The Security Council,
Recalling its resolutions 476 (1980) and 478 (1980),
Reaffirming that a just and lasting solution to the Arab-Israeli
conflict must be based on its resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973) through an
active negotiating process which takes into account the right to security for
all States in the region, including Israel, as well as the legitimate
political rights of the Palestinian people,
Taking into consideration the statement of the Secretary-General
relative to the purpose of the mission he is sending to the region and
conveyed to the Council by the President on 12 October 1990,
1. Expresses alarm at the violence which took place on 8 October at the
Al Haram Al Shareef and other Holy Places of Jerusalem resulting in over
twenty Palestinian deaths and to the injury of more than one hundred and fifty
people, including Palestinian civilians and innocent worshippers;
2. Condemns especially the acts of violence committed by the Israeli
security forces resulting in injuries and loss of human life;
3. Calls upon Israel, the occupying Power, to abide scrupulously by its
legal obligations and responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention,
which is applicable to all the territories occupied by Israel since 1967;
4. Requests, in connection with the decision of the Secretary-General
to send a mission to the region, which the Council welcomes, that he submit a
report to it before the end of October 1990 containing his findings and
conclusions and that he use as appropriate all the resources of the United
Nations in the region in carrying out the mission.
