The Security Council,
Having considered the report by the Secretary-General under Security Council
resolution 468 (1980) of 13 May 1980 (S/13938),
Recalling the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and in particular article 1,
which reads "The High Contracting Parties undertake to respect and to ensure
respect for the present Convention in all circumstances," and article 49, which
reads "Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of
protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the occupying
Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited,
regardless of their motive;"
1. Strongly deplores the failure of the Government of Israel to implement
Security Council resolution 468 (1980) of 8 May 1980;
2. Calls again upon the Government of Israel, as occupying Power, to rescind the
illegal measures taken by the Israeli military occupation authorities in
expelling the Mayors of Hebron and Halhoul and the Sharia Judge of Hebron, and
to facilitate the immediate return of the expelled Palestinian leaders, so that
they can resume their functions for which they were elected and appointed;
3. Commends the Secretary-General for his efforts and requests him to continue
his efforts in order to ensure the immediate implementation of this resolution
and to report to the Security Council on the result of his efforts at the
earliest possible date. |
