3 UN Resolutions on Refugees Branding Neighborly
,
Israel Called Contrary to Realities
UNITED NATIONS (JTA)
—The General Assembly's
special political committee
on Nov. 20 passed over-
whelmingly three resolutions
! blaming Israel for the plight
of the Middle East refugees.
The first resolution, passed
by a vote of 83-5 with 27 ab-
stentions (including the Unit-
ed States), "strongly de-
plores" Israel's practices in
the Gaza Strip and calls on
Israel to 'desist forthwith"
and to "immediately" return
the inhabitants "to the camps
from which they were re-
moved."
The second resolution,
passed by 83-6 with 26 ab-
stentions (including the U.S.),
made similar demands in re-
gard to all the administered
areas and insisted that Is-
rael "desist forthwith from
all measures affecting the
physical, geographic and
demographic structure of
the occupied territories."
The third resolution, which
passed by 63-21 votes with 31
abstentions (with the U.S.
voting against), called for
"the people of Palestine" to
be "permitted to enjoy their
inalienable rights and to ex-
ercise their right to self-
determination," which are
"indispensable for the estab-
lishment of a just and lasting
peace in the Middle East."
Israel voted against all
three drafts. On the first two,
it was joined only by Latin
American countries: Costa
Rica, the Dominican Repub-
lic, Guatemala and Nicara-
gua on the first draft and
those four plus Haiti on the
second.
The three drafts were co-
sponsored by Afghanistan,
Guinea, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Mali, Mauritania, Pakistan,
Somalia and Yugoslavia.
The committee also passed
unanimously, 110-0, with Is-
rael abstaining, a U.S.-spon-
sored resolution regretting
the refugees' situation and
urging increased aid by world
governments. Finally, the
committee passed unanimous-
ly two additional resolutions
on the refugee situation, both
co-sponsored by 21 nations.
The first, approved 112-0 with
Israel in favor, voiced "grave
concern" for the refugees'
plight and urged "vigorous)
and constant" fund-raising;
the second, approved by 110-0
with Israel voting yes, I
"strongly" appealed for "gen-
erous" contributions to the.

Israel Ambassador Jacob
Doron excoriated the anti-
Israel resolutions for recog-
nizing "the often-repeated
claim for certain rights for
the Palestinian Arabs" while
"completely ignoring the
rights of the Jewish people
generally and in Israel in
particular." Doron called
them "another link in the
continuing Arab political war-
fare against Israel."

The foreign minister told
his audience that he would
not be attending the UN
General Assembly debate on
the Middle East because the
repetitiveness of UN debates
on the Middle East, the "al-
most automatic repetition of
speeches," detracted from
the assembly importance.
According to Eban, UN
debates have become "mere
vituperative haranguing."
Eban's remarks were seen
as the first official confirma-
tion of a trend to play down
the importance of the world
organization among Israeli
government officials. Observ-
ers said the foreign minis-
ter's comments seemed to
raise the unofficial lack of
respect felt here for the UN
to the level of official policy.
