            Bangladesh, Jamaica, Malaysia, Mali, Namibia, Tunisia and
            Ukraine: draft resolution

                 The Security Council,
                   Recalling its resolutions 476 (1980) of 30 June 1980, 478 (1980) of 20 August
            1980, 672 (1990) of 12 October 1990, and 1073 (1996) of 28 September 1996, and
            all its other relevant resolutions,
                 Deeply concerned by the tragic events that have taken place since 28
            September 2000, that have led to numerous deaths and injuries, mostly among
            Palestinians,
                 Reaffirming that a just and lasting solution to the Arab and Israeli conflict must
            be based on its resolutions 242 (1967) of 22 November 1967 and 338 (1973) of 22
            October 1973, through an active negotiating process,
                  Expressing its support for the Middle East peace process and the efforts to
            reach a final settlement between the Israeli and Palestinian sides and urging the two
            sides to cooperate in these efforts,
                 Reaffirming the need for full respect by all of the Holy Places of the City of
            Jerusalem, and condemning any behaviour to the contrary,
                  1.    Deplores the provocation carried out at Al-Haram Al-Sharif in Jerusalem
            on 28 September 2000, and the subsequent violence there and at other Holy Places,
            as well as in other areas throughout the territories occupied by Israel since 1967,
            resulting in over 80 Palestinian deaths and many other casualties;
                 2.    Condemns acts of violence, especially the excessive use of force against
            Palestinians, resulting in injury and loss of human life;
                  3.   Calls upon Israel, the occupying Power, to abide scrupulously by its legal
            obligations and its responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention relative to
            the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 12 August 1949;
                  4.   Calls for the immediate cessation of violence, and for all necessary steps
            to be taken to ensure that violence ceases, that new provocative actions are avoided,
            and that the situation returns to normality in a way which promotes the prospects for
            the Middle East peace process;
                 5.    Stresses the importance of establishing a mechanism for a speedy and
            objective inquiry into the tragic events of the last few days with the aim of
            preventing their repetition, and welcomes any efforts in this regard;

S/2000/963


                   6.   Calls for the immediate resumption of negotiations within the Middle
             East peace process on its agreed basis with the aim of achieving an early final
             settlement between the Israeli and Palestinian sides;
                  7.   Invites the Secretary-General to continue to follow the situation and to
             keep the Council informed;
                  8.   Decides to follow closely the situation and to remain seized of the matter.
