 Mr. Danesh-Yazdi<\/strong> (Islamic Republic of Iran): Let me begin by joining previous speakers in expressing my appreciation to the Secretary-General for his inclusive and informative reports submitted under agenda item 56, entitled “Cooperation between the United Nations and regional and other organizations”. While we are discussing this agenda item today, I wish to confine my remarks to the report that deals with the cooperation between the United Nations and three organizations with which the Islamic Republic of Iran has the privilege of being more closely associated, namely, the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) and the Asian-African Legal Consultative Organization (AALCO). <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  We welcome the continuation of the effective contacts and consultations between the United Nations and OIC on a number of highly important political issues, particularly those pertaining to Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and the Sudan. We also welcome their cooperation in the past two years on the subjects of conflict prevention and the fight against terrorism. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

 The President <\/strong>(spoke in French<\/i> ): In accordance with General Assembly resolution 477 (V) of 1 November 1950, I now call on the observer for the League of Arab States. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

 Mr. Mahmassani <\/strong>(League of Arab States) (spoke in Arabic<\/i> ): …<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

…<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

  One of the Arab League’s priorities is to find a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that would be in accordance with international law, the Madrid terms of reference, and the Arab peace initiative, by strengthening cooperation between the two organizations to face up to global perils and threats, to bring about peace and security in the region and to free the Middle East of nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction in accordance with General Assembly resolutions on the subject. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

  Cooperation between the League of Arab States and the United Nations is based on Arab heritage and culture, which call for tolerance and peaceful coexistence with others. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

 The President<\/strong> (spoke in French<\/i> ): In accordance with General Assembly resolution 35\/2 of 13 October 1980, I now call on the Secretary-General of the Asian-African Legal Consultative Organization, Mr. Wafik Kamil.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

 Mr. Kamil<\/strong> (Asian-African Legal Consultative Organization) (spoke in French<\/i> ): …<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

…<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

 <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  Another important item on our work programme concerns the legal issues surrounding the Palestinian problem. AALCO has not remained oblivious to the question of Palestine; we have been carefully monitoring it and have been updating our member States on the developments in the region for nearly 30 years now. Serious concern and condemnation of violent Israeli acts against innocent Palestinians were expressed at both the Seoul and Bali sessions of AALCO. The recent advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, declaring the construction of the wall in the occupied territory to be illegal, clearly demonstrates on which side the legal right lies. <\/p><\/div>\n
