Yearly Ritual of Israel Bashing
by David Krusch
(Updated December 2013)
For decades, the UN General Assembly has passed numerous resolutions
condemning Israel for actions against the Palestinians,
though it has made almost no formal resolutions addressing Israel's security
concerns from Palestinian terrorism. In 1975, the General Assembly established the “Committee
on the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People” and has used this forum to pass annual resolutions
condemning Israel.
Many of these resolutions pass
every years and some are adopted without reference to a specific committee,
meaning they go directly for
a vote without a review or committee discussion. The following resolutions have been adopted year-in, year-out by the General Assembly.
- Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People
- Division for Palestinian Rights of the Secretariat
- Special Information Program on Palestine
- Question of Palestine
- Jerusalem
- The Syrian Golan
- Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone
- Israel's Nuclear Armament
- Sovereignty of the Palestinians over their Natural Resources
- Palestinian Self-Determination
- Displaced Persons from Six-Day War
- UNRWA Operations
- Refugee Property & Revenues
- Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices
- Applicability of the Geneva Convention
- Israeli Settlements
- Israeli Human Rights Practices
- Emergency Sessions
Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People
Officially called: "Committee on the Exercise of
the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People."
This resolution fully supports the
Committee on the Exercise of Inalienable Rights of the
Palestinians and calls for the committee to "continue
to extend its cooperation and support to Palestinian
and other civil society organizations in order to mobilize
international solidarity and support for the achievement
by the Palestinian people of its inalienable rights
and for a peaceful settlement of the question of Palestine."
The resolution asks for full cooperation with the Committee,
which is needed in order to mobilize the international
community and non-governmental organizations against
Israel.

Division for Palestinian Rights
of the Secretariat
This resolution asks the Secretary-General to provide the "necessary resources" to the
Division for Palestinian Rights of the Secretariat so
that it can "carry out its work as detailed in
the relevant earlier resolutions" and "continues
to make a useful and constructive contribution"
to the Palestinian people. It also asks the Secretary-General
to request the full cooperation of the Department of
Public Information and all member nations in order to
reduce beauracracy so the Division can cover "adequately
the various aspects of the question of Palestine."
It also calls upon world governments to annually support
and organize observances of the International Day of
Solidarity with the Palestinian People on 29 November
"in cooperation with the Permanent Observer Mission
of Palestine to the United Nations."

Special Information Program on Palestine
According to this resolution, the UNGA believes that
the "worldwide dissemination of accurate and comprehensive
information" about the Palestinians is vital to
raising awareness about the Palestinian cause. The resolution
also praises the UN Department of Public Information
for "contributing effectively to an atmosphere
conducive to dialogue and supportive of the peace process,"
and requests the Department's further cooperation with
the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights
of the Palestinian People. It asks the Department to
conduct six separate initiatives, including organizing
"fact-finding news missions for journalists to
the area," expanding its audio-visual material
"on the question of Palestine," and disseminating
United Nations reports and information to the general
world public.

Peaceful Settlement of the Palestine Question
This resolution illustrates the General Assembly's
full-fledged support for the Palestinian cause, and
is rife with condemnation for Israel. The resolution
states that a "peaceful settlement of the question
of Palestine" is "the core of the Arab-Israeli
conflict" and necessary for peace in the entire
Middle East, and that Israel alone must take several
measures to achieve peace with the Palestinians. It
implies that Israel is fully to blame for the start
of the conflict because of the "illegality of Israeli settlements in the territory occupied since 1967 and of Israeli
actions aimed at changing the status of Jerusalem."
The resolution does condemn "acts of terror against
civilians on both sides," but draws a moral equivalency
between suicide bombings that kill innocent Israel and targeted
killings of terrorist leaders, or "extrajudicial
executions." It also expresses "grave concern
over the tragic events in the Occupied Palestinian Territory,
including East Jerusalem, since 28 September 2000, and
the continued deterioration of the situation, including
the rising number of deaths and injuries, mostly among
Palestinian civilians, the deepening humanitarian crisis
facing the Palestinian people and the widespread destruction
of Palestinian property and infrastructure, both private
and public, including many institutions of the Palestinian
Authority." In order for a peace settlement
to be reached, Israel must withdraw from "Palestinian
territory occupied since 1967," resolve the refugee problem, and recognize the Palestinians' "inalienable
rights," and their "right to self-determination
and the right to their independent State."

