In recent years the General Assembly has requested the Committee monitor all aspects of the situation relating to the question of Palestine and to make recommendations to the General Assembly, the Security Council and the Secretary-General. The Committee also continues to advocate the realization of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, promote a just and peaceful settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and mobilize assistance for Palestinians. It strongly supports the objective of two States, Israel and Palestine, living side by side within secure and recognized borders, having put their support behind the 1991 Madrid Conference, the 1993 Declaration of Principles and the Quartet’s Road Map for Peace. It also continues to support Security Council Resolution 1397 of 12 March 2002, which called for a two-state solution. The Committee also convenes international meetings and conferences in various regions of the world, bringing together representatives of Governments, intergovernmental and civil society organizations, United Nations system entities, academics, the media and others.
