#TEXT OF ABBAS SPEECH CENTRAL COMMITTEE FULL#

We have to point to the effective role and the good will efforts exerted by the Secretary General of the UN in the past years to reinforce the status of our international organization and in activating its role, including his efforts on the Arab-Israeli conflict and its core, the Palestinian cause.Ī few weeks ago, the war in Lebanon stopped and despite the gravity of the losses and destruction and the tragedies, the international community rushed successfully and achieved an effective intervention and put an end to this and is working to provide support to Lebanon and to its people and its legitimate government to protect its security and independence and end the wars on its territories as we praise this international role, we do hope to see this positive and influential role expand at the political and practical levels in order to tackle and handle the roots of the conflict and wars witnessed in the region for long decades. So, I hope that the works and results of this term will lead to encouragement of cooperation among the peoples and nations for their joint interests and these are the principles stipulated in the UN Charter and abiding by them is one of the basic conditions to join this organization.

Your Majesties and Highness and Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,Īllow me first to extend my congratulations to you after you were elected to be President of this term, wishing you all success in achieving the goals agreed upon by all peoples in the world who believe that this international organization was born to protect the world peace and human rights and the rights of peoples in self determination and I can recall on this occasion the words of late US President Woodrow Wilson who said: 'There is no other place on earth where noble men and women gather reflecting the brightest images of beauty and potential deeply rooted in sympathy, cooperation and consultation through their efforts to achieve justice, and alleviate suffering and lead the weak on the path of power and hope.' Your Excellency General Secretary of the UN Kofi Annan. Your Excellency President of the General Assembly Sheikah Haya Rashed al-Khalifa. In the name of God, the Compassionate and Merciful.
