SINGAPORE’S EXPLANATION OF VOTE ON AGENDA ITEM 35 QUESTION OF PALESTINE “COMMITTEE ON THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE”, 3 DECEMBER 2019

03 Dec 2019

Mr President,

 

                   I am speaking in Explanation of Vote after the adoption of the draft resolutions A/74/L.14, L.15, L.16, and L.17.

 

2                 Singapore voted in favour of A/74/L.14 (“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/74/L.15 (“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, Mr President.
