“The Zionist peril, with its racialist nature and expansionist aims, is not confined to the Arab world. It has, rather, become a growing, immediate danger jeopardizing the security and interests of all the peoples of the world. 210. World Zionism is plotting to become, through its control of the region and its natural resources—energy ranking foremost—a force controlling this basic com¬modity and forcing the world to deal with the region through it. This explains the aggressive attitude of world Zionism and its base, Israel, built on a permanent callous contempt of the nations, organizations and international institutions of the world. 211.”

“The tragedy of the Pal¬estinian people and the whole Middle East region dates back to the establishment of Israel on the soil of Palestine. Much suffering and bleeding continue as a result of the plots of world Zionism to establish a racist empire starting in Palestine and extending to other parts of the Arab world, defined by the Zionist doctrine as being from the Nile to the Eu¬phrates—an empire that would dominate the Middle East and control the international situation through such hegemony, because of the strategic and economic importance of the Middle East, which is the meeting point for three continents in the heart of the Arab World, adjacent to the strategic interests of the great Powers, in addition to the known huge energy reserves and revenues of this region. 209.”

“The question of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) awaits discussion during this session of the General Assembly. We call for the resumption of negotiations between the two parties concerned, namely, Argentina and the United Kingdom, under the auspices of the United Nations, in order to find a peaceful settlement based on the relevant United Nations resolutions and the principles of the Charter. The efforts of the Secretary-General in this respect are both necessary and desirable in order to facilitate the realization of the desired peaceful settlement. 208. The dangerous and tragic situation in the Middle East clearly reflects the disruption which the interna¬tional community has undergone as a result of the constant Israeli aggression.”

“The question of Cyprus is at a standstill to this very day despite the number of years that have passed since it first arose. We sincerely hope that negotiations between the two Cypriot communities will resume under the auspices of the Secretary-General, in accordance with United Nations resolutions, on the basis of respect for the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, unity and non-alignment of Cyprus. 206. The problem of the unification of Korea is still unsolved, despite the new initiative and proposals submitted by the Government of the People's Demo¬cratic Republic of Korea. We support the unification of Korea on the just and practical bases suggested by the Pyong Yang Government. 207. A sad and regrettable war took place in the South Atlantic.”

“It is our opinion that the Afghan Government has the right to defend the independence of Afghanistan against all types of outside intervention in its internal affairs. We have close historical and cultural relations with Afghanistan; moreover it is a member of the non-aligned movement, and we are keen that it should always remain so. The Afghan people are fully entitled to choose their own system of government. We therefore attach great importance to the conducting of negotiations between the Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and its neighbors in order to achieve peaceful solutions that would guarantee the security and stability of that region and preserve the unity, independence and non-alignment of Afghanistan. 205.”

“The Organization must take a firm stand in confronting the conspiracies and manipu¬lations of the imperialist forces, in order to save those peoples from their enslavers and oppressors by sup¬porting and backing their national liberation move-ments and by extending to them effective material aid in their struggle for their rights to self-deter-mination, independence and national sovereignty and in order to deter that racist regime from persisting in its acts of aggression against neighbouring coun¬tries, particularly Angola. We appeal to the Security Council to take the measures provided for in the Charter in order to put an end to this regime and to its practices and acts of aggression. 204. The Assembly is still considering an item on the situation in Afghanistan and its consequences for international peace and security.”

“We notice, rather, that problems are increasing and being further complicated and that sources of tension in the world are being dangerously aggravated and becoming a serious threat to international peace and security. 203. The racist regime in Pretoria, like the racist Zionist regime in Palestine, has not only detonated explosive situations of conflict and tension, but its practices have always been an affront to humanity and a blot on its history. The peoples of South Africa and Namibia are still being made to labour under the yoke of injustice and colonialism by the racist minority regime.”

“Fourthly, the specter of the cold war and of international tension must be banished and the mad race in both conventional and nuclear weapons halted, and we must persist in our efforts to ban the produc¬tion, stockpiling and use of nuclear weapons. 201. Fifthly, an economic world order based on the relevant General Assembly resolution must be estab¬lished, in order to bridge the great gap and remove the major discrepancies between the advanced and developing countries and to create a greater balance in relations between the developed countries and third world countries. 202. A review of the current international situation shows very clearly the great distance separating the present status of international affairs from the status we desire and hope for.”

