The Assembly of African heads of State and Government at its last Summit meeting adopted a resolu- tion stating that it “reaffirms. , , its active and total support for the Arab Republic of Egypt in its legitimate struggle to recover entirely and by all means its territorial integrity” /see S/10943 of 7Jurie 19731. It once again called for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of the Israeli armed forces from all occupied African and Arab territories, 121. The Summit Conference of the Non-Aligned Coun- tries which met at Georgetown in August 1972 rejected the principle of territorial acquisition by the use of force and called for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from all the occupied Arab territories. 122. African, Asian and Latin American voices-those of the third world-requested Israel to heed the voice of reason and called on that country to liberate all the territories occupied by force. 123. In the circumstances, how can we fail to take up the problem of the Palestinian refugees? I am convinced that most of the members of the Council will be of my opinion when I say that settling the conflict in the Middle East depends first of al1 on a settlement being found by the world Organization for the tragedy of the Palestinian people. 124. The origin of this situation lies in the injustice inflicted by the United Nations on that innocent people whose fate has been a constant source of concern to the international community. Many resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council have recognized the right of that people to recover their national heritage. I recall in that connexion the following resolutions: 2535 E (XXIV) of 10 December 1969, 2649 (XXV) of 30 Novem- ber and 2672 C (XXV) of 8 December 1970,2799 (XXVI) of 13 December 1971 and 2949 (XXVII) of 8 December
