EXPLANATION OF VOTE SINGAPORE AGENDA ITEM 39 QUESTION OF PALESTINE “COMMITTEE ON THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE” (A/73/L.31) 30 NOVEMBER 2018

30 Nov 2018

Madame President,


                   I am speaking in Explanation of Vote after the adoption of the draft resolutions A/73/L.31, L.32, L.33 and L.34. 


2                 Singapore voted in favour of A/73/L.31 (“Committee on the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People”) on the understanding that the reference in OP2 to the “achievement of the two-State solution on the basis of the pre-1967 borders” should be interpreted in the same manner as set out in OP1 of draft resolution A/73/L.32 (Peaceful settlement of the Question of Palestine”), namely, “the two-State solution of Israel and Palestine, living side-by-side in peace and security within recognised borders, based on the pre-1967 borders.”

 

3                 Thank you, Madame President.
