sovereignty will not be touched no matter how strong the forces which the aggressor has in its hands. Syria and Jordan will certainly declare this same conviction. 66. Today the people of Palestine live either under the military rule of Israel or as refugees and homeless persons. They are deprived of nationhood and of the right which the United Nations Charter seeks for all, including the right of self-determination, the same right sought and obtained by Israel. The resolutions of the General Assembly and the resolutions of the Security Council concerning Jerusalem and the Middie East brought them little or no help at all. With their continued suffering the area will know no rest. 67. We have come to the Security Council because the two situations are intolerabIe. If we are to know peace under international law, we must first secure the immediate Israeli withdrawal from the Arab territories invaded in 1967. The aspirations of the Palestinian nation will then have to be satisfied and their rights guaranteed. A solution is needed which will bring back justice and peace to an area now in the ruthless grip of violence. 68. We proclaim here our respect for the Charter of the United Nations and our acceptance of all United Nations resolutions concerning the present problem. It is obvious that we cannot accept the continuation of the present situation much longer. 69. We have repeatedly annouuced our readiness to continue Ambassador Jarring’s talks with a view to achieving a just and lasting peace. The price, however, has not been and shall not be the betrayal of our territorial integrity or the abandonment of the inalienable right of the Palestinians as a nation to live in peace within recognized and secure boundaries. The Council will cer- tainly clearly endorse these objectives.
