	UN Security Council Resolution 242 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The resolution is the formula proposed by the Security Council for the successful resolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict, in particular, ending the state of belligerency then existing between Egypt, Jordan and Syria versus Israel.
		The resolution's most important feature is the "land for peace" formula, calling for Israeli withdrawal from territories it had occupied in 1967 in exchange for peace with its neighbors.
		The UN resolution, however, did serve as a basis for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations (Palestinians being represented by the PLO) that led to the Oslo Accords.

	UN Resolution 242: Usefully Ambiguous (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		After Resolution 242 was adopted in 1967, the Arab states and the Palestinians made repeated attempts to incorporate into it a recognition of the Palestinians' right to self-determination.
		In addition, Likud officials argued vehemently, Resolution 242 did not call for the withdrawal from "the territories," but only from "territories." Prime Minister Rabin's interpretation is closer to that of the US, which left the extent of the territorial withdrawal to be decided in the negotiations as long as the withdrawal is on all fronts.
		Resolution 242 was intended to achieve a "just and lasting peace in which every state in the area can live securely." Israel insists that the authors of 242 envisioned a solution to the Palestinian problem among the existing states, with territorial adjustments.

		Resolution 242 called for the "withdrawal of Israel's armed forces from territories occupied in the recent conflict".
		He interprets 242 in the context of its preamble that emphasises the "inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war".

	The Full Story of Resolution 242 - How the US Sold Out the Palestinians
		But Kissinger quickly learned that this central tenet of UN Security Council Resolution 242, which calls for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from territories occupied during the 1967 war in return for an Arab pledge of full peace and recognition, was deadly serious.
		The resolution had been adopted more than a year before Kissinger arrived on the scene, but he played a key role in setting it, and the land-for-peace doctrine that is its centerpiece, into concrete as the basis for U.S. policy on the Arab-Israeli conflict.
		Neither man bothered to mention that the resolution is premised on the "inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war", which removes any justification for Israel's retention of the captured territories.

	Security Council Resolution 242 By Professor Dr. Ahmad Tell
		According to Israel’s interpretation, the provision in resolution 242 for Israel’s withdrawal from territories occupied in the recent conflict does not mean what it says and does not require withdrawal from all occupied territories.
		The resolution meant recognition of Israel’s sovereignty over the territory of Palestine which it occupied in 1948 and 1949 in excess of the area of the Jewish State as defined by the UN in 1947.
		The Resolution 242 purported to ratify Israel’s conquests of Palestinian in excess of the partition resolution of 1947.

	The Meaning of Resolution 242
		On November 22, 1967, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 242, establishing the principles that were to guide the negotiations for an Arab-Israeli peace settlement.
		The ultimate goal of 242, as expressed in paragraph 3, is the achievement of a "peaceful and accepted settlement." This means a negotiated agreement based on the resolution's principles rather than one imposed upon the parties.
		It took nearly a quarter century, but the PLO finally agreed that Resolutions 242 and 338 should be the basis for negotiations with Israel when it signed the Declaration of Principles in September 1993.

	United Nations Security Council Resolution 242
		The Resolution was carefully worded to require that Israel withdraw from "territories" rather than "the territories." This construction, leaving out "the," was intentional, because it was not envisioned that Israel would withdraw from all the territories, thereby returning to the vulnerable pre-war borders.
		Resolution 242, which as undersecretary of state for political affairs between 1966 and 1969 I helped produce, calls on the parties to make peace and allows Israel to administer the territories it occupied in 1967 until "a just and lasting peace in the Middle East" is achieved.
		There is a dispute between the British-American understanding of the wording of the resolution and the French understanding of the wording, but in the United Nations the binding version of any resolution is the version that is submitted to the voting body.

	THE GOLAN HEIGHTS AND THE FACTS - UN SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 242 - A WITHDRAWAL TO THE 1949/1967 LINES?
		Resolution 242 specifically calls for termination of all claims or states of belligerency and respect for and acknowledgment of the sovereignty of every State in the area.
		The Resolution also specifically endorses free passage through international waterways...The efforts of the Arab States, strongly supported by the USSR, for a condemnation of Israel as the aggressor and for its withdrawal to the June 5, 1967 lines, failed to command the requisite support..." (Columbia Journal of International Law, Vol 12 no 2, 1973).
		***242 calls for the introduction of a NEW reality of 'secure and recognized borders', which indicates that the OLD reality of the 1949/1967 Lines is neither secure nor recognized.

		Resolution 242, adopted after the Six-Day War in 1967, sets out criteria for peace-making by the parties; Resolution 338, passed after the Yom Kippur War in 1973, makes resolution 242 legally binding and orders the parties to carry out its terms forthwith.
		It is common even for American journalists to write that Resolution 242 is "deliberately ambiguous," as though the parties are equally free to rely on their own reading of its key provisions.
		Resolution 242 leaves the issue of dividing the occupied areas between Israel and its neighbors entirely to the agreement of the parties in accordance with the principles it sets out.

		Whenever negotiations are in the offing, all of the parties hasten to reaffirm their support for Resolution 242, to insist that the resolution provides the road map to peace, and to imply that the other side is the one that will not abide by the requirements of 242.
		One of the shortcomings of Resolution 242 was that it implied the need for a negotiated settlement, and suggested an endpoint for the negotiations, but it didn't establish a mechanism or a forum for negotiations.
		Palestinians acknowledge that nothing in the language of Resolution 242 suggests the creation of a Palestinian state, but contend that the resolution requires Israel to withdraw from all of the territory it occupied in 1967, which would lead to the creation of a Palestinian state.

		The Boston Globe also referred erroneously to 242, reporting (July 13) that the resolution "calls for Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank." To the newspaper's credit, an admirably straightforward clarification was issued one day later.
		The resolution, which formalizes the principles of land-for-peace in the Israeli-Arab conflict, is ambiguous on the amount of occupied territory from which Israel should withdraw."

	(Re)visiting UN Security Council Resolution 242 :: (Countering the Israeli interpretation) :: (by Baha Abushaqra) - ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		No other resolution is ‘officially accepted’ by all contending parties (it was adopted unanimously at the council’s 1382nd meeting) and yet so contested for the interpretation of its provisions --each party seems to have a different understanding of what it stipulates.
		In conclusion, the resolution is neither ambiguous nor pro-Palestinian/pro-Arab/anti-Israeli when seen in its proper context: the resolution was issued in response to what was a dire post-war situation and hence it demanded a halt to hostilities in order to achieve just peace.
		Yet, if resolution 242 were taken as the ultimate working formula for resolving the Middle East conflict, it would be grossly 'unjust' to the Palestinians, for it means that Palestinians would be compelled to forgo some 78% of their historical homeland.

		Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338 rule that the Arab states and Israel must make peace, and that when "a just and lasting peace" is reached in the Middle East, Israel should withdraw from some but not all of the territory it occupied in the course of the 1967 war.

	From "Occupied Territories" to "Disputed Territories," by Dore Gold
		During August 2001, a Palestinian draft resolution at the UN Security Council repeated the commonly used Palestinian reference to the West Bank and Gaza Strip as "occupied Palestinian territories." References to Israel's "foreign occupation" also appeared in the Durban Draft Declaration of the UN World Conference Against Racism.
		Taken together with UN Security Council Resolution 338, it became clear that only negotiations would determine which portion of these territories would eventually become "Israeli territories" or territories to be retained by Israel's Arab counterpart.
		Describing the territories as "Palestinian" may serve the political agenda of one side in the dispute, but it prejudges the outcome of future territorial negotiations that were envisioned under UN Security Council Resolution 242.
