The Palestinian mission to the United Nations has distributed a revised resolution to the General Assembly members, demanding Israel end its illegal presence in the occupied Palestinian territories within no more than 12 months from the resolution’s adoption date.
The resolution, set for a vote on September 18, calls on countries to adhere to their obligations under international law and the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice. The revised Palestinian proposal suggests creating an international mechanism for compensation for damages, losses, and injuries caused by Israeli actions in the occupied territories.
Furthermore, the amended Palestinian resolution proposes a conference of the parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to enforce the convention in the occupied Palestinian territories. It also mentions organizing an international conference during the 79th session of the UN General Assembly to implement international resolutions related to the Palestinian issue.
The vote on the resolution is expected to take place during the tenth session of the General Assembly next Wednesday. Recently, the Arab Group at the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the Non-Aligned Movement requested the General Assembly to vote on a Palestinian resolution demanding Israel to end its illegal presence in the occupied territories within six months.
