Israel - Palestine Peace and United Nations Involvement
For the past two years, the Westchester Chapter of UNA has offered to UNA’s Annual Meeting and National Convention a resolution on the Israeli-Palistinian Conflict, which the convention has passed. The following resolution was passed at the annual Convention in March 2007, and was drafted in fall 2006. The operative paragraphs read as follows:
UNA-USA Affirms that the ultimate goal of a comprehensive and peaceful settlement must be the security of the State of Israel within internationally recognized borders, and agreement on a viable, secure, and independent sovereign state for the Palestinian people,
Urges all concerned: 1. To encourage on-going discussions between the Israeli and Palestinian leadership, members of the Quartet, the Arab League, and key countries in the region, aimed at enhancing mutual security and supporting the revival of the Palestinian economy, and 2. To consider the convening of an international conference of all interested parties as soon as feasible, preferably under the auspices of the Quartet.
Expresses its support for the new Secretary General who will assume office in January 2007 at a critical time in the future of the UN and a particular need to find a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