“Secondly, in relations among countries, sover¬eignty and the rule of international law and the prin-ciples of right, justice and equity, including respect for the principle of the peoples' right to self- determination, must be consolidated. This would eliminate hegemony, oppression and aggression and remove the immediate and secondary causes of inter¬national crises and problems. 199. Thirdly, the United Nations must be strength¬ened so as to prevent it from becoming immobilized and so as to affirm the credibility and effectiveness of its resolutions and enhance its capabilities to address and solve various issues, guided by the Charter and the principles for which it was created. 200.”
1982-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 37 (1982)
“Most States Members of the United Nations and the world public have declared that international peace and security cannot be realized and stabilized until the principles of the Charter and international law replace the law of the jungle, and unless injustice, persecution and oppres-sion are eliminated and all forms of racism, including Zionism, are uprooted, unless peoples regain their usurped rights, and unless colonialism, neo¬colonialism, domination, hegemony and the plundering of the peoples' national resources are eradicated root and branch. We thus consider that the interna¬tional community must strive to realize the following objectives if we want to attain a better world, free from the tragedies and woes of war. 197. First, colonialism and neo-colonialism and all forms of racism and racial discrimination must be eliminated. 198.”

“The world has recently witnessed tens of thousands of Palestinian and Lebanese citizens—mostly children, women and elderly people—falling victim to cluster bombs, vacuum bombs and nerve gases made in the United States of America, during the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and its capital, Beirut. 196. Domination, exploitation, the plundering of national resources, persecution, aggression and the protection of the aggressor have become the rules guiding the conduct of imperialist, racist and Zionist threes in international relations.”

“They expressed the desire of the non- nuclear countries—which constitute the great majority of the world community—to protect themselves against the use or threat of use of nuclear weapons. They called for the banning of nuclear tests and for a halt to the manufacture of chemical and biological weapons and the destruction of the present stockpiles. They advocated the establishment of zones of peace, as well as nuclear-free zones in the Middle East, Africa, South-East Asia and other parts of the world. 195. None the less, despite all these sincere and con¬tinuing calls and appeal, we are in fact witnessing the transfer to the aggressor countries of the most sophis¬ticated equipment of aggression. We can see that internationally banned weapons are being used.”

“This is at a time when 600 million human beings on our planet are suffering from malnutrition, when 1.5 billion people are without shelter or are living in tragic circumstances, and when more than one quarter of the world's children are deprived of education and proper nutrition. It would have been far better for those many billions spent on menacing humanity with a horrible world massacre to have been spent on meeting the needs of the poor countries and raising the living standards of their peoples. 194. Most of the statements delivered at the second special session on disarmament last June portrayed a tragic picture of today's world. They urgently and sincerely drew attention to the dangers facing humanity because of the uncontrollable armaments problem. They also pointed to the gloomy fate awaiting all mankind.”

“There is no doubt that the imperialist camp is directly responsible for the intensification of tension and aggression in and against those continents. It wants to use those countries as a testing ground for its lethal arms so that those countries will remain helpless, the victims of ruin and destruction. By the same token, their peoples will remain backward and unable to catch up with the achievements of civ¬ilization. The imperialists wish to keep a vast domain at their disposal for exploitation, both political and economic. Needless to say, neo-colonialism has perfected its methods and techniques in this field. 193. The imperialist camp is spending hundreds of billions of dollars on arsenals of war and destruction.”

“Mr, Kittani conducted the work of the various sessions in an efficient manner that is worthy of our full appreciation and praise. 190. I also laud the Secretary-General, during whose term of office we hope that the Organization will take longer strides towards the attainment of its purposes and objectives. 191. The present session is being held at a time when our international community is facing extremely dif¬ficult circumstances. Danger is threatening around every comer. Hotbeds of tension and acts of violence and aggression are intensifying and expanding, in the Middle East in particular, but also in Asia, Africa and Latin America. All these situations pose a major threat to international peace and security. 192.”

“It gives me pleasure to con¬gratulate Mr. Hollai on his unanimous election as President of the thirty-seventh session of the General Assembly and to wish him success in his noble mis¬sion. I am confident that his ability, experience and wisdom will lead to the desired success of our work at this session. My country's delegation will do its utmost to co-operate with him towards that end, especially since the development of cordial relations between our two countries will render our co-operation closer and more comprehensive. 189. I wish to laud the achievements of the out¬going President, Mr. Ismat Kittam, during whose tenure the General Assembly held several special and emergency special sessions, in addition to the regular thirty-sixth session.”

