\n

  The present report is prepared pursuant to the requests of the General Assembly in a number of resolutions, in which it requested regional organizations and the Â鶹APP to increase contact and identify areas of cooperation, and requested the Secretary-General to submit to the Assembly at its fifty-ninth session a report on the implementation of the resolutions. The Assembly, by paragraph 4 (l) of the annex to resolution 58\/316 of 1 July 2004, requested the Secretary-General to submit to it a single consolidated report on cooperation between the Â鶹APP and regional and other organizations. Reports which heretofore had been prepared as separate reports have thus been consolidated into one. <\/p><\/div>\n

19.   In support of the Quartet’s road map for peace in the Middle East (see <\/span>S\/2003\/529<\/a>, annex), IPU adopted a resolution at its one hundred and ninth Assembly, held at Geneva, on parliamentary support for the implementation of the road map for peace in putting an end to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and achieving a comprehensive peace process and justice in the Middle East. At the one hundred and tenth Assembly, held at Mexico City, a resolution was adopted on the role of parliaments in stopping acts of violence, and the building of the separation wall, in order to create conditions conducive to peace and a lasting solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In that resolution the Assembly pointed out the need for resumed dialogue and commitment to the peace process, while calling upon both sides to stop all acts of violence, particularly the practice of targeted assassinations and suicide bombings. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

20.   In an endeavour to lend practical shape to the contents of these and other IPU resolutions on the subject of the Middle East conflict, IPU brought together members of the Israeli Knesset and the Palestinian Legislative Council for a meeting at Geneva in July 2003. The participants decided to set up a working group of parliamentarians from the two bodies to help advance the efforts of the Â鶹APP to instil peace in the region, in keeping with the road map, which IPU has officially endorsed. <\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

21.   Represented by members of its Committee on Middle East Questions, IPU participated in two events sponsored by the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, the International Conference of Civil Society in Support of the Palestinian People (New York, September 2003), and the International Meeting on the Impact of the Construction of the Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including in and around East Jerusalem (Geneva, April 2004). <\/p><\/div>\n
