ON THE PALESTINE QUESTION AND THE SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST
The Fifth Islamic Summit Conference, the Session of
Islamic Solidarity, held in Kuwait, the State of Kuwait, from 26-29 Jumada Al
Oula, 1407H corresponding to 26-29 January, 1987,
Proceeding from the principles and objectives of the Charter of the Organization of the Islamic Conference;
Reaffirming, the principle of strengthening Islamic Solidarity with the Palestinian people and the unswerving commitment of the Islamic States to adopt a unified stand in favour of the just struggle waged by the Palestinian people to recover their inalienable national rights under the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization, their sole and legitimate representative;
Reaffirming that the question of Palestine including that of the Al-Quds Al-Sharif, is the core of the Middle East conflict and that the continued occupation of the Palestinian and Arab territories by the Zionist enemy, its refusal to withdraw its annexation of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, its declaration of Al-Quds as its eternal and unified capital, depriving the Palestinians of their inalienable national rights constitute a flagrant violation of the principles of International Law, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the resolutions of the United Nations and international legitimacy;
Expressing grave concern at the increasingly deteriorating situation in the Middle East, in particular in Occupied Palestine, as a result of unceasing wars and continued attacks by the Zionist enemy against the countries and peoples of the region, mainly the Palestinian people, with the total and unlimited support of the United States, thus posing a most serious threat to world peace and security;
Convinced of the need to adopt practical measures to counter the continuous acts of aggression of the Zionist enemy and its gangs, the deliberate desecration of the sanctity of Al-Aqsa Mosque, the escalation of their organized state terrorism, and their daily -practice of the scorched earth policy against the Arab and Palestinian citizens, their properties and holy Places, particularly in Al-Quds AI-Sharif;
Convinced that the time has come to apply the sanctions provided for in Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter and their immediate imposition an the Zionist enemy;
Considering that the maintenance of any form of political, economic; cultural, Scientific and other relations, at any level, with the Zionist enemy encourages and enables it to perpetuate its occupation of the Arab and Palestinian territories, including Al-Quds A-Sharif, and persistently disregard the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people, thereby posing serious threats to the Islamic principles, values, heritage, culture and civilization, and flagrantly violating the Charter and various resolutions of the OIC;
Guided by all the U.N. resolutions on the Palestine and Middle East question;
Proceeding from all the other Islamic resolutions adopted on the question of Palestine and the Middle East;
1. Reaffirms its adherence and total commitment to the following principles on which the solution of the question of Palestine and the Middle East should be based:
(a)The Palestine question - the foremost cause of the Muslims - is the core of the Middle East problem and the Arab-Zionist conflict.
(b)The Palestine question and the Middle East problem must be dealt with and solved as an indivisible whole. Therefore, there can be no partial solution, or a solution that involves only some of the parties to the conflict, or cover only some of the causes of the conflict, to the exclusion of others, nor is it possible to establish a partial peace, for peace must be comprehensive for all parties
(c)A just peace in the region can only be based on the Complete and unconditional withdrawal of the Zionist enemy from all the occupied Palestinian and Arab territories and the recovery of the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people, which include:
I. Their right to their homeland, Palestine;
II. Their right to return to their homeland, and to recover their Possessions as guaranteed in the U.N. resolutions;
III. Their right to Self-determination without any external interference:
IV. Their right to freely exercise their Sovereignty Over their national land and its natural resources;
V. Their right to establish their national independent Sovereign state in Palestine, with AI-Quds AI-Sharif as its Capital, under the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
d)The City of Al-Quds AI-Sharif - the capital of Palestine is an integral part of the Occupied land of Palestine. The Zionist enemy must, therefore, withdraw totally and unconditionally from it and to restore it to Palestinian sovereignty.
e) The Palestine Liberation Organisation is the sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people. It alone is fully entitled to represent this people, and to participate independently and on an equal footing in all international Conferences, activities and fort dealing with the Palestine Question and the Arab-Israeli conflict in order to recover the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people.