Jerusalem
This resolution states that it reaffirms the United
Nations' belief that "all legislative and administrative
measures and actions taken by Israel, the occupying
Power, which have altered or purported to alter the
character and status of the Holy City of Jerusalem,
in particular the so-called "Basic
Law" on Jerusalem and the proclamation of Jerusalem
as the capital of Israel, were null and void and must
be rescinded forthwith," and that any laws Israel
imposes on Jerusalem are "illegal" and invalid.
The resolution uses strong language when it states that
it "deplores the transfer by some States of their
diplomatic missions to Jerusalem," and asks them
to withdraw immediately.
According to the American Jewish Committee, when the
Palestinian delegation changed some text in the draft
resolution, the United States changed its vote from
"abstain" to "no," which was viewed
as a major shift in the U.S.
position regarding Jerusalem.

The Syrian Golan
This resolution states that Israel must withdraw from
the Golan Heights,
and reiterates the "fundamental principle of the
inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by force,
in accordance with international law and the Charter
of the United Nations," even though Israel
won the territory in a defensive war
in 1967. The General Assembly is "deeply concerned"
that Israel had not yet withdrawn from the "Syrian
Golan," and that any laws that Israel has imposed
on the Golan since
1981 are illegal and void. The resolution "determines
once more that the continued occupation of the Syrian
Golan and its de facto annexation constitute a stumbling
block in the way of achieving a just, comprehensive
and lasting peace in the region," and calls on
Israel to reestablish peace talks with Syria and Lebanon.

Nuclear Weapons-Free Zone in the Middle East
This resolution was first adopted by consensus without
a vote in 1980. It urges all countries in the Middle
East to take the required steps to make the Middle East
a nuclear free zone, even though it reaffirms the fact
that all member nations have the right to develop nuclear
energy for peaceful purposes. All countries should "agree
to place all their nuclear activities under International
Atomic Energy Agency safeguards," and calls on
all Middle Eastern nations to support the establishment
of such a zone. If a nuclear free zone is established,
then nations must agree "not to develop, produce,
test or otherwise acquire nuclear weapons or permit
the stationing on their territories, or territories
under their control, of nuclear weapons or nuclear explosive
devices." The resolution also adds that bilateral
peace negotiations must continue, language which was
introduced by an Israeli-sponsored amendment in 1996.

Israel & Nuclear Proliferation
This resolution states that the General Assembly is
"cognizant that the proliferation of nuclear weapons
in the region of the Middle East would pose a serious
threat to international peace and security," and
notes that Israel is the only nation in the Middle East who has not signed
onto the Treaty
on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. While
singling out Israel to submit to the International Atomic
Energy Agency for review, it ignores the fact that Iran,
who is currently in the process of obtaining and developing
nuclear weapons, is also a non-signatory of this treaty.

Permanent
Sovereignty of the Palestinians Over Their Natural
Resources
"Permanent Sovereignty of the Palestinian People
in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including Jerusalem,
and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan
over their natural resources"
This resolution reiterates that an occupied people
should have complete control of its natural resources,
and that the United Nations is appliying the principles
of the Geneva
Convention that protects civilians in times of war
to "Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East
Jerusalem, and other Arab territories occupied by Israel
since 1967." It claims that Israel is exploiting
the resources of the Palestinian people, and is concerned
that there has been "extensive destruction by Israel,
the occupying Power, of agricultural land and orchards
in the Occupied Palestinian Territory during the recent
period, including the uprooting of a vast number of
olive trees." The resolution also condemns Israeli
settlements in the West
Bank, which it claims is detrimental to Arab natural
resources, and condemns "the wall being constructed
by Israel inside the Occupied Palestinian Territory,
including in and around East Jerusalem."
Like others before it, this resolution "reaffirms
the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and
the population of the occupied Syrian Golan over their
natural resources, including land and water."
It calls on Israel to fully compensate the Palestinians
for exploiting their resources in a final status peace
agreement.

The Right of the Palestinian People to Self-Determination
The United Nations reaffirms one of its main purposes
as an international institution by claiming that the
development of friendly relations between nations is
based upon equal rights and self-determination of all
peoples, and it is under this viewpoint that it fully
supports the "right of the Palestinian people to
self-determination, including the right to their independent
State of Palestine." This resolution urges all
nations and organizations to support the "Palestinian
people in the early realization of their right to self-determination."

