UN votes against Israel’s occupation of Palestine:
Will it change anything?
The resolution orders Israel to vacate occupied Palestinian territory in a year. But its non–binding nature means that despite an overwhelming majority, the resolution might not change much, analysts say.
By Maziar Motamedi | 19 September
Most countries have backed a United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) resolution that sets a deadline for Israel to end its illegal occupation of Palestinian territory amid rising international criticism of Israel. The resolution, passed on Wednesday, is not legally binding. But it includes stern rebukes of Israel and won the support of many nations in the West that have traditionally backed Israel.
It was the first time in the history of the UN that Palestine introduced its own draft resolution for voting in the 193-member General Assembly, thanks to the enhanced rights and privileges it received– still as an observer state – after a resolution in May.
What does the Resolution say?
The Resolution demands that: “Israel brings to an end without delay its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which constitutes a wrongful act of a continuing character entailing its international responsibility, and do so no later than 12 months”. The Resolution calls for Israel to comply with international law and withdraw its military forces, immediately cease all new settlement activity, evacuate all settlers from Occupied land and dismantle parts of the separation wall it constructed inside the Occupied West Bank.
It says Israel must return land and other “immovable property” as well as all assets seized since the Occupation began in 1967 and all cultural property and assets taken from Palestinians and Palestinian institutions. The resolution also demands Israel allow all Palestinians displaced during the Occupation to return to their places of origin and make reparations for the damage caused by its Occupation.
The Al Jazeera page includes the votes for and against as well as abstentions.
