The Security Council,
Recalling its resolutions 476 (1980) and 478 (1980),
Reaffirming that a just and lasting solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict must
be based on its resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973) through an active
negotiating process which takes into account the right to security for all
States in the region, including Israel, as well as the legitimate political
rights of the Palestinian people,
Taking into consideration the statement of the Secretary-General relative to the
purpose of the mission he is sending to the region and conveyed to the Council
by the President on 12 October 1990,

al Shareef and other Holy Places of Jerusalem resulting in over twenty
Palestinian deaths and to the injury of more than one hundred and fifty people,
including Palestinian civilians and innocent worshippers;
2. Condemns especially the acts of violence committed by the Israeli security
forces resulting in injuries and loss of human life;

obligations and responsibilities under the Fourth Geneva Convention, which is
applicable to all the territories occupied by Israel since 1967;
4. Requests, in connection with the decision of the Secretary-General to send a
mission to the region, which the Council welcomes, that he submit a report to it

carrying out the mission.
