UN urge Israel to stop security wall


10:46:35 Þ.Ù
United Nations, Oct 22 - The UN General Assembly called late Tuesday in a resolution on Israel to "stop and reverse" construction of a wall in the West Bank.

The resolution that states that the project contradicts international law passed by a vote of 144-4, with 12 countries abstaining.

It said UN member-states were particularly concerned that the route chosen by Israel for the wall "could prejudge future negotiations and make the two-state solution physically impossible to implement and would cause further humanitarian hardship for the Palestinians."

The document calls on both Israel and the Palestinians to fulfill their obligations under the roadmap, a US - and European-sponsored three-stage peace plan that provides for creating a Palestinian state by 2005.

Israel is called upon not to take any action "undermining trust, including deportations and attacks on civilians and extra-judicial killings."

Voting against the resolution were Israel, the United States, Micronesia and the Marshall islands.