“From this rostrum we also appeal to all Governments of the world to apply the maximum sanctions and measures against Israel because of its continued aggression, its refusal to recognize the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian Arab people and its refusal to withdraw from all the occupied Arab territories. 143. I can assure the Assembly that our people in Syria and the Arab nation will continue their struggle, irrespective of the sacrifices, for the recovery of their national and historical rights in Palestine and for the liberation of the occupied Arab territories.”

“Furthermore, in reaction to this American involvement aimed at harming the Arab countries, the Arab world will be compelled to adopt measures and stands, the responsibility and repercussions of which on the regional and international situation will lie squarely on the United States itself. 141. There still exists for the United States the possibility to reconsider its policy and depart from this dangerous path which is harmful both to the Arabs and to the interests of the American people. 142. Having discussed the general situation in the region and its grave dangers, we call upon all peace, justice and freedom-loving nations to stand against the new alliance between the United States and Israel. At the same time the United Nations, by virtue of its responsibilities, is called upon to take measures against the Israeli aggressor.”

“138. These agreements were concluded with the aim of "realizing strategic unanimity in the region against the Soviet Union and its supporters". What does all this mean? 139. In the first place, these agreements have irrevocably frustrated the possibilities of peace in the region and the possibility of stability, security and tranquility throughout the whole Middle East. The United States is obliged to confront the Arabs because it agreed to link its strategic interests with those of Israel, completely disregarding the basic vital interests of the Arab people. In this policy, the United States administration has utilized its power in Israel's favor and placed itself in a position of enmity and hostility towards the Arabs. 140.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“This move is the strategic alliance between the United States of America the superPower and the Israeli State. 137. A series of dangerous agreements has emerged from this alliance, namely: first, the establishment of military bases in Palestine; secondly, the storing of weapons, which naturally means stockpiling neutron weapons, after European Governments opposed this American decision; thirdly, setting up military industries in Israel; fourthly, achieving cooperation between the United States and Israeli security bodies, which means that all data collected by United States bodies and services, including those collected through satellites, will be placed at the disposal of the Israeli Government; fifthly, extending huge American military aid to Israel; and finally, linking United States strategic interests with the strategic interests of an aggressor State in the region.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“Fourthly, Israel persists in its policy of annexing the Arab territories, establishing settlements, evicting Arab citizens and altering the features of the occupied Arab territories, thus flouting world public opinion and totally disregarding the dangerous consequences of such a policy for peace and security in the region. 136. While the Arab nations are confronting this situation which threatens their very existence and vital interests and imperils peace and stability in the region, the United States of America despite the considerable military and economic assistance it extends to Israel, and despite the military bases it has implanted in the region has resorted to a new move which represents the climax of danger to the Arabs and their vital interests, as well as to the peace and security of the region.”

“When those forces resorted to the use of air defense weapons against those planes, Israel began issuing ultimatums to Syria to withdraw the air defense weapons from Lebanon. Israel believes it has the right to enjoy full freedom to commit acts of aggression wherever and whenever it so wishes. At the same ^me, Israel believes that we are not entitled to exercise our right of legitimate self-defense. We have naturally rejected this aggressive Israeli logic. Israel must bear the consequences of its aggressions. 134., Thirdly, Israel's threats to the other Arab countries and their economic establishments have been carried out with the bombing of the Iraqi nuclear reactor, 135.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“First, there is the continuous aggression against Lebanon and the bombing and shelling of Lebanese towns and villages and Palestinian camps with a brutality unprecedented in human history. Israel has provided the climax to its brutal acts by bombing the peaceful city of Beirut, killing hundreds of civilians, destroying scores of houses and rendering thousands of citizens homeless. 133. Secondly, the aggressive arrogance of the Israeli Government has even led it as far as to direct continuous threats against Syria, particularly against the Arab deterrent forces in Lebanon, and to fabricate the so-called Syrian missile crisis in Lebanon. Israeli planes have bombarded the positions of the Arab deterrent forces.”

