Israeli occupation and to Israel's will to guarantee the security and welfare of its people. On this occasion, my delegation firmly reiterates its well-known position that a comprehensive, just and lasting political settlement of the Arab-Israeli conflict must be based on recognition of the inalienable right of the Palestinian people - whose sole, legitimate representative is the Palestine Liberation Organization - t0 BCT/ve S/PV. 2786 39-40 (Mr. Josse, Nepal) a homeland of their own in the region. Such a peace must also be premised on the right of all States in the region, including Israel, to an independent, sovereign existence within secure and internationally recognized borders, as well as on Israel’s withdrawal from all territories captured in the 1967 war. Coming back to the important question of how to initiate negotiations leading to a political settlement, we fully endorse the Secretary-General’s call for an international conference cn the Middle East under United Nations auspices, with the participation of all the par ties concerned. We share the Secretary-General’s belief that an urgent effort is necessary by the international community, led by the Security Council, to promote an effective negotiating process. We wish to recall that it was precisely for the maintenance of international peace and security that the Security Council was created. We believe its unique mandate, political structure and international prestige , combined with all the resources of the United Nations Secretariat, could render it a most effective instrument for RR/10 s/W. 2786 41 (Mr. Jesse, Nepal) But wherever, whenever or however such negotiations take place, take place they must if the grim, gory cycie of riots and retaliation, fear and suspicion, death and destruction that has plagued the region for over 40 .years is to be broken once and for all. This, we believe, is the essential lesson of the turnoil of the past seven weeks.
