I.   CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE EXERCISE OF THE<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

ADDRESSES LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL <\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\t<\/span>On 16 August 1996, the Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the inalienable Rights of the Palestinian people addressed a letter to the President of the Security Council in connection with the note by the President on the simplification of the list of matters of which the Council is seized (S\/1996\/603 and Corr.1). The letter is contained in document S\/1996\/667:<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>In my capacity as Chairman of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, I have the honour to refer to the note by the President of the Security Council on the simplification of the list of matters of which the Council is seized (S\/1996\/603 and Corr.1).<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>I should like to convey the Committee's objection to the decision to delete from the list items related to the exercise of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, the Palestine question and the Middle East problem, which are of utmost concern not only to the Committee but also to the majority of member States.  The Committee believes that pending a comprehensive, just and lasting settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East, the core of which is the question of Palestine, in accordance with international legitimacy, these items should remain on the list of matters of which the Council is seized, as they continue to engage its responsibility with regard to the maintenance of international peace and security.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>I should also like to express the Committee's hope that decisions of such fundamental importance will be taken in thorough consultation with all the parties concerned.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>I should be grateful if you would have the text of the present letter circulated as a document of the Security Council.<\/p><\/div>\n

II.   EXCERPT FROM THE REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

ON THE WORK OF THE ORGANIZATION<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\t<\/span>The report of the Secretary-General on the work of the Organization, submitted to the General Assembly at its fifty-first session (A\/51\/1), contains the following paragraphs relating to the question of Palestine:<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

854.\t<\/span>The period covered by this report was marked by a series of developments underlining the existing difficulties but also demonstrating the parties' determination to proceed on the road to peace. The concentrated efforts of the United Nations have been aimed at supporting the peace process, politically and economically, in order to reinforce what has been achieved in the course of negotiations and to help build the foundations for a lasting peace in the Middle East.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

855.\t<\/span>Following the signing of the Interim Agreement by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) on 28 September 1995, the redeployment of Israeli military forces began in November and was completed, in some cases ahead of schedule, in a number of major cities in the West Bank and in many towns and villages. Authority was transferred to the Palestinians in varying degrees in additional areas, such as local government and commercial activities, and the arrival of Palestinian police was carried out smoothly. A particularly outstanding achievement was the holding of the first Palestinian elections on 20 January 1996. I warmly welcomed this decisive development, which constituted an important step towards the achievement of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people and provided a solid basis towards their self-determination.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

856.\t<\/span>The Israeli-Palestinian peace talks have been accompanied by tragic events, however, first and foremost the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin at a peace rally in Tel Aviv on 4 November 1995. I represented the United Nations at his funeral. The world was further dismayed by four suicide bombings in Israel in February and March, which caused 60 deaths and hundreds of injuries. I condemned this upsurge of terrorism in the strongest terms and called on the world community to unite in action against such despicable acts of violence. Following these events, I attended the Summit of Peacemakers in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, at the invitation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and United States President Bill Clinton. Fully supporting the Summit’s decisions, I expressed the readiness of the United Nations to assist in implementing them in the legal and practical fields.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

857.\t<\/span>At the same time, the prolonged closure of the West Bank and Gaza, which was intended by Israel to prevent further terrorist attacks, became the focus of international attention because of its drastic effect on the Palestinian economy. In a letter dated 28 March, I urged Prime Minister Shimon Peres to consider lifting the closure, at least gradually, in order to allow the normal provision of services by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) to Palestinian refugees. The subject was taken up by the Security Council at a formal meeting on 15 April 1996.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

858.\t<\/span>The United Nations system of programmes and agencies, under the general guidance of the Special Coordinator in the Occupied Territories, Terje Rod Larsen, has continued to provide assistance to the Palestinian people. A coordination mechanism has been established on the ground to ensure effective disbursement of donor funds. A measure of progress has been achieved in job creation, institution-building, infrastructure development and police training. However, some momentum was lost because of Israel's closure of the West Bank and Gaza, and it took more effort to sustain these improvements.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

859.\t<\/span>In late March, the Special Coordinator, in cooperation with the Palestinian Authority, the Government of Israel and key donors, developed an emergency humanitarian plan in an effort to ease the social and economic dislocation of the Palestinians. Immediately put into effect, the plan has attempted to alleviate closure-related hardships and losses by creating job opportunities, project development and the mobilization of necessary resources.<\/p><\/div>\n

Two resolutions pertaining to the question of Palestine were adopted.  Moreover, the Sub-Commission requested the relevant Special Rapporteur to submit to its forty-ninth session a final report on human rights dimensions of population transfers, including the implantation of settlers, following his progress report of 30 June 1994 (E\/CN.4\/Sub.2\/1994\/18).  The text of the adopted resolutions is contained in the Sub-Commission’s draft report (E\/CN.4\/Sub.2\/1996\/L.11) as follows:<\/p><\/div>\n
