....the Committee approved — by a vote of 170 in favour to 6 against (Argentina, Israel, Micronesia, Nauru, Paraguay, United States), with 9 abstentions (Kiribati, Liberia, Palau, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Togo, Tonga, Tuvalu) — the draft “The right of the Palestinian people to self-determination” (A/C.3/79/L.49).
By the text, the Assembly would stress the urgency of achieving, without delay, an end to the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 and a just, lasting and comprehensive peace settlement between the Palestinian and Israeli sides, reaffirming the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, including the right to their independent State of Palestine. It would urge all States and the United Nations specialized agencies and organizations to continue to support the Palestinian people in the early realization of their right to self-determination.
The representative of Egypt, introducing the draft on behalf of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, underscored that the Palestinian people have the right to self-determination — that is, to live in their independent and sovereign State and decide their own political, cultural and economic development, without any control or threat by a foreign party. Recalling the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice, which determined that Israel must end its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as soon as possible, she also applauded those countries that have recently recognized the State of Palestine.
“There is no derogation from the exercise of the right to self-determination,” said the Observer for the State of Palestine. Underscoring that the Palestinian people’s ability to exercise this right is systematically violated and suppressed by Israel’s unlawful occupation, she stated: “The Israeli Government claims the right to occupy, build settlements, annex our land and forcibly displace our people”. Reaffirming international law, this draft stresses the urgency to end the Israeli occupation.
Meanwhile, the speaker for Israel described the draft as “political in nature” and “a blunt example of double standards towards her country”. While the 7 October 2023 attack was an act of savagery by a genocidal terrorist organization that openly calls for Israel’s destruction, the Palestinian delegation has not once condemned Hamas, she emphasized. Instead, they attempt to delegitimize Israel on the international stage. She further stressed that the phrase “territorial unity” described in the draft means “from the river to the sea” — in other words, the destruction of the territorial integrity of a sovereign State.
Many other delegates supported the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, condemning Israel’s ongoing occupation of their territories, as well as its unfolding genocide and indiscriminate massacres against the population of Gaza. Some speakers voiced regret that Palestine is not a full member of the United Nations.
Others — including the United States’ delegate — countered that this draft does not represent a step towards the realization of the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination.
