Council, I shall spare no effort to cooperate closely with you and my other colleagues. 91. Your predecessor, Mr. Troyanovsky, presided dynamically over the proceedings of the Council last month, and I take this opportunity to thank him. 92. Since 4 August this year, when the Israeli authorities declared the reintroduction of administrative detention in the West Bank and Gaza, they have taken a series of repressive actions in the occupied territories, trampling on the fundamental right to survival of the Palestinian and other Arab peoples and intlicting loss of life and property. 93. In his statement on 12 September [260&h meehg] the observer for the PLO thoroughly exposed and denounced these illegal activities of the Israeli authorities. 9 The Chinese Government is deeply concerned ‘over the deterioration of the situation in the occupied territories caused by the Israeli authorities and extends its profound sympathy and support to the Palestinian and other Arab peoples there, who are faced tHith serious difficulties. 94. The Chinese delegation holds that the decision by Israel to carry out administrative detentions and deporta- tions is in violation of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949,’ and should therefore be repealed imme- diately. The Israeli authorities must also stop forthwith all their repression and intimidation against the Palestinian and other Arab peoples and ensure to them their legitimate right of existence. 95. It is both reasonable and justifiable for the Pales- tinian people and the Arab countries to demand that Israel stop its illegal activities in the occupied Arab territories and implement the relevant provisions contained in’ the aforementioned Geneva Convention. The Security Coun- cil should render them its support in this regard. The Chi- nese delegation therefore supports the draft resolution on this issue proposed by the non-‘&gned caucus [S/Z7459).
