Alwaght- The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) urged on Nakba Day the UN to execute the resolution 194 permitting Palestinian refugees to return home and live at peace
Stressing the right of Palestinian to come back to their homes according to General Assembly Resolution 194, PLO issued a statement on Saturday emphasizing that Palestinian right to return homeland is non-negotiable and should be considered by United Nation.
United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194 was adopted on December 11, 1948, near the end of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The Resolution defined principles for reaching a final settlement and returning Palestine refugees to their homes. It resolved that “refugees wishing to return to their homes and live at peace with their neighbors should be permitted to do so at the earliest practicable date, and that compensation should be paid for the property of those choosing not to return and for loss of or damage to property which, under principles of international law or equity, should be made good by the Governments or authorities responsible.”
PLO's legislative body, the Palestinian National Council (PNC) also in the statement censured the crimes and atrocities perpetrated by the Tel Aviv regime against Palestinians, making reference to the extra-judicial killings and torture of Palestinian prisoners as Israel’s consistent hegemonic policy, according to Press TV.
Nakba Day meaning day of the catastrophe is on May 15 that Palestinians all over the world hold demonstrations to commemorate the 1948 Israeli war on Palestinians, when more than 750,000 Palestinians were driven out of their homes and hundreds of Palestinian towns and villages were depopulated and destroyed.
On Saturday, hundreds of Palestinians staged a “March of Return” in the northern Israeli port city of Haifa to the site of a Palestinian village, which Israeli military forces razed in 1948.
Since 1948, the Israeli regime has denied Palestinian refugees the right to return, despite United Nations resolutions and international law that uphold people’s right to return to their homelands.
