  1. “Finally, the Non-Aligned Movement reaffirms its support for the Middle East peace process and hopes that the current efforts will finally bring an end to the occupation of all Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967 - the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and the occupied Syrian Golan - and the achievement of the two-State solution. The Movement reaffirms its unwavering commitment to finding a just and peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to ensuring that the Palestinian people exercise their inalienable rights, including their right to self-determination and sovereignty in their independent State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

  2. “While negotiations and meetings continue between the two parties, the process continues to be directly obstructed and undermined by Israel's continued implementation of illegal policies and practices in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and by its disrespect for the commitments it has undertaken in the peace process. NAM. urges all parties involved, including the Security Council and the Quartet, to make the efforts necessary to promote the peace process and thus achieve a just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East based on Security Council resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 425 (1978), 1397 (2002) and 1515 (2003), the principle of land for peace and the implementation of the Arab Peace Initiative and the Road Map.”

The Non-Aligned Movement condemns the recent Israeli settlement activities in the occupied Syrian Golan. The Movement demands that Israel abide by Security Council resolution 497 (1981) and withdraw completely from the occupied Syrian Golan to the borders of4 June 1967.”

The Movement is fully aware of the enormous challenge facing Lebanon as a result of the 1.2 million cluster bombs launched by Israel during its attack on that country. The Movement once again condemns Israel's use of such weapons and deplores the resulting death toll. NAM. strongly urges Israel to provide the exact locations of those deadly weapons as well as maps of the landmines planted during its occupation of southern Lebanon. The Movement congratulates the people and the leaders of Lebanon and totally supports the Agreement reached in Doha on 21 May 2008.”

  8. “The Movement also welcomes the deployment of the Lebanese Armed Forces along the northern and eastern borders of Lebanon to ensure security and stability there. NAM. remains deeply concerned by Israel's continuing land and air violations of the Blue Line, in contravention of resolution 1701 (2006). We strongly urge Israel to put an end to the occupation of the northern part of Ghajar, on the northern side of the Blue Line, and to immediately refrain from any violation of Lebanese sovereignty or of resolution 1701 (2006) and from any provocation of the Lebanese Armed Forces or the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon.

  9. “The international community must act to bring an end to this siege of the Gaza Strip to allow for the free movement of persons and goods in order to alleviate the humanitarian crisis being endured by the Palestinian people. In addition, the international community must insist that the occupying Power abide by all its obligations under international law, including humanitarian and human rights law, with regard to the Palestinian civilian population under its occupation. The Government of Lebanon has continuously endeavoured to stabilize the situation on its territory following Israel's ruthless aggression and serious violations against the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon. The Non-Aligned Movement once again expresses its satisfaction at the measures taken by the Lebanese Government to implement resolution 1701 (2006).”

  10. “remains gravely concerned by the appalling humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip as a result of Israel's punitive blockade of 08-66031 the area in collective punishment of the Palestinian civilian population. The occupying Power continues its closure of all border crossings of the Gaza Strip, obstructing the movement of persons and goods, including the delivery of vital humanitarian assistance such as food, medicines, fuel and other basic materials, which all remain in short supply. Israel even continues to hamper the work of the United Nations agencies that are trying to provide desperately needed aid to the Palestinian people, who are facing rising poverty, hunger and disease as a result of this cruel siege. Such illegal Israeli measures must be vigorously condemned.”

  11. “Regrettably, once again, the Council failed to act, despite the firm position it had adopted in previous resolutions on the issue of illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory. It remains unable to implement its own resolutions. NAM. reiterates its condemnation of all of Israel's illegal settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and stresses the dangers of such continuing illegal and unilateral Israeli measures. The international community, including the Security Council, should undertake the necessary actions to compel Israel, the occupying Power, to abide by international law and to immediately and completely stop all settlements and the construction, expansion and planning of the Wall in the occupied Palestinian territory. At the same time, NAM.”

  12. “In flagrant violation of international law, and despite commitments made in the context of the Middle East peace process and agreements reached therein, and in total contradiction to the spirit and goals of this renewed peace process, Israeli has actually escalated such illegal activities recently, seeking to advance its attempts to alter the demographic composition, character and status of the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and to impose an illegal unilateral solution. The Movement of Non-Aligned Countries submitted two letters to the President of the Security Council, urging the Council to seriously address this critical issue, including through the adoption of a resolution.”

  13. “08-6603] The Movement of Non-Aligned Countries is deeply concerned by the huge physical, economic and social devastation caused by such illegal and destructive Israeli colonization practices, which are dividing the occupied Palestinian territory into separate, walled-in enclaves and isolating East Jerusalem from the rest of the territory, completely undermining the unity, integrity and contiguity of the Palestinian territory. They are destroying entire communities, displacing thousands of Palestinian civilians and isolating tens of thousands more Palestinians in isolated cantons. NAM. reiterates its demand that Israel, the occupying Power, scrupulously comply with its obligations as reflected in the Advisory Opinion and with Assembly resolution ES-lO/15.”