“It has become evident that, the objective is not to realize an Israeli withdrawal from Sinai, but rather to liquidate the cause of the people of Palestine and to form a military alliance in the area built upon the debris of the Palestinian cause and at the expense of the national rights of the Arab nations and of the other occupied Arab territories. 131. The Camp David agreement and the Egyptian Israeli peace treaty have created a state of tension in the region. The magnitude of American military aid to Israel has exacerbated the situation because it has provided Israel with a huge military arsenal, which tempts Israel constantly to embark on new acts of aggression, of which the following are examples. 132.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“There is also a resulting increase in tension between the two superPowers, which is an additional cause of international tension and a clear threat to world peace and security. 129. Fourthly, the discussion by the Egyptian Government, in negotiations related to the rights of the Palestinian Arab people, of so-called Palestinian autonomy completely contravenes all United Nations resolutions, which recognize the Palestinian people's right to self-determination and consider the Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] as the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian Arab people. 130. That action has undoubtedly further complicated the problem.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“In the initial stages of that involvement, the United States played the role of a partner in the negotiations; later) it assumed the role of a partner in the relations between the Egyptian and Israeli Governments, and Anally it took on the role of a military and political partner, through the recent strategic alliance with Israel. 128. There is no doubt that one of the gravest consequences of the Camp David agreement is United States military involvement in the area and the establishment of military bases in a number of countries of the region, as well as the increased presence of naval fleets and the formation of the rapid deployment force. All those actions are being carried out to impose United States hegemony on the region and hence increase the tension between the peoples of the region and the United States Government.”

“Nowadays, there is a heightening of tension between the Arabs and the Israeli aggressors/ as well as the development of a new hotbed of tension between the Egyptian Government and all other Arab Governments, and also a further series of explosions threatening the security and stability of the region. All developments since the Camp David agreement have indicated that unilateral or partial solutions are an additional cause of tension and further complicate the existing problems. 127. Thirdly, there is the problem of American involvement in the region.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“The history of conflicts in the world proves that agreements involving injustice to one of the parties constitute a smoldering cause of the eruption of a new conflict when the conditions are ripe. 125. Secondly, the conflict in the Middle East is of a comprehensive nature, between the Israeli aggressor and the Arabs. An agreement between the Israeli aggressor and one Arab Government does not mean a solution has been reached or the conflict ended. Rather, it means a complication of the situation and an increase of tension, as proved by subsequent developments in the region. 126. Prior to the Camp David agreement, the region was the scene of an ArabIsraeli conflict.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“First, it resulted in a political and military imbalance in the region in Israel's favor as a result of the defection of the Egyptian Government and its abandonment of its national obligations towards the Arab world in general and towards Syria and the Palestinian people in particular. Obviously a peace process undertaken when there is an imbalance of power means full capitulation by one party to the other, because any conflict that arises as a result of the clash' of powers can be resolved only through the restoration of the balance of power or the liquidation of one party by the other. 124. Talk of peace and its possibilities while an imbalance of power exists would mean the imposition of terms of surrender. That is completely unacceptable.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“Nevertheless, all those resolutions and all international efforts to pave the way for peace have collided with the Israeli barrier, because Israel rejects any peace that is not based on Zionist doctrine and that does not recognize as legitimate the occupation practiced by the Zionist entity. 121. Several years ago, following the October War of 1973, there appeared to be a possibility of seeking a just peace through the United Nations. Numerous efforts were made to make use of that possibility. However, those efforts soon came to nothing because of the involvement of the Egyptian Government with Israel and the United States in the Camp David agreement, followed by conclusion of the "peace treaty" between the Egyptian and Israeli Governments. 122. The Camp David process led to the following results. 123.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“Those resolutions, however, have so far remained mere ink on paper as a result of Israel's rejection of them, because of the Zionist expansionist doctrine, and because of the unlimited support given to Israel by the United States. 119. The United Nations has defined the following principles for a just peace in the Middle East: first, a just solution to the Palestine problem based on granting the Palestinian people their right to self-determination, repatriation and the establishment of their own independent state on their national soil; and secondly, Israel's withdrawal from all the occupied Arab territories, including Jerusalem. 120. The United Nations linked its decision to admit Israel to the Organization to Israel's agreement to implement United Nations resolutions on the Palestine question.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“One of the most dangerous sources of tension in the world today is the Israeli aggression against the Arab nation in Palestine and in the occupied Arab territories. Despite the dangers which this issue poses for international peace and security, in view of the unique location of the Middle East region at the junction of three continents and because of the huge energy reserves it contains, the prospects of peace in that region seem to be almost nil. 118. The international Organization has adopted many resolutions since the inception of the Palestine problem and the creation of the Zionist entity in Palestine and its occupation of other Arab territories.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“In our view, the main cause of the failure is the obstacles that are continually being placed in the way of establishing that new order by the advanced industrial capitalist States and their clinging to the privileges they enjoy under the present unjust economic and monetary system, which is based on exploitation. As a consequence, the will of the international community has been paralyzed and all efforts in this regard have so far failed. 116. In the face of that situation it is incumbent upon the Assembly and the various United Nations bodies to multiply their efforts to set up a new international economic order, since it would be a vital factor in ensuring prosperity and stability for the peoples of the world and in safeguarding international peace and security. 117.”

