Country Concerned

Israel

Condemnatory

Yes

Analysis

  • The resolution is redundant to other resolutions adopted on the same day dealing with refugees and UNRWA. The purpose and effect of these resolutions is to single out Israel for censure. No other unresolved conflict is singled out for such a resolution on refugees.

Key Criticism

  • "Reaffirms the right of all persons displaced as a result of the June 1967 and subsequent hostilities to return to their homes or former places of residence in the territories occupied by Israel since 1967."
  • "Endorses, in the meantime, the efforts of the Commissioner-General of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East to continue to provide humanitarian assistance, as far as practicable, on an emergency basis, and as a temporary measure, to persons in the area who are currently displaced and in serious need of continued assistance as a result of the June 1967 and subsequent hostilities."
