pressed respect and appreciation of the masses’ continuous
steadfastness in the face of the Israeli enemy, and hailed the
continuous mass uprisings and the steadfastness of our heros in
the occupation authorities’ prisons.
The Central Council called for drawing up practical plans to
consolidate our masses’ steadfastness, the unity of their
organizations and institutions, and the interaction between (the
struggle) inside and outside the occupied land. The council
highly evaluated the formation of the National Work Com-
mittee for the Occupied Land.
2. PALESTINIAN CAMPS IN LEBANON
The Central Committee reviewed the painful, inhuman
reality suffered by the Palestinian camps while confronting
aggression and the siege that has been imposed for three years.
The council called upon Arab and international bodies to focus
their efforts on putting an end to the aggression and lifting the
siege immediately, so that our people can maintain their
homes, hospitals and schools, and have a free, respectable life.
The Central Council focused on the September 11th agree-
ment signed in Sidon (between the Palestinians and the
Lebanese Front for Unity and Liberation). The council recon-
firmed the necessity of implementing this agreement according
to the adopted text. The council considers this agreement as a
new basis for Lebanese-Palestinian relations and the beginning
of a new stage of brotherhood and love, and directing all ef-
forts and guns against the Zionist occupation in South
Lebanon.
The Central Council holds in high esteem the Executive
Committee’s decision to form the Palestinian National Work
Leadership in Lebanon, including all the Palestinian forces and
organizations, and the Military Work leadership. The council
considered these two bodies as a living manifestation of the
strength of Palestinian national unity that was crystallized in
the 18th PNC session.
3. THE POLITICAL SITUATION
A. THE EXTRAORDINARY ARAB SUMMIT
IN AMMAN
The Central Council welcomed the Arab foreign ministers’
decision to convene an Arab summit in Amman in November,
as an expression of urgent national necessity. This is especially
true since our nation is suffering from division and secondary
conflicts at a time when imperialist-Zionist aggression is
escalating in order to attack the steadfast positions in our na-
tion, one by one.
The Central Council confirmed that the restoration of Arab
solidarity is one of the priorities of national action. The council
also confirmed that the present deterioration in the Arab
situation necessitates the restabilization of the nationalist
stands that have been expressed in the consecutive Arab sum-
mits concerning the Palestinian question. These stands ex-
pressed firm national commitment to the Palestinian people,
their organization (the PLO) and their inalienable national
rights - the right to return, self-determination and the
establishment of an independent state. The council called upon
the Executive Committee to concentrate its efforts on achiev-
ing such restabilization.
B. IRAQ—IRAN WAR
The Central Council has been following with concern the
dangerous deterioration in the Gulf region, due to the continu-
ing Iraq-Iran war and the amassing of the US fleet. The council
called on Iran to stop the war immediately and abide by
Security Council resolution 598. The council called on Iraq to
declare its willingness to resolve differences by peaceful means,
in order for peace and amity to prevail, especially after Iraq
has declared its acceptance of all peace initiatives, including the
international resolution (598). The council believes that the
continuation of this war only benefits the colonialist, im-
perialist and Zionist forces, while causing extreme harm to the
Palestinian cause.
C. INTERNATIONAL PEACE CONFERENCE
The Central Council studied the initiatives, recommenda-
tions and international resolutions concerning an international
peace conference on the Middle East. The council called on the
Executive Committee to concentrate its efforts and contacts
for the holding of a fully empowered conference as advocated
by the UN, the non-aligned summit, the African summit, the
Arab summit, the socialist countries, the EEC and all friendly
countries.
The Central Council confirmed the necessity of unified Arab
work to support the formula of an active international con-
ference under UN auspices with the participation of the per-
manent members of the Security Council and all parties in-
volved in the conflict, including the PLO, on an equal footing,
in order to fulfill the inalienable national rights of the Palesti-
nian people - the right to return, self-determination and the
establishment of an independent state on their national soil
with Jerusalem as its capital.
The Central Council rejected the Israeli and US attempts to
devoid the international conference of its essence, transform-
ing it into an umbrella for bilateral deals.
4. THE PLO’S ARAB AND INTERNATIONAL
RELATIONS
The Central Council reviewed the Executive Committee’s
sincere efforts to implement the PNC resolutions on con-
solidating the PLO’s relations with fraternal Arab countries.
The council holds in high esteem these efforts to achieve Arab
solidarity directed against imperialism and Zionism.
The Central Council condemned the US’s continuous hostile
positions against the PLO, the most recent of which was the
closure of the PLO Information Office in Washington D.C.
The council considered this to be only one of a-chain of failed
attempts to obscure the truth from the American public.
The Central Council saluted the principled positions of the
friendly socialist countries, the non-aligned countries, the
Islamic and African countries, and all liberation movements in
Asia, Africa and Latin America. The council sent congratula-
tions and greetings to the Soviet Union on the occasion of the
70th anniversary of the great October Revolution. At the end
of the session, the Central Council sent greetings to the presi-
dent, government and people of Tunisia, thanking them for
their hospitality.
