ABDULKARIM AL-ERYANI, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Yemen, said
the United Nations should be supported in the maintenance of
international peace and security as it was the best alternative
available and the sole authority to solve international
problems. The recent positive developments in the world had
been promoted, in large measure, by the United Nations and its
Secretary-General, he added. The ideology of confrontation and
hostility were happily being replaced by new relations of
co-operation and negotiations.
He reiterated his country's support for the proposed elimination
of nuclear weapons by the end of the twentieth century. Yemen
also endorsed the proposals for the banning of all nuclear
tests.
The situation in the Middle East, he then said, was still fraught
with danger. The aggressive policies of Israel against the Arab
Palestinian people were the root cause of the problem. Israel's
"murderous and expansionist policies", he stated, had resulted
in violations of human rights and international law. A
super-Power which abstained on resolutions denouncing the
Israeli practices was not helpful to the situation, he added.
The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), he went on, had
shown great flexibility in its bold moves towards peace, but
Israel persisted in its acts of aggression and rode roughshod
over United Nations resolutions calling for it to desist.
He called for the immediate withdrawal of Israel from all Arab
territories occupied since 1967 and to sit at the negotiating
table with the parties concerned particularly the PLO. The five
permanent members of the Security Council bore the primary
responsibility in bringing about a solution to the Middle East
problem and the ultimate establishment of a free and independent
state of Palestine in its homeland. "The responsibility for the
fire lay not only with those who lit the fire, but also with
those who fanned its flames", he said.
He also urged Member States to support the efforts of the
Tripartite Arab Committee to end the crisis in Lebanon. The
zionist entity should also be made to withdraw from all Lebanese
territory.
