the adoption of its resolution 181 (II) of 29 November 1947 and forty-three years since the occupation of the Palestinian territory, including East Jerusalem, in 1967, <\/p><\/div>\n <\/span>Having considered<\/i><\/span> the report of the Secretary-General submitted pursuant to the request made in its resolution 64\/19 of 2 December 2009,<\/span> <\/span>1<\/sup><\/a> <\/sup><\/span> <\/span> <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n Reaffirming<\/i> the permanent responsibility of the United Nations with regard to the question of Palestine until the question is resolved in all its aspects in accordance with international law and relevant resolutions, <\/p><\/div>\n <\/span>Recalling<\/i><\/span> the advisory opinion rendered on 9 July 2004 by the International Court of Justice on the <\/span>Legal

measures aimed at altering the character, status and demographic composition of the city and of the Territory as a whole, <\/p><\/div>\n Reaffirming also<\/i> that the construction by Israel, the occupying Power, of a wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem, and its associated regime are contrary to international law, <\/p><\/div>\n Expressing deep concern<\/i> about the continuing Israeli policy of closures and severe restrictions on the movement of persons and goods, including medical and humanitarian, via the imposition of prolonged closures and severe economic and movement restrictions that in effect amount to a blockade, as well as of checkpoints and a permit regime throughout the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and the consequent negative impact on the socio-economic situation of the Palestinian people, which remains that of a humanitarian crisis, and on the efforts aimed at rehabilitating and developing the damaged Palestinian economy and on the contiguity of the Territory, while taking note of recent developments regarding the situation of access to the Gaza Strip, <\/p><\/div>\n <\/span>Recalling<\/i><\/span> the mutual recognition between the Government of the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, the representative of the Palestinian people,<\/span> <\/span>3<\/sup><\/a> <\/sup><\/span>and the need for full compliance with the agreements concluded between the two sides, <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n Recalling also<\/i><\/span> the endorsement by the Security Council, in resolution 1515 (2003), of the Quartet road map to a permanent two-State solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict<\/span>4<\/sup><\/a> <\/sup><\/span>and the call in Council
