratic, contiguous, viable, and sovereign," with Gaza "an integral part," and said the two states should live "side by side in peace and security." The speaker also stated that borders should be based on the pre-1967 lines and that Jerusalem should serve as the capital for both states.