Persons Displaced from Six-Day War and other Hostilities
This resolution endorses the Palestinian position on
the so-called "Right
of Return," where all Palestinian refugees
and their descendants would have the right to settle
in the place of their former homes before 1967 inside
Israel. The issue of Palestinian refugees is a key issue
in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians,
but the General Assembly has already decided the outcome
that it prefers, ignoring Israel's security concerns
with the fact that it would be in effect be allowing
in 4 million people hostile to its existence. The resolution
also endorses the Commissioner-General of the United
Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees
in the Near East (UNRWA) to provide humanitarian
aid to "to persons in the area who are currently
displaced and in serious need of continuing assistance
as a result of the June 1967 and subsequent hostilities."

Operations of UNRWA
This resolution applies the Geneva
Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian
Persons in Time of War to the Palestinians to "territory
occupied since 1967 including Jerusalem," and calls
upon Israel, as the "Occupying Power," to
abide by the rules of this convention. It commends the
"valuable work "of UNRWA to assisting and
protecting the Palestinian refugees, but is "gravely
concerned about the increased suffering of the Palestine
refugees, including the loss of life, injury and destruction
and damage to their shelters and properties" due
to Israeli military operations. The resolution condemns
Israel for its policies of imposing curfews and restrictions
of movement on refugees and aid workers, and urges Israel
to compensate UNRWA for any damages that may have been
incurred due to Israeli actions. Not mentioned are the
damage and destruction caused by Palestinian acts of
terror.

Palestine Refugees' Properties and Their Revenues
The text of this resolution states that the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights mandates that no person
is to be arbitrarily deprived of their property, and
the General Assembly applies this article of the Declaration
when discussing Palestinian refugees. The refugee issue
will be negotiated in the final status agreement by
Israel and the Palestine
Liberation Organization according to the Declaration
of Principles agreed upon in 1993, but the General
Assembly decided what the final agreement would be before
final status negotiations commenced. The resolution
says Palestinian refugees "are entitled to their
property and to the income derived therefrom,"
and calls upon United Nations Conciliation Commission
for Palestine to protect Arab assets inside Israel.

Special
Committee to Investigate Israeli Treatment of the Palestinians
Officially: "Work of the Special Committee to Investigate
Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the
Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territory"
According to the American Jewish Committee, the Special
Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices was established
in 1968, and is the only UN organization created to
investigate human rights in a specific country. The
Committee only monitors alledged Israeli
human rights violations against Palestinians, but
does not investigate Palestinian human
rights abuses, including terrorism, against Israelis.
Each year, the UN bodies adopt five resolutions that
condemn Israeli practices, and these resolutions account
for one quarter of all country-specific resolutions
adopted by the United
Nations Commission on Human Rights.
This resolution begins with the "hope that the
Israeli occupation will be brought to an early end and
that therefore the violation of the human rights of
the Palestinian people will cease." The Committee
"especially condemns the excessive and indiscriminate
use of force against the civilian population, including
extrajudicial executions, which has resulted in more
than 2,600 Palestinian deaths and tens of thousands
of injuries." The resolution also claims that Israel
has continually violated the provisions of the Geneva
Convention that protects civilians in its treatment
of Palestinians.

Convention
Officially: "Applicability of the Geneva Convention Relative
to the Protection of Civilian Persons in the Time of
War, of 12 August 1949, to the occupied Palestinian
Territory, Including Jerusalem, and the Other Occupied
Arab Territories"
This resolution states that Israel should immediately
begin to comply with international law that was set
forth in the Geneva Convention to protect civilians
from harm during wartime. The General Assembly uses
strong language when it "demands that Israel accept
the de jure applicability of the Convention in the Occupied
Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and
other Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967."

Israeli
Settlements in Palestinian Territories
Officially: "Israeli Settlements in the Occupied Palestinian
Territory, Including Jerusalem, and the Occupied Syrian
Golan"
This resolution propagates the myth that Israeli settlements are an obstacle to peace. The
settlements, according to the resolution, have a detrimental
impact on the Palestinian population and economy, and
are in fact illegal because they confiscate Palestinian
land and exploit their natural resources. The General
Assembly is also "gravely concerned about the dangerous
situation resulting from actions taken by the illegal
armed Israeli settlers in the occupied territory,"
and calls upon Israel to accept the Geneva Convention
from 1949 and remove all settlers from Palestinian land.
It also demands that Israel immediately cease the constuction
of the Security
Fence. The resolution "reiterates its calls
for the prevention of all acts of violence by Israeli
settlers," but mentions nothing of Palestinian
terrorism against settlers or civilians in Israel proper.

