  3. “I honour their sacrifices and affirm the ongoing cooperation and coordination between the Lebanese Armed Forces and UNIFIL, which will always be welcome in the Lebanese South. With respect to Lebanon's international relations, I confirm the statement made a few days ago by President Sleiman of the Lebanese Republic to the General Assembly, to the effect that Lebanon, a founding Member of the United Nations that respects the primacy of international law, is fully committed to respecting all resolutions of international legitimacy, including those relating to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, in accordance with the ministerial statements issued by successive Lebanese Governments. We hope that the Security Council will always be a bulwark of defence of the weak against the strong and the victim against the usurper.”

  4. “In that context, we reaffirm Lebanon's commitment to resolution 1701 (2006) and all its provisions. We reiterate our call on the international community to bring pressure to bear on Israel to fulfil its obligations under the resolution, including full withdrawal; an end to its violations of Lebanese sovereignty by land, sea and air; and transitioning from a halt in hostilities to a full ceasefire and complete cooperation with the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIF IL) in delineating the remainder of the Blue Line. Lebanon reaffirms its right to delineate its own maritime borders and to exploit the natural resources, especially oil and gas, in its territorial waters and exclusive economic zone. Here, I pay tribute to the forces of UNIFIL and reiterate Lebanon's condemnation of all aggression 11-5165] against them.”

  5. “Such a comprehensive peace must also include the full withdrawal of Israel from the occupied Syrian Golan to the borders of 4 June 1967, in implementation of international resolutions and under resolution 497 (1981), which declares null and void any act by Israel that changes the legal, physical or demographic status of the Golan. In that context, Lebanon supports the right of Syria to recover all its occupied land. Lebanon, having witnessed the events in Syria today, reaffirms that it wishes to see the territorial integrity of Syria and its people and the safety and security of its citizens. As far as Lebanon is concerned, a comprehensive peace requires a full Israeli withdrawal from all occupied Lebanese territory in the south, especially the Shab'a farms, the Kfar Shuba hills and the northern part of Al-Ghajar village.”

  6. “It continues to build the separation wall and to change the geographic and demographic features of East Jerusalem, in an attempt to erase its Arab identity. At their summit meeting held in Beirut in 2002, the Arabs unanimously adopted a strategic decision to achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East on the basis of resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973), the Madrid terms of reference and the principle of land for peace. That decision later became known as the Arab Peace Initiative, which was launched by the Saudi monarch, King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz A1 Saud, and endorsed by the countries of the Organization of the Islamic Conference.”

  7. “But it is an occupied State, and we must therefore support the efforts of the State of Palestine and its people to end the occupation, achieve independence and return to their homeland. The Palestinians have chosen negotiations over what have become known as final-status issues, namely, Jerusalem, refugees, security, borders, settlements and water. Those negotiations are still coming up against Israel's negativity and intransigence. The greatest danger to the future of peace on the land of Palestine is posed by Israel's practices - its violations of international law and of the resolutions of 2 the United Nations. It continues its settlement activities, expelling people, demolishing homes and confiscating land as well as controlling water resources.”

  8. “Indeed, yesterday the Palestinian Spring train left the station, with its people asking for an end to decades of historical injustice and continued occupation; appealing to the world to recognize the Palestinians" right to have, as do all the peoples of the world, an independent State on their land; and requesting that such a State take its normal and natural place as a full Member of the United Nations. This is but an expression of the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination - a right that was endorsed by the General Assembly more than a quarter of a century ago. Palestine, as all here may well know, meets all the criteria required to become a State under international law: a people, a land, a Government and the ability to establish relations with other States.”

  9. “Under rule 39 of the Security Council's provisional rules of procedure, I invite Mr. Lynn Pascoe, Under-Secretary- General for Political Affairs, to participate in this meeting. The Security Council will now begin its consideration of the item on its agenda. Before I give the floor to Mr. Pascoe, I should like to make some brief introductory remarks in my national capacity as the Prime Minister of Lebanon. I am pleased to participate in this meeting today. I have come from a region where the winds of change are blowing.”
