And as it hails
the firm Egyptian attitude and its commitment to the primary attitudes
towards the axioms of the Arab
issues most important of which the unity and stability issues of the
Arab countries and on top of which the Palestinian cause, securing
just, lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle
East, lifting blockade off
Iraque and its territorial
unity as well as ending the suffering of the
brotherly people of Iraque together with the unity of the brotherly
Sudanese people and their territorial unity. - And as it lauds the Arab attitude firmly rejecting any strike against Iraque out of safeguarding the safety of the Iraqui people and their territorial unity and the Arab and Regional National Security. -
And as it warns
against the disastrous consequences that will be resulted from militarily
striking Iraque with all the grave material and human damages and that
will shake the credibility of the U.N. and endanger the relations of the
U.S.A. with many of the world countries rejecting this strike and it will
also lead to a popular fury that could result in chaos in the region. The Committee; therefore, confirms the following: - War against Iraque is not justified as implementing international resolutions is an international affair in the framework of the United Nations. Also, changing government systems is a concern of peoples and nobody other than Iraquis has the right to demand a change in the government system. Thus, solving the Iraqui issue is to take place in the framework of the U.N. Security Council and General Assembly. - Striking Iraque will lead to the loss of the Iraqui people's abilities and achievements and to more suffering of the people. - The importance of intensively moving on all regional and international levels so as to reach an ultimate peaceful resolution to the Iraqui crisis in the framework of : · International Legitimacy represented in the U.N. · Non-interference in the internal affairs of any country · Safeguarding the unity and stability of Iraque · Putting an end to the suffering of the Iraqui people · The
return of the International Inspection Commission
to Iraque -
The U.S.A., with
all the determined attempts to find reasons to strike Iraque, raises a lot
of question marks before the international community that is not, so far,
convinced with any of these justifications that give no explanation but
Israel's interests even though against those of America. - Preventing
Iraque from producing mass destruction weapons, though a seemingly
acceptable justification, completely loses its credibility
with all the American support to the immense Israeli military
arsenal that produces and accumulates all sorts of mass destruction
weapons whether nuclear, chemical or biological. -
Seeing that it is a must for Iraque to accept the return of
the inspectors to protect the Iraqui people by letting pass the chance of
any forged or justified pretexts to attack Iraque, the Committee does
assert that the question of mass-destruction weapons is not only related
to Iraque but to all the countries of the region headed by Israel with all
its possession of weapons that represent a real grave danger directly
threatening the whole region. Thus, the international
community is to urgently respond to President Mubarak's call on
April 5, 1990 to declare the Middle East a Mass-destruction weapons Free
Zone which has become an urgent question dictating on the U.N. to ensure
the international justice principle by applying to Israel all the measures
applied to other countries.
