\n\t\t\t\tGuided<\/i> by the principles and objectives of the Charter of the United Nations, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenants on Human Rights,\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tGuided<\/i> also<\/i> by the rights of all peoples to self-determination and the inadmissibility of the acquisition of land by the use of force, as enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations,\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tAffirming<\/i> the applicability of the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949, to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tAffirming also<\/i> the applicability of international human rights law to the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem,\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tRecognizing<\/i> that the Israeli military attacks and incursions in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, particularly the recent ones in the occupied Gaza Strip, constitute violations of international humanitarian law and of the human rights of the Palestinian people therein and undermine international efforts, including the Annapolis Conference and the Paris International Donors’ Conference for the Palestinian State, aimed at invigorating the peace process and establishing a viable, contiguous, sovereign and independent Palestinian State by the end of 2008,\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tRecognizing<\/i> also<\/i> that the recent Israeli attacks and incursions in the occupied Gaza Strip have led to a considerable loss of life and injuries among Palestinian civilians, including women, children and infants,\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>2.\t<\/span>Expresses<\/i> its shock at the Israeli bombardment of Palestinian homes and the killing of civilians therein and at the Israeli policy of inflicting collective punishment against the civilian population, which is contrary to international humanitarian law, and calls for bringing the perpetrators to justice;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>3.\t<\/span>Calls<\/i> for<\/i> the immediate cessation of all Israeli military attacks throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory and the firing of crude rockets, which resulted in the loss of two civilian lives and some injuries in southern Israel;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>4.\t<\/span>Also calls for<\/i> urgent international action to put an immediate end to the grave violations committed by the occupying Power, Israel, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including the series of incessant and repeated Israeli military attacks and incursions therein and the siege of the occupied Gaza Strip;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>5.\t<\/span>Reiterates <\/i>its calls for immediate protection of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory in compliance with international human rights law and international humanitarian law;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>6.\t<\/span>Urges<\/i> all parties concerned to respect the rules of international human rights law and international humanitarian law and to refrain from violence against civilian populations;\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
