**Questions and Answers<\/u><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Question<\/u>:   Michelle, there were some reports today that Israel is digging [up] some graveyards in Palestine.  What’s the policy of the United Nations regarding graveyards and the preservations of mosques and churches in occupied territories?<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Spokesperson<\/u>:     You know, of course, that there is a general position that such things should not happen.  We do not have any, of course, confirmation of this.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Question<\/u>:   But in abstract terms, would you denounce that, would you consider this as a crime?<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Spokesperson<\/u>:     Well, I don’t know whether it’s a crime or not, but we have been condemning this type of thing, of course.  But I don’t have any specific information on that, so I cannot comment on that specific information you just gave.<\/p><\/div>\n