  15. “The deplorable recent events in Hebron - where extremist Israeli settlers set fire to Palestinian homes and orchards, shot at Palestinian civilians and desecrated Palestinian mosques and graves - illustrate the real danger of the illegal presence of Israeli settlers in the occupied Palestinian territory and their destructive impact on the prospects for achieving peace, security and stability. NAM.”

  17. “That campaign has included the vast confiscation of land, the construction and expansion of settlements, the transfer of settlers, the construction of the Wall, the construction of bypass roads that only Israelis may use and the imposition of a permit regime and other severe restrictions on movement in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. NAM. reiterates its strong condemnation of all illegal Israeli settlement activities and measures, including in and around occupied East Jerusalem and in the Jordan Valley, which are aimed at illegal de facto annexation of more Palestinian land.

  19. “The Non-Aligned Movement has repeatedly called on the Security Council to assume its responsibilities and exercise its authority, in accordance with the Charter, to address the situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, where the Palestinian people have continuously suffered under Israel's brutal military occupation of their land since 1967 and where their fundamental human rights, including the right to self-determination and the right of the Palestine refugees to return, have been denied since 1948. NAM. is very much aware of the great negative impact of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Arab- Israeli conflict on peace and security. Thus, bearing in mind Security Council resolution 1850 (2008), adopted just two days ago, NAM.”

  20. “Since last year the situation has been further exacerbated by Israel's continued pursuit of illegal policies and practices, including incessant military attacks against Palestinian civilians and properties, continuing construction of settlements and the Wall in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, and continued imposition of all forms of inhumane and unlawful measures of collective punishment on the Palestinian civilian population, particularly in the Gaza Strip. The Syrian Golan is still occupied, and the situation in Lebanon remains complex.”

  21. “Mrs. Nl'lfiez Mordoche (Cuba) (spoke in Spanish): I have the honour to address the Security Council on behalf of the 118 member States of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries (NAM).

  22. “While it lets self-confessed and unscrupulous terrorists go free, for over 10 years the United States Government has been keeping in high-security prisons five Cuban anti-terrorist fighters political prisoners, who were only trying, with great self-sacrifice and courage, to obtain information on Miami-based terrorist groups, so as to prevent their violent acts and save the lives of Cuban and United States citizens. Once again, we demand their immediate release. Double standards cannot prevail. It is impossible to eliminate terrorism, if some terrorist acts are condemned, while others are silenced, tolerated or justified. Cuba has never allowed, nor will it allow its territory to be used for terrorist acts against any State, without exception.”

  23. “Despite having all the evidence against him for his countless terrorist acts, the United States Government has never done so. Cuba believes that that case is a clear and flagrant violation of resolution 1373 (2001) and other relevant resolutions of the Security Council and the General Assembly, as well as a number of international legal instruments pertaining to the fight against terrorism. Once again, the Cuban Government demands that the United States authorities return the terrorist to the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, which has requested his extradition, or that they try him on their territory.”

  24. “We support the conclusion, as soon as possible and within the framework of the United Nations, of a comprehensive convention on combating international terrorism that includes the definition of terrorism. For years, our country has been submitting to the Security Council detailed information on the terrorist acts against Cuba by various individuals and organizations, as well as on the conspiratorial protection that the United States Government offers them. To date, our denunciations have not received any concrete response from the Council. It has been over a year and a half since the release in the United States of the terrorist Luis Posada Carriles, who is rightly designated the most notorious terrorist of the Western hemisphere.”

  25. “Likewise, our country categorically rejects the unilateral drawing up of lists accusing States of allegedly supporting terrorism, which are inconsistent with international law. We are convinced that multilateral cooperation, under the auspices of the United Nations, is the most effective way to combat international terrorism. We stress the importance of the implementation of the United Nations Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy by all Member States. In that respect, we consider it appropriate to convene an international conference, under the auspices of the United Nations, so as to define terrorism and adopt comprehensive and effective measures for joint action against it.”

  26. “We urge all States to fulfil the obligations they have undertaken to combat terrorism by prosecuting or, where appropriate, extraditing the perpetrators of terrorist acts; by preventing the organization, instigation or financing of such acts against other States from within or outside their territories or by organizations based in their territories; or by refraining from supplying arms or other means that could be used for terrorist acts in other States, among other actions. Cuba also rejects acts, measures and the use or the threat of the use of force that violate the United Nations Charter and international law and that any State imposes or tries to impose against others under the pretext of combating terrorism.”

  27. “Mrs. Nl'lfiez Mordoche (Cuba) (spoke in Spanish): Cuba firmly condemns and rejects terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, including State terrorism. We consider that all terrorist acts, methods and practices wherever, by whomever and against whomever they are committed to be totally unjustifiable, whatever the motive invoked to justify them. The recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai are new and clear proof of the danger that terrorism represents for us all. Cuba expresses its sincere condolences to the people and the Government of India with regard to the victims of those criminal acts.”
