Of the United Nations, it would seem that the Israeli regime has never heard or read of the following: first, that the acquisition of territory by force is inadmissible and that, therefore, Israel must withdraw uncondition- ally from all the Arab and Palestinian territories it has occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem; and, secondly, that civilians in time of war, pursuant to the Geneva Con- vention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War, of 12 August 1949,’ are entitled to the pro- tection of their lives and personal safety and that, there- fore, this applies to the Arab and Palestinian occupied territories. 8. I could go on at great length pointing out the innumer- able ways in which the Israeli Government has disregarded and offended the international community, but it may be more appropriate to emphasize the fundamental elements for a solution to the Palestinian problem, which have already been recognized. As was stressed by the Arab heads of State at the Twelfth Arab Summit Conference, held at Fez in November 1981 and September 1982 [see S/USIO, annex, sect. I], the following are the essential elements for a just and lasting solution to the Middle East conflict: recognition that the question of Palestine consti- tutes the corner-stone of the Middle East problem; Israeli withdrawal from occupied Arab and Palestinian territo- ries, including Jerusalem; exercise of the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to create its own independent State; exercise by the Palestinians of their right to choose to return to their homes; and dismantling of the settlements established by Israel in the Arab territories since 1967. 9. For the United Nations and the Arab States alike, the situation in the occupied territories has been a source of constant concern; for the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries, it has been a fundamental pillar of its anti- imperialist struggle.
