  1. “We in the Sudan hail the heroic role of the South West Africa People's Organization [SWAPO] and its capable handling of the arduous negotiations despite the maneuvers employed by South Africa in that process. We also commend the role of the front¬line African States and the wisdom, co-operation and flexibility they exhibited in the course of those negotiations. Moreover, we appreciate the role played by the Western contact group in the initial efforts, which helped make possible the adoption of resolu¬tion 435 (1978). However, now more than ever before, we urge the contact group, to do its utmost to exert the necessary influence on South Africa so that it will meet its commitment as stipulated in the plan within the framework of a declared timetable, before we lose this valuable opportunity, which may be the last.”

  2. “It is our conviction that, no matter how long it takes, that goal will be achieved through the ongoing heroic struggle of the national resistance movement in South Africa. 62. One cannot venture to address the problems in southern Africa without addressing the question of Namibia, which the international community had expected would take its rightful place in this body. It is time for the international community to put an end to the delay in the settlement of the Namibian issue. It is our understanding that the latest round of negotiations has achieved some positive results, which we hope will lead to the adoption of accelerated measures in implementing the peaceful plan for the independence of Namibia in accordance with Security Council resolution 435 (1978). 63.”

  3. “We also hope that efforts to arrive at a just and peaceful solution to the questions of Korea and Cyprus will meet with success and bring peace, stability, development and national unity, which are the aspirations of the peoples of those countries. 61. The Sudan is following with great concern and attention the developments of the political situation in South Africa. In this regard, it is about time for the racist clique in Pretoria to learn that neither peripheral nor cosmetic changes can remedy that abhorrent situation. What is needed is radical and far-reaching change that will abolish the apartheid system and establish a just and democratic society, where the majority enjoy their freedom as well as their inalien¬able sovereign rights.”

  4. “The Sudan firmly believes in the principles of respect for the sovereignty and independence of all countries and peoples, the illegality of intervention in all its forms in internal affairs, the inadmissibility of the use or threat of use of force in international relations and the necessity of halting all forms of aggression and pressure—covert or overt—that threaten the sovereignty and political independence of other countries. 59. That is why we view with anxiety the presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan and Kampuchea. We reiterate our call for the withdrawal of all foreign troops so that the peoples of those two countries can exercise their inalienable right to decide on the politi¬cal, social and economic systems they deem fit for their countries, without foreign intervention or domi¬nation. 60.”

  5. “The Sudan is following with increasing concern the Iran-Iraqi war, which has been going on for more than two years now despite all efforts to stop it. From this rostrum, we commend the Iraqi initiatives and efforts, made within and outside the United Nations, to stop the suffering of the peoples of those two Moslem countries. We call on Iran to respond positively to those efforts so that Moslem resources and wealth can be utilized for the good of the Moslem nation. 58.”

  6. “This is reflected in President Reagan's initiative and his expressed desire for a peaceful settlement that will end the tragic suffering in the Middle East. 55. We welcome all the efforts now being exerted to ensure a just settlement of the Middle East prob¬lem and hope that those efforts and endeavors will not be nullified by the intransigence of the Israeli Government. 56. In surveying the present international situation, we clearly note the gap between the prevailing situa¬tion in international relations and that situation which the peoples of the world aspire to in regard to the realization of international peace and security. The problems we are facing are becoming more complicated and hotbeds of tension and conflict throughout the world continue to pose serious threats to international peace and security. 57.”

  7. “This will not be achieved without ensuring Israeli compliance with the resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly calling for the total and unconditional withdrawal of Israel from all Arab territories occupied since 1967, including Arab Jerusalem, and for the realization of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. 54. At the Fez Conference the Arabs were unani¬mous concerning peace based on justice, and con¬firmed their genuine desire for it. In our view, the Fez decision has created, for the first time in the history of this issue, a favorable climate for all parties con¬cerned to bring about a just settlement of the conflict in the Middle East, especially bearing in mind the new, positive development in the American attitude.”

  8. “That peace will not be achieved unless the Palestinians, represented by the PLO, their sole legitimate representative, participate in negotiating that peace. 53. It is now abundantly clear to the Assembly, which represents the conscience of the international community, that a just and lasting peace in the Middle East cannot be achieved without a just and lasting solution to the Palestinian question, which remains the core of the Middle East conflict. This solution must guarantee the achievement of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination, sovereignty and independence and to the establishment of their independent State on their land.”

