reason why it could not accept conquest carried out through the use of force, or allow an aggressor to retain the benefits of an action condemnable under international law. Moreover, what we are dealing with here is primarily a colonial problem to which is applied the action of African 9 countries which put the national liberation movements on their continent on the same footing with the resistance movement of the Palestine people which is struggling tenaciously to recover its homeland and to have its legitimate and inalienable rights prevail. 87. The importance of this series of meetings will be measured by the ability of the Council to again take the situation in hand, to tackle in all of its dimensions the problems raised by the aggressive policy of Israel in order to draw the lessons from action which heretofore has been faltering, made up of half measures, compromises and concessions harmful to the search for peace based on justice. Today, more than ever, the Security Council should resolutely give evidence of the breadth of its vision and engage in healthy self-criticism in order to free itself from the original sin on which is founded the pursuit of the objectives of Zionism. 88. The Security Council has adopted resolutions and perhaps it is time to consider the effect they may have produced and the reception that they have been given. Since the role of the Council could not stop at the adoption of a resolution, should it not therefore concern itself with the implementation of that resolution and impose respect for its decisions? The provisions of Chapters VI and VII of the Charter do precisely give the Council the means of assuming its responsibilities correctly and of ensuring that all the members of the international community submit themselves to its authority.