Israeli Human Rights Practices
OfficiallyL "Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights
of the Palestinian People in the Occupied Palestinian
Territory, Including Jerusalem"
In this resolution, the General Assembly is "concerned
about the continuing systematic violation of the human
rights of the Palestinian people by Israel, the occupying
Power, including the use of collective punishment, the
reoccupation and closure of areas, the confiscation
of land, the establishment and expansion of settlements,"
and "the construction of a wall inside the Occupied
Palestinian Territory." While the resolution briefly
mentions that the General Assembly is "gravely
concerned" with the practice of suicide bombings
which kill innocent Israeli civilians, the rest of the
resolution launches into condemnation of Israeli practices
toward the Palestinians, including the "Israeli
policy of closure and the severe restrictions, including
curfews, imposed on the movement of persons and goods,
including medical and humanitarian personnel and goods,"
and "the ill-treatment and harassment of any Palestinian
prisoners and all reports of torture." All measures
taken by Israel in Occupied Palestinian Territory are
illegal under the constructs of international law. The
resolution then states that it deplores all acts of
violence and terror, but saves its harshest condemnations
for Israel when saying it condemns "especially
the excessive use of force by Israeli forces against
Palestinian civilians," and not Palestinian terrorism
against Israeli civilians.

ES-10/12: Illegal Israeli Actions in
Occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the Occupied
Palestinian Territories
This resolution reiterates that there has been suffering
on both sides of the conflict due to intense violence
since September 2000. The resolution does condemn Palestinian
terrorism against Israelis, and calls on the Palestinian
Authority to take the necessary steps to end violence
and terror. It also "deplores the extrajudicial
killings" by Israel of terrorist leaders. The resolution
"demands that Israel, the occupying Power, desist
from any act of deportation and cease any threat to
the safety of the elected President of the Palestinian
Authority (then Yasser
Arafat)," and states that it is unlawful for
Israel to deport any Palestinian out of Palestinian
Territory.
Vote: 133-4-15
ES-10/13: Illegal Israeli Actions in
Occupied East Jerusalem and the rest of the Occupied
Palestinian Territories
This resolution claims that by Israel constructing
its Security Fence, it is taking Palestinian land, which
goes against the "principle of the inadmissibility
of the acquisition of territory by force." It also
condemns all acts of violence and terrorism, including
the escalation of suicide bombings, but again draws
a moral equivalency between intentional murder of civilians
and targeted killings of terrorist leaders when the
text says it deplores "the extrajudicial killings
and their recent intensification" by Israel. The
General Assembly "demands that Israel stop and
reverse the construction of the wall in the Occupied
Palestinian Territory, including in and around East
Jerusalem," and is concerned "that the route
marked out for the wall...could prejudge future negotiations
and make the two-State solution physically impossible
to implement." The resolution also reiterates its
condemnation of "settlement activities in the Occupied
Territories" because it in effect confiscates Palestinian
land.

ES-10/15: Advisory opinion of the International Court
of Justice on the Legal Consequences of the Construction
of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including
in and around East Jerusalem
This resolution is the follow-up to the International
Court of Justice's advisory opinion about the legality
of Israel's Security Fence built roughly in the area
of the Green Line.
The Court opinion was that the construction of the fence
was illegal, and based upon this opinion, the General
Assembly then demanded that "Israel stop and reverse
the construction of the Wall in the Occupied Palestinian
Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem."
Israel is also obliged to "make reparation for
all damage caused by the construction of the Wall in
the Occupied Palestinian Territory." The resolution
reaffirmed that the United Nations has a "permanent
responsibility...towards the question of Palestine until
it is resolved in all aspects," and that it fully
supports "right of the Palestinian people to self-determination,
including their right to their independent State of
Palestine." All branches of the United Nations
"should consider what further action is required
to bring to an end the illegal situation resulting from
the construction of the wall and the associated regime."
