HOSSEIN MALEKI (Iran<\/u>), speaking in explanation of position after the vote, said he had joined others in voting for the text in hopes of easing the plight of the Palestinian people, which was caused by the occupying Israeli regime. Their situation could be resolved through justice, an end to discrimination, an end to the occupation of all Palestinian territories, the return of refugees and the establishment of a democratic Palestinian State, with Al Quds Al Sharif as its capital.<\/p><\/div>\n