No solution can be comprehensive, just and acceptable, unless the Palestine Liberation Organisation participates, as an equal and independent party, with other, parties concerned, in its establishment. No other party is entitled to claim the right to represent or negotiate, on behalf of the Palestinian people, their land or their rights. -. Anything in contradiction with this rule is null and void, and has no legal consequence
f) Security Council Resolution 242 of 1967 is not consistent with the Arab and Palestinian rights and, is not a sufficient basis for a solution to the Palestine and Middle East problem.
g)To reject all unilateral agreements and initiatives which violate the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people to repatriation, self-determination and establishment of their independent State on their own national soil, and which are in contravention of the principles of seeking a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestine Question and Middle East problem, so as to secure a just and comprehensive peace in the region.
h)The necessityof extending full and effective moral and material support to the Palestinian people in their Occupied national homeland and to reinforce their steadfastness and resistance to the conspiracy of "autonomy".
2-Reaffirms that any solution not founded on all these principles and basis and on their application without exception cannot lead to a just peace but, on the-contrary, will render the situation in the region more explosive and help the Zionist enemy to achieve its objectives and its expansionist, colonialist and racist settlement policies as well as encourage bilateral or partial solutions in disregard of the essence of the Palestinian Question, and pave the way for the hostile policies and designs, whatever their sources, aimed at liquidating the Palestinian Question.
3-Reaffirms the commitment of Member States to the convening of an International Conference for Peace in the Middle East under the aegis of the United Nations, with the participation of all the parties concerned in - the Arab-Israeli conflict, including the Palestine Liberation Organization on an equal footing with them, as well as all the permanent members of the Security Council, with a view to implementing the relevant U.N. Resolutions, and the convening of a meeting of a preparatory committee to be attended by the five permanent members of the Security Council.
4-Reaffirms the need for collective action by Member States to ensure the adoption of a new resolution by the Security Council guaranteeing the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to return to their homeland, Palestine; their right to self-determination -and their right to establish their independent Palestinian State on their national soil, with AI-Quds Al-Sharif as its capital, under the leadership of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, their legitimate and sole representative, in accordance with the relevant international resolutions.
5- Reaffirms its strong condemnation of the policy of the United States, persisting in:
- Its hostile attitude towards the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people, its continued support of the occupation by the Zionist enemy of the Palestinian and Arab territories, including Al-Quds Al-Sharif, and its non-recognition of the P.L.O. as the sole, legitimate representative of the Palestinian people,
- its continued and growing support to the Zionist enemy in all fields, particularly in the military, political and economic fields in pursuance of the Strategic Cooperation Agreement concluded between them, and the endeavours to turn the Zionist entity into an arsenal of strategic weapons and a depot of ammunition to be used against the peoples and States in the region,
- the use of the right of veto to prevent the adoption of resolutions by the U.N. Security Council on the question of Al-Quds, Palestine and the Middle East, which affords total support to the Zionist enemy and its continued acts of aggression, occupation and attempts to annihilate the Palestinian people and annex the occupied Palestinian and Arab territories, including the city of Al-Quds Al-Sharif, thereby reneging on its obligations as a major power responsible for the maintenance of international peace and security, and
- launching diplomatic and propaganda campaign-throughout the world, particularly in Western Europe, against the P.L.O. with a view to bringing about the closing of PLO offices there, withdrawal of recognition of the Organization and the elimination of the political presence of the Palestinian people in such countries.
6- Calls for intensifying contacts with the E.E.C. with a view to inducing it to adopt more progressive positions to implement its own previous resolutions on the question of Palestine and the Middle East, and to develop such positions on the basis of observance of international law and the U.N.

These settlements must be dismantled and no more established, in accordance with the United Nations Charter and its numerous resolutions.

Security Council and General Assembly resolutions regarding its annexation of the occupied Syrian Golan heights and the enforcement of its laws and jurisdiction over the occupied Golan Heights, and reaffirms that this annexation is illegal, null and void and has no legal validity, whatsoever.