“We earnestly hope that a solution will be found, based on United Nations resolutions, within the framework of respect for the sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, unity and nonaligned status of Cyprus. 114. The Korean issue also remains unsolved. The Korean people is still divided into two parts. The solution lies in implementing the joint communique signed in 1972.5 115. Endeavors by the various United Nations specialized agencies and bodies are still continuing with a view to setting up a new international economic order. They have achieved no tangible result so far, despite the suffering and difficulties facing most countries of the world, particularly the developing nations.”
1981-09-24 · UN General Assembly · General Debate, Session 36 (1981)
“With regard to Afghanistan, we are of the view that the Afghan Government has the right to defend the independence of Afghanistan against all forms of outside interference in its internal affairs. Afghanistan is of concern to us because of the historic and cultural ties between us and its membership in the nonaligned group, and we are anxious that it should remain nonaligned. Therefore we consider it important and necessary for negotiations to take place between the Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan and its neighbors in order to reach a political settlement that will ensure the security and stability of that region and safeguard Afghanistan's unity, independence and nonaligned status. 113. The problem of Cyprus remains unsolved. The talks between the two Cypriot communities are still stagnating.”

“We have persistently confirmed our absolute support and backing for the national liberation movements in South Africa and Namibia in their struggle to secure the rights of their peoples to self-determination, independence and national sovereignty. We also stand firmly on the side of the African front-line States in facing the brutal racist aggression and the maneuvers aimed at liquidating the liberation causes of the peoples of southern Africa. We declare our firm support for Angola against the military aggression carried out by the racist regime in South Africa and call on the international Organization to impose the maximum sanctions against the racist aggressors. 112.”

“Those regimes are engrossed in their racist practices and aggressive expansionist policies. They are consolidating collaboration among themselves in various fields, particularly in the manufacture of nuclear weapons. Consequently, the regions dominated by those regimes have become, because of the weakness of the international deterrent, explosive hotbeds which endanger international peace and security and directly threaten the security and independence of the African continent and of the Arab world. 111. In the face of this grave problem, the Assembly must take a firm stand based on the will of the international community.”

“Thus the world could feel that its international Organization was firmly and sincerely striving to spare it the misery of a destructive world war. 109. It is an established fact that if disarmament is to be carried out and to attain its objectives it must be accompanied, in practical terms, by the elimination of colonialism, racism and Zionism and of all aspects of aggression and occupation, hegemony and domination, spheres of influence and foreign exploitation. Peoples must be guaranteed respect for their independence, territorial integrity, sovereignty and right to self-determination. A 110. It should be pointed out in that connection that racism and racist regimes, especially in occupied Palestine and South Africa, represent an acute and dangerous problem.”

“108. Disarmament remains a complex issue. General Assembly resolutions and United Nations efforts have so far failed to achieve results which would benefit the whole of mankind and safeguard future generations and human civilization. On the contrary, today we notice an escalation of the arms race, particularly in the field of weapons of mass destruction. The most significant example of this is the United States decision to manufacture the neutron bomb. We are also witnessing a grave expansion by the United States in the establishment of military bases and the concentration of troops and fleets in certain areas. Therefore it is high time for the Assembly to take decisive measures to curb the arms race and the establishment of foreign military bases, as well as to reduce forces and limit their deployment.”

“The world is facing difficult crises which with the passage of time are increasing in number and in complexity, especially since the renewal of neo-colonialist activities, plans for domination, expansion and hegemony, and the qualitative and quantitative expansion of armaments. 107. In the face of that situation it is imperative to struggle persistently to restore detente and expand its framework. This could be achieved by the participation of all States, on an equal footing, in shaping the policy of detente so that it would acquire the necessary international dimensions. The process of detente must be based on justice and the right of peoples to self-determination so that it may become a positive factor in guaranteeing international peace and security and in the establishment of a new order of international relations in various fields.”

“All those acts have pushed the world again into an atmosphere of cold war, besides creating hotbeds of conflict that may explode at any moment and the effects and extent of which would go far beyond their regional limits. 105. In that context, for example, the United States has set up a rapid deployment force designed for action in the Arabian Gulf region. We have also noticed the expansion of United States military bases in third-world countries and an increase in military fleets in the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean. The United States, after having tried to deploy nuclear missiles in Western Europe, has started to manufacture and store the neutron bomb, thus increasing the factors of horror and terrorism and the risks of destroying the world and annihilating mankind. 106.”

