Taking note also of letters from the Permanent
Representatives of Jordan (S/13801) and the Permanent
Representative of Morocco, Chairman of the Islamic Group
(S/13802),
Strongly deploring the refusal by Israel to
co-operate with the Commission and regretting its formal
rejection of resolutions 446 (1979) and 452 (1979),
Affirming once more that the Fourth Geneva
Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons
in Time of War of 12 August 1949 is applicable to the
Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including
Jerusalem,
Deploring the decision of the Government of
Israel to officially support Israeli settlement in the
Palestinian and other Arab territories occupied since
1967,
Deeply concerned over the practices of the
Israeli authorities in implementing that settlement
policy in the occupied Arab territories, including Jerusalem,
and its consequences for the local Arab and Palestinian
population,
Taking into account the need to consider measures
for the impartial protection of private and public land
and property, and water resources,
Bearing in mind the specific status of Jerusalem
and, in particular, the need for protection and preservation
of the unique spiritual and religious dimension of the
Holy Places in the city,
Drawing attention to the grave consequences
which the settlement policy is bound to have on any
attempt to reach a comprehensive, just and lasting peace
in the Middle East,
Recalling pertinent Security Council resolutions,
specifically resolutions 237 (1967) of 14 June 1967,
252 (1968) of 21 May 1968, 267 (1969) of 3 July 1969,
271 (1969) of 15 September 1969 and 298 (1971) of 25
September 1971, as well as the consensus statement made
by the President of the Security Council on 11 November
1976,
Having invited Mr. Fahd Qawasmeh, Mayor of Al-Khalil
(Hebron), in the occupied territory, to supply it with
information pursuant to rule 39 of the provisional rules
of procedure,

in preparing the report contained in document S/13679;
2. Accepts the conclusions and recommendations
contained in the above-mentioned report of the Commission;
3. Calls upon all parties, particularly the
Government of Israel, to co-operate with the Commission;
4. Strongly deplores the decision of Israel
to prohibit the free travel of Mayor Fahd Qawasmeh in
order to appear before the Security Council, and requests
Israel to permit his free travel to the United Nations
Headquarters for that purpose;
5. Determines that all measures taken by Israel
to change the physical character, demographic composition,
institutional structure or status of the Palestinian
and other Arab territories occupied since 1967, including
Jerusalem, or any part thereof, have no legal validity
and that Israel's policy and practices of settling parts
of its population and new immigrants in those territories
constitute a flagrant violation of the Fourth Geneva
Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons
in Time of War and also constitute a serious obstruction
to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting peace
in the Middle East;
6. Strongly deplores the continuation and
persistence of Israel in pursuing those policies and
practices and calls upon the Government and people of
Israel to rescind those measures, to dismantle the existing
settlements and in particular to cease, on an urgent
basis, the establishment, construction and planning
of settlements in the Arab territories occupied since
1967, including Jerusalem;
7. Calls upon all States not to provide Israel
with any assistance to be used specifically in connexion
with settlements in the occupied territories;
8. Requests the Commission to continue to
examine the situation relating to settlements in the
Arab territories occupied since 1967, including Jerusalem,
to investigate the reported serious depletion of natural
resources, particularly the water resources, with a
view to ensuring the protection of those important natural
resources of the territories under occupation, and to
keep under close scrutiny the implementation of the
present resolution;
9. Requests the Commission to report to the
Security Council before 1 September 1980, and decides
to convene at the earliest possible date thereafter
in order to consider the report and the full implementation
of the present resolution.