  9. “To whom are the security guarantees more vital: to Israel, that spreads its troops and modem war machine all over the region; or to Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the other Arab coun¬tries and the homeless Palestinian people, victims of daily Israeli aggression? 52. We have opted and we shall continue to opt for peace, peace that is based on justice and not peace imposed by guns. The Twelfth Arab Summit Confer¬ence at Fez clearly reflected this strong commitment to just and lasting peace in the Middle East, peace that will guarantee the security of all States in the region and the achievement of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to self-determination and to the establishment of their State on their land.”

  10. “Is it, in the final analysis, the security that was the pretext for exterminating thousands of unarmed Palestinians, women, old peo¬ple and children, because more than 30 years of homelessness and oppression had not silenced their demands for the fulfilment of their legitimate rights? 51. What security and secure boundaries does Israel want? Is it the kind of security that does not recognize the right of others to security or the kind where bound¬aries are continuously shifting and expanding? Is it not painfully puzzling that some of us still argue that peace in the Middle East will not obtain unless Israel's security is guaranteed?”

  11. “Is it the security that was the pretext for occupying and then annexing the Syrian Golan Heights, the strategic heights that overlook Damascus? Is it the security that was the pretext for the perpetual occupation of the West Bank and for the planting of fortified settlements and armed settlers in the midst of hundreds of thou¬sands of unarmed Palestinian villagers? Is it the secu¬rity that was the pretext for storming through southern Lebanon, destroying its towns and villages, besieging Beirut and interring in Lebanon's internal affairs after violating its sovereignty and destroying its national unity?”

  12. “50. Israel is committing all these atrocities under the pretext of defending its security. What kind of security is Israel referring to? Is it the indefinable security that was the pretext for bombing the Iraqi nuclear research centre, hundreds of miles away and across the territory of two sovereign countries at a time when the Israeli nuclear reactor in Daymona operates outside the obligations contained in the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and outside the monitoring and safe¬guards of IAEA? Is it the security that was the pretext for annexing Arab Jerusalem and declaring it the eternal capital of Israel over the objection of the world and against the resolutions of the General Assembly and of the Security Council?”

  13. “The records attests to this assertion: first, the Israeli invasion of Lebanon was mounted under extremely dubious pretexts at a time when the PLO was fully respecting the 1981 cease-fire agreement; secondly, the invasion and the genocide that followed took place at a time when the Security Council was constantly meeting, adopting resolution after resolu¬tion to no avail; thirdly, the invasion and its gruesome aftermath took place while the whole world, through the mass media, was watching the carnage; fourthly, Israel persisted in its barbaric activities in Lebanon despite the advice, the warning, the opposition and the denunciation of the whole international community, including Israel's allies; fifthly, Israel not only defied the resolutions of the General Assembly and of the Security Council, but went further, defying and brushing aside the authority of the Security Council represented by the United Nations peace-keeping forces in southern Lebanon: sixthly, the Beirut mas¬sacre was a further manifestation not only of Israel's defiance of the United Nations but also of its defiance of the whole international community and of its Mends when it blatantly violated the Beirut agreement, under which the Palestinian fighters left Beirut, leaving thousands of Palestinian civilians under the sole protection of the guarantees contained in that agreement.”

  14. “Session after session, the overwhelming majority of the members of the international community represented in the Assembly have warned about and called attention to the aggres¬sive nature of Israel, its expansionist policies and its sinister design to exterminate the Palestinian people. Its latest act of aggression against Lebanon and the Palestinians is but additional proof of those sinister designs. 49.”

  15. “The report is of special importance, in our view, for two reasons: first, for its candour and courage in identifying the weakness in the Organi¬zation and of its authority, and secondly, for its timeliness, as it was released at a time when the authority and prestige of the Organization were waning and when the Security Council, the principal organ entrusted with the maintenance of peace and security, was almost paralysed. 48. We say this with specific reference to the failure of the Security Council to deter Israel and to put an end to its aggressive actions, the latest of which was the invasion and occupation of Lebanon and of its capital, Beirut and the genocide carried out against Palestinians and Lebanese in southern Lebanon and west Beirut which culminated in the massacres at the Shatila and Sabra refugee camps.”

  16. “Sir, I should like at the outset to extend to you, on behalf of the delegation of the Democratic Republic of the Sudan, sincere congratulations upon your election as President of this session of the General Assembly. We are confident that your experience and wisdom will enable you to lead our deliberations successfully. 46. We should also like to take this opportunity to express to your predecessor, Mr. Kittani, our deep appreciation of his indefatigable efforts for the success - of the thirty-sixth session, and to wish him all the best in his future endeavors. 47. Since this is the first regular session of the General Assembly since the election of the new Secre¬tary-General, Mr. Javier Perez de Cuellar, I should like to congratulate him first on his election, and secondly on his excellent report on the work of the Organization.”