“Despite all the efforts exerted by the various United Nations organs and conferences to consolidate the pillars of peace and security in the world, to ease world tension, to contain and defuse difficult crises and hotbeds of tension, the world is still witnessing an escalation of tension and a persistent endeavor to create problems and crises. That is mainly due to the wish of world imperialism to return to the cold war in a new form, to extend its domination as far as possible, to create spheres of influence, to acquire military bases and facilities, to amass armed forces in specific preas and to deploy destructive nuclear missile networks.”

“101.It gives me pleasure to congratulate you, Sir, on your election to the presidency of the thirty-sixth session of the General Assembly and to wish you every success in carrying out your task. 102. I also congratulate Mr. Riidiger von Wechmar, the outgoing President, whose efforts were instrumental in ensuring the significant results achieved by the General Assembly. 103. I take this opportunity of welcoming the admission of Belize and the Republic of Vanuatu as Members of the United Nations. We look forward to the independence of peoples still suffering under racist and colonialist regimes and to their admission to this international Organization. 104.”

“Thus, there is a pressing need for the world community to re-examine Israel's membership in the United Nations, because Israel not only systematically rejects the United Nations resolutions but also defies them and persists in its defiance. Is there a situation that more warrants attention and the adoption of serious resolutions? We urge the General Assembly to adopt resolutions imposing sanctions against Israel and suspending its membership in the international Organization, to ensure respect for the Charter and resolutions of the United Nations and to stress the significance of working for peace.”

“That is the only course that would create normal circumstances for the establishment of peace in the region. 29. That is the situation in our region. The dangers grow day after day because of Israel's continuing policy of aggression in the occupied territories and against brotherly Lebanon, which include ground, air and sea raids that jeopardize the peace and security of Lebanon and the entire region. It has become urgent for the General Assembly to assume its responsibilities by imposing sanctions against Israel, since the United States of America has succeeded in paralyzing the Security Council by the abuse of the right of veto. 30.”

“These obstacles are: first, the Egyptian Israeli Treaty, and hence the Egyptian Israeli United States alliance and the objectives it aims to achieve in the region; secondly, the establishment of American military bases, which reveal the hegemonistic intent of the United States of America in the region; and, thirdly, the Israeli decisions and measures related to Jerusalem, the establishment of settlements and the alteration of the characteristics of the occupied territories. 28. These aggregate results have created an imbalance in the region, thereby immobilizing the peace process and creating a major deadlock. Such a situation requires that all peace-loving peoples stand at the side of the Arabs in order to eliminate these obstacles.”

“The Assembly has defined in many resolutions the bases for a just and lasting peace in the region. Such bases may be summarized as follows: first, complete and unconditional Israeli withdrawal from all the occupied Arab territories; and secondly, recognition of the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people. The General Assembly has defined the nature and limits of these rights. 27. However, the Camp David accords have transformed the process of establishing a just and lasting peace into obstacles in the way of achieving peace.”

“For this reason, attempts are being made by some international circles here and there, which are directly linked to the United States policy and strategy. These attempts are designed to find a breakthrough for the Camp David policy to enable it to pursue its course under another title. While cautioning the world public of the dangers of such attempts, we stress that they are bound further to complicate and aggravate the situation in the region. 25. We shall never accept any manoeuvres or conspiracies with respect to our right to liberate our occupied territories and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, recognized by the United Nations, namely the right to return, to self-determination and to establish their own independent State. 26.”

“The Camp David policy has realized some of the objectives of Israel and the United States by isolating Egypt and embroiling the Egyptian Government in a policy that runs counter to the Arab nation and the interests of the Arab people of Egypt, by setting up United States military bases in some countries of the region and by the adoption of a decision by the Israeli Government to annex Jerusalem and continue with the policy of settlements. However, despite these extremely dangerous objectives, which have rendered the region a field for a fierce international and regional conflict, the Camp David policy has failed to realize one of its main objectives, namely, to liquidate the cause of Palestine, because of its failure to find a Palestinian negotiator and because of the firm Arab opposition to such a policy. 24.”

“This trend is manifested in the setting up of a series of United States military bases in some countries of the region. 22. It was natural for the Arabs to reject and oppose this conspiracy, for they refuse capitulation to the same extent as they are eager to realize peace based on right and justice. Peace that is not based on right and justice is no more than a phase towards a new war. The continuous feeling of oppression and injustice is bound to increase the drive towards eliminating the causes of oppression and injustice. 23.”
