No solution can be viewed as comprehensive or just or acceptable unless the P.L.O. participates in its enactment and accepts it, as an independent party and on an equal footing and parity with the rest of the parties concerned;<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n \t<\/span>f)\t<\/span>All the acts perpetrated by Israel in the occupied Palestinian and Arab territories, including Al Quds, that is to say all measures, constructions modifications or alterations in the political, cultural, religious, civilizational, physical, geographical, demographic and other conditions and features are considered illegal, null and void;<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n \t<\/span>g)\t<\/span>Any settlement that Israel has established or would establish in the occupied Palestinian and Arab territories including al Quds, are illegal, null and void and constitute an impediment to the realization of peace. Such settlement should therefore be immediately removed and Israel should abstain from establishing any new ones, in accordance with UN resolutions in connection with that question and in particular Security Council resolutions 452(1979) and 465 (1980).<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 2.\t<\/span>Affirms<\/u> that any solution that is not founded on all those principles and tenets can never lead to a just peace, indeed it can only exacerbate tensions in the region and lead to the policies which are being applied by the parties to the Camp David agreement and are designed to liquidate the cause of Palestine and help Israel achieve her objectives and expansionist, colonialist and racist policies. It would, moreover, encourage bilateral and partial solutions while disregarding the essence of the<\/p><\/div>\n problem;<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 3.\t<\/span>Emphasizes<\/u> the fact that any infringement of the resolutions of the Islamic Conference Organisation connected with the Middle East problem and the cause of Palestine and Al Quds would lead to an attenuation of the struggle to liberate Al Quds and the occupied Palestinian and Arab territories and secure the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people, and would harm the struggle of the Organisation being waged against colonialism, foreign occupation, racism and zionism and could be viewed as an impairment of the member states determination to put an end to Israeli occupation of the Palestinian and Arab territories and their resolve to assist the Palestinian people in realizing their inalienable national rights;<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 4.\t<\/span>Reaffirms<\/u> its rejection and condemnation of the Camp David agreements signed on 17.9.1978, and the Israeli-Egyptian treaty signed on 26.3.1979 and all the results and repercussions related to these agreements and calls for them to be resisted by all means and methods;<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 5.\t<\/span>Strongly condemns<\/u> any partial or separate solution and any agreement that would be harmful to the rights of the Arab nation and the Palestinian people, or could be viewed as a violation of the principles and resolutions of the Islamic Conference Organisation and UNO; or could prevent the liberation of Al Quds and occupied Palestinian and Arab territories or prevent the Palestinian people from securing and fully exercising their inalienable national rights, including their right to return to their homeland as well as their right to national independence and sovereignty in Palestine;<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 6.\t<\/span>Condemns<\/u> the collusion between Egypt, Israel and the United States in all fields and deems it a direct aggression on the rights of the Palestinian people, their homeland and future, and a serious threat to the security of Arab and Islamic States and their stability;<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 7.\t<\/span>Strongly condemns<\/u> the Egyptian Government's initiative in normalizing its relations with the Zionist entity and considers it a rejection of the principles of the sacred Jihad and as a danger to Islamic principles, ideals heritage, culture and civilization;<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 8.\t<\/span>Strongly condemns<\/u> the USA's persistence in its inimical attitude towards the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people, and the total withdrawal from all the occupied Palestinian and Arab territories, including Al Quds, which constitutes a violation of the principles and objectives of the UN Charter and of resolutions of the General Assembly pertaining to the cause of Palestine and the Middle East, and can be viewed as an obstacle to the establishment of a just peace in the region. The Conference also condemns the policies, the United States of America seeks to impose on the region at the expense of the liberation of the occupied – Palestinian and Arab territories, including Al Quds, and at the expense of the inalienable national rights of the Palestinian people. The Conference affirms that the United States' persistence in following these policies can only be reflected negatively on the relations and interests between the Moslem States on the one hand, and the United States, on the other.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 9.\t<\/span>Strongly condemns Israel for pursuing its policies and practices in Al Quds and the occupied Palestinian and Arab territories, and more particularly her annexing part of them, establishing Israeli settlements and bringing in alien settlers; for destroying houses, seizing and confiscating property, evicting the Arab inhabitants and deporting, expelling, despoiling, exiling, transferring and ejecting them; in addition to denying them the right to return, their massive detention and whole-sale torture, the obliteration of national, archeological, spiritual and cultural features; for obstructing the freedoms and beliefs and the exercise of their religious rights and rites; for disregarding the laws relating to personal status; for illegally exploiting the heritage and natural and human resources of the occupied Palestinian and Arab territories and their populations;<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n 10.\t<\/span>Condemns<\/u> Israel for refusing to abide by Security Council resolution 446 (1979), 452 (1979) and 465 (1980) in which the Council fully confirmed that all measures taken by Israel to alter the features of the occupied Palestinian and Arab territories, including Al Quds, are illegal and denounced Israeli policy and practice in establishing settlements while stressing that it was imperative to cancel these measures and remove the current settlements, and abstain from setting up new ones;<\/p><\/div>\n <\/p>\n
