1. “The NAM member States reaffirm their commitment to promoting a just, lasting, comprehensive and peaceful solution to the question of Palestine in all its aspects, including for the plight of the Palestine refugees, and reaffirm their support for the Palestinian people in their struggle to achieve justice and fulfil their inalienable rights and legitimate national aspirations, including to self-determination, freedom and independence in their sovereign and independent State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital.”

2. “In that regard, and in line with NAM’s principled position, the Movement once again demands that Israel abide by resolution 497 (1981) and fully withdraw from the occupied Syrian Golan to its 4 June 1967 borders, in implementation of resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973). Moreover, the NAM member States emphasize that Israel must withdraw from all Lebanese territories, including Sheba’a Farms, the Kfar Shuba hills and the northern part of the village of Ghajar and an adjacent area north of the Blue Line, in accordance with the relevant United Nations resolutions, in particular Security Council resolution 1559 (2004) and 1701 (2006). To conclude, the Movement seizes this opportunity to reiterate its call for collective international efforts to uphold international law in order to bring an end to this historic and grave injustice.”

3. “The absence of justice only leads to greater impunity and the recurrence of crimes and destabilizes the situation on the ground, diminishing the prospects for peace. The NAM member States therefore continue to call for international action to ensure a cessation of and accountability for the violations being systematically committed by Israel against the Palestinian people. With regard to the situation in the occupied Syrian Golan, the Movement reaffirms that all measures and actions taken, or to be taken, by Israel, the occupying Power, such as its illegal decision of 14 December 1981 that purports to alter the legal, physical and demographic status and the institutional structure, as well as Israel’s measures to apply its jurisdiction and administration there, are null and void and have no legal effect.”

4. “As Israel has clearly abdicated on its obligations as the occupying Power to protect the Palestinian civilian population, as prescribed by the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949, the Movement also reiterates its long-standing call for international protection for the Palestinian people in order to deter violations, promote the human security of the occupied population and prevent the loss of more innocent lives. In that connection, the Movement reiterates its grave concern regarding the lack of accountability for all violations committed by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, many of which may amount to war crimes. Israel must comply with international law and must be held to account for its blatant contempt of the Council and its international legal obligations.”

5. “The Movement reaffirms the continued indispensability of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), along with other United Nations agencies and international organizations, in alleviating their plight, and we urge the international community to provide the Agency with sufficient and predictable funding. Ensuring the continuity of UNRWA and its significant contribution to regional stability must be of concern to the Council.”

6. “NAM reiterates its call for the complete lifting of the illegal Israeli blockade, which continues to inflict dire humanitarian, social and economic suffering on more than 2 million Palestinian children, women and men in Gaza. That crisis must be comprehensively addressed in accordance with international law and the relevant resolutions of the United Nations, including Security Council resolution 1860 (2009). In the absence of a just solution, the NAM member States also reiterate their call for the continued provision of the necessary humanitarian and socioeconomic assistance to the Palestinian people, including the Palestine refugees.”

7. “In that regard, NAM reiterates its rejection of the purported annexation by Israel of occupied East Jerusalem and underscores that the continued threats of annexation by Israeli officials and the continued settlement activities and forced displacement of Palestinian families from their homes and lands must be unequivocally condemned. Any such measures must be forthwith rejected as null and void and without any legal effect and must be met with firm measures of accountability for such grave breaches, including through lawful countermeasures. The situation in the Gaza Strip, in particular the grave humanitarian situation there, remains of great concern to the Movement.”

8. “The Non-Aligned Movement commends the efforts of King Mohammed VI of Morocco as Chair of the Al-Quds Committee of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation and welcomed the appeal regarding Al-Quds/Jerusalem signed in Rabat on 30 March 2019 by King Mohammed VI and Pope Francis, stressing the important role that Al Quds/Jerusalem plays as a city of tolerance and mutual respect among the people of the three monotheistic religions, as well as the need to preserve its specificities and its features as a city of peaceful coexistence.”

9. “It must include a halt to all unilateral and unlawful measures by Israel, the occupying Power, in the occupied Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem. Actions that violate the resolutions of the Security Council, including violations of the historic and legal status quo of Jerusalem and its holy sites, are provocative, dangerous and destroy the prospects for peace. We reiterate our call for full respect for the historic and legal status quo and for the historical Hashemite custodianship over the Christian and Muslim holy sites in the city and the protection of their sanctity and for all relevant provisions of international law and Council resolutions.”

10. “Similarly, the States members of the Movement continue to call for the full respect for and the implementation of all other relevant resolutions, including with regard to the complete cessation of all Israeli settlement activities and the status of occupied East Jerusalem. In that regard, NAM expresses its grave concern about the deteriorating situation on the ground, which has been marked by rising violence, provocation and incitement, particularly settler violence and terror, which has led to the tragic loss of life of more civilians, including children, as well as the detention of thousands of Palestinian civilians and countless other human rights abuses and violations of international law. Action must be taken immediately to help to de-escalate that volatile situation.”

11. “NAM therefore reiterates its call for the full respect of resolution 2334 (2016) and for the effective implementation of its provisions and obligations, particularly by the occupying Power, and including, in terms of States, obligations regarding distinction, which is central to ensuring accountability. The Movement also underscores the need for the intensification of international and regional diplomatic efforts, including by the Security Council, aimed at bringing an end to the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 and at achieving a just, lasting and comprehensive solution.”

12. “NAM believes that resolution 2334 (2016) provides a viable path to peace, setting forth the essential requirement and parameters for the realization of a just outcome on the basis of the two-State solution based on the 4 June 1967 lines and ensuring the fulfilment by the Palestinian people of their inalienable rights, including the right to self-determination, and the independence of the State of Palestine, with East Jerusalem as its capital, and a just solution for the plight of the Palestine refugees in accordance with General Assembly resolution 194 (III).”

13. “We must use them responsibly, and we in the NAM are ready to do so and urge the Security Council to act forthwith and shoulder its responsibilities in this regard. The Security Council must uphold its duty under the Charter to maintain international peace and security and must act to implement its own resolutions. The question of Palestine cannot be the exception in international law and to the authority of the Security Council. The members of the Movement call on the Security Council to overcome its paralysis on the Palestine question to justly resolve this protracted conflict and tragic injustice. This will not only open a new era for the people of the occupied territories and the region, but it will also restore credibility to this organ and our international system as a whole.”

14. “In this regard, the States members of the Movement once again reaffirm that this ongoing historic injustice, with decades of Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territory and other Arab territories at its core, continues to pose a serious threat to regional and international peace and security. As the Palestinian people continue to be deprived of their inalienable rights, including to self-determination and independence, their prolonged international paralysis on this issue is inexcusable. The international consensus on a just solution is firm and clear, and there is a great abundance of multilateral political and diplomatic tools to promote the achievement of a just and peaceful resolution.”

15. “During the NAM Ministerial meeting held on the sidelines of the high-level week of the seventy-seventh session of the General Assembly, on 21 September 2022, the Ministers adopted a political declaration stressing, inter alia, that a just, lasting and peaceful solution to the question of Palestine in all its aspects must remain a priority on the Movement’s agenda and that it remains a permanent responsibility of the United Nations until it is satisfactorily resolved in accordance with international law and the relevant United Nation resolutions and the internationally endorsed parameters.”
