We set up the committee made up of 10 heads of State which I just mentioned to help find a solution to the problem and to contribute to the safeguarding of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people in accordance with the responsibilities arising from the fundamental principles of the Organization of African Unity and the United Nations.
