Origin - 2014 - First part-session

In the draft resolution, before paragraph 9.1, insert the following paragraph:

"welcomes the efforts of the Palestinian National Council in striving to comply with the political commitments of a partner for democracy despite all the hardships and impediments of the ongoing occupation and illegal measures such as arbitrary arrests and restrictions on freedom of movement."

Explanatory note

On-going Israeli occupation and restrictions which are contrary to international law and practice have made it impossible for the Palestinian National Council to fulfil all requirements.
