P F Tinmore,
et al,
Yes, but even the THE COMMITTEE ON THE EXERCISE OF THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE AND THE DIVISION FOR PALESTINIAN RIGHTS cannot point to a first affirmation.
(COMMENT)
While I think it goes back to the arguments presented by the Emir and the Grand Mufti,
Resolution 3236 (XXIX) points to no previous reference.
Second, there may be a case to argue concerning the previous existence of inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, but --- that doesn't mean that the Arab Palestinian actually had a realization of those rights. You will notice that the 2013 General Assembly Resolution makes the reference: "Having considered the report of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People." That report to the General Assembly says in part:
This, in effect, makes the same argument I made in a previous posting. Without the KSAs to implement the rights, the rights are invisible. The Arab Palestinian never actualized a right to anything. They just used it as justification for the continuation of Jihadist and Fedayeen activities directed against Israel and its allies.
I agree that, as far as documentation goes,
A/RES/3236 (XXIX) 22 November 1974 is a capstone reference. Having said that, it is no substitute for tangible evidence of attempts to actualize those objectives; and that dates back to a time before the Partition Plan. It must also be remembered that the first successful actualization of the right to self-determination was the Palestinian Declaration of Independence (
A/43/827 S/20278 18 November 1988).
If you use the
A/RES/3236 (XXIX) 22 November 1974 as the benchmark, then you are pointing back to my original answer, that the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people comes from a time influenced by the Emir and the Grand Mufti. However, if, as in modern times, you used the actualization as the benchmark, then your timeline begins
(as the Division for Palestinian Rights notes) in 1983 for realization and 1988 for actualization.
You are free to make your own evaluation. But it is relatively clear to me that the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people are, yet once again, in danger of being lost; just as they were from 1948-to-1967 during the forfeiture to the Arab League.
Just My Thought,
