AHG/Res. 122 (XX)
RESOLUTION ON THE SITUATION IN THE
MIDDLE EAST
The Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African
Unity, meeting in its Twentieth Ordinary Session in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, from 12 –
15 November, 1984,
Having considered the report of the Secretary-General a.i. of the Organization of
African Unity on the Middle East (Document AHG/124 (XX),
Guided by the principles and objectives of the Charters of the Organization of
African Unity and of the United Nations and by the common determination of the
African and Arab Peoples to strive to safeguard their freedom,
Recalling the successive resolution adopted by previous sessions of the Assembly
of Heads of State and Government of the OAU on the situation in the Middle East,
Recalling further the previous recommendations and decisions of the United
Nations General Assembly, the Security Council and the Conference of Non-Aligned
Countries on the situation in the Middle East,
Gravely concerned about the plight of the people of Southern Lebanon following
the illegal occupation of this part of the Lebanese territory by the Zionist regime of
Israel and about the arrogance shown by the Zionist regime with respect to the
decisions and resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly and of the Security
Council as well as the said regime’s failure to adhere to the fundamental principles of
International Law and Universal Declaration on Human Rights,
Noting with deep concern that in spite of the many resolutions adopted by the
Untied Nations General Assembly, the Security Council and the organization of African
Unity urging Israel to withdraw from Arab territories occupied since 1967, including
Jerusalem, not only has Israel persistently refused to comply with these resolutions but
continues to pursue its policy of expansionism and occupation,
