Report of the Secretary-General on
the economic and social repercussions of the Israeli
occupation on the living conditions of the Palestinian people
in the occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem,
and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian Golan (Mandate: ECOSOC
res.
2004/54 and GA res.
59/251, para. 4)
Summary:
The
General Assembly considered this question from its
forty-eighth to fifty-first sessions under the item entitled
"Report of the Economic and Social Council" (resolutions 48/212, 49/132, 50/129
and 51/190).
At its
fifty-first session, in 1996, the General Assembly decided to
include in the provisional agenda of its fifty-second session
an item entitled "Permanent sovereignty of the Palestinian
people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including
Jerusalem, and of the Arab population in the occupied Syrian
Golan over their natural resources" (resolution 51/190).
The
General Assembly considered the item from its fifty-second to
fifty-eighth sessions (resolutions 52/207, 53/196, 54/230, 55/209, 56/204, 57/269 and 58/229).
At its
substantive session of 2004, the Economic and Social Council
requested the Secretary-General to submit to the General
Assembly at its fifty-ninth session, through the Council, a
report on the implementation of the resolution (Council
resolution 2004/54).
At its
fifty-ninth session, the General Assembly, inter alia,
recognized the right of the Palestinian people to claim
restitution as a result of any exploitation, damage, loss or
depletion, or endangerment of their natural resources, and
expressed the hope that the issue would be dealt with in the
framework of the final status negotiations between the
Palestinian and Israeli sides; and requested the
Secretary-General to report to it at its sixtieth session on
the implementation of the resolution on this item (resolution 59/251).
