MIFTAH--Fourth Committee Accepts Request to Postpone Action on Draft Resolutions Relating to Palestine Refugee Agency, Israeli Practices in Occupied Arab Territories The Assembly would also note with regret that the United Nations Conciliation Commission for Palestine has been unable to find a means of achieving progress in implementing that same resolution, and would request the Commission to exert continued efforts in that regard.
