Council’s way* this meeting is, indeed, a historic event. Par that reaaon, at issue is not only the crucial situation in the occupied Arab territories, including the crimes conanitted daily against the Palestinian People, and the obligation of the Council to find or at least assist in finding a solution, but the very credibility and authority of the Council itself. President Arafat has put forward several proposals. fIe has requested that the Secretary-General, or a epecial envoy of his, ~EWREI Permanent duties and establish the neceesary contacts in order to bring peace to the region and settle thie problem. he has asked the Council to adopt measures for the international protection of the Palestinian peogle, a rcsponeibflity which the United Nations has had for &Wet& decades, ever since the very inception of the problem. President Arafat has requested the Council to adoPt a resolution to stem the ma00 influ% of settlers inb the occupied territories. Here tao, future hietotiam will be hard preeeed to explain the handling of this problem - a problem on which this body, charged with acting promptly and effectively, has been working for four months. Under the CircumBtancee, to request thie body to adopt a resolution cm the item ie nOtr in my view. an unreaaanenble t+unstt. S/PV. 2923 141 (Mr. Alarcon de Quesada, Cuba) President Arafat has requested consultations and negotiations leading to the early holding of an international conference. He has urged that steps should be taken to consider the applicatich of the sanction envisaged under Chapter VII of the Charter . He has suggested establishing a fact-finding coramiasion tp look into the crimes committed against the Palestinian people. EFI& of these proposals falls entirely within the sphere of responsibility of this Council. Therefore my delegation believes that they can and should be adopted by this body. 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be a statement or speech delivered by a representative of a country at the United Nations, addressing a pressing issue related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The speaker references the occupied Arab territories, Palestinian people, and the role of the United Nations in finding a solution. The focus is on diplomacy, international relations, and potential actions to be taken by the Council, rather than specific economic, social, or environmental issues.
