The
Permanent Secretariat of AAPSO received the colleague President Ali
Nasser, President of the Arab Center of Strategic Studies, after an
invitation addressed to his Excellency by the Permanent Secretariat.
The Secretariat held a meeting where
there was a debate with his Excellency about the current
international situations characterized by violence and regression to
the obsolete imperialistic methods without taking into consideration
any of the achievements realized by mankind during the last
half-century, concerning the values and morals of the international
dealing, and how to talk about the international legitimacy, the
self-determination right and human rights has become a talk that
covers the violation of all these great international principals and
standards.
There has also been a discussion about
the importance of the role of the NGOs, and the role that has been
played by AAPSO and is still being, and how the importance of this
role is multiplying where the South is more and more marginalized,
and the hegemony of the unipole is increasing everyday and affecting
peoples' destinies, and how necessary it is to achieve a sort of
coordination among these organizations by all means and on all
ranges, nationally, regionally and internationally.
The debate concentrated on the current
bloody actions in Palestine, and the Zionist brutality and barbarism
that face an unarmed people with all criminal means of killing and
violence. The meeting saluted the courageous Palestinian "Intifada"
which is a live announcement of the Palestinian people's pride, a
refusal of giving up any of its inalienable rights, and an evidence
of the Zionist colonizer's horrors and Nazi bloody nature which are
considered a menace to peace and stability in the region.
The meeting took up the question of
the patriotic rising all over the Arab world, and how it unveiled a
true refusal of the Zionist role in the region and of the Israeli
occupation of the Palestinian and Arab territories, and the
nonnegotiable sticking to all the sacred things violated by the
Israeli occupation.
Israel is not doing this without a
real American support that became evident in the security council
situation in a serious attempt to stop the issuing of a resolution
to condemn Israel and to form an international investigation
committee.
The Security Council has made a
decision, and has to go forward to implement it. The meeting saluted
as well President Mubarak's initiative of calling for an Arab
Summit, and the importance of making the Palestinian cause the axial
cause of this Summit, as we are now on the 13th day of the massacre
and the Palestinian "Intifada". The number of martyrs reached 118,
and the injuries more than 3000 Palestinians, while Israel still
insistes on setting fire to the situation and widening its range on
the Palestinian, Syrian and Lebanese territories, and the Zionist
settlers have entered, as well, under the protection of the Israeli
forces, as a part of the battle.
Israel has to immediately stop the
massacre, unless, it has to bear the responsibilities, consequences
and Arab reaction of its actions.
It is important to support the
Palestinian "Intifada" by all political, moral, and material means,
to stand firmly by the Palestinian People's side, and to denounce
clearly the Israeli-American plans to force the Palestinian people
to surrender and to give up all the sacred things and East Jerusalem
to the Zionist domination. It is necessary to refer the Palestinian
cause and the occupied territories causes to the International
legitimacy and to the United Nations, and not let the Israeli-
American axis resolve it to its advantage, on the expense of the
International resolutions.
It is indispensable to form an
international investigation committee to start immediately the
investigation of the Israeli crimes and violations.
The meeting ended with the issuing of
a common report reflecting the positions of the center and the
organization from the current events.
It ended, as well as, with showing the
importance of coordination and working on finding diverse ways of
common work, and signing a protocol guaranteeing this, and preparing
for a common debate in the beginning of the year 2001.
