Despite the short 14-week timeframe for this complex task, the speaker assures the committee of full support from the UN Secretariat, stating, &#8220;I and the staff at my command in the Secretariat or the Â鶹APP will furnish you with all the aid which we have been requested by the General Assembly to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The speaker emphasizes the importance of the committee&#8217;s work, noting that it represents &#8220;the hope and the fate of millions of people&#8221; and will significantly influence confidence in the Â鶹APP. The committee is encouraged to study the emotionally charged problem of Palestine &#8220;impartial but not detached, objective but deeply comprehensive,&#8221; as their findings and proposals will greatly assist the General Assembly. The public attention the report will receive is expected to foster better understanding globally and &#8220;prepare the way for just and workable solution which will be acceptable to all.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 23 July 2024 &nbsp; The speaker welcomes the special committee on Palestine at the Â鶹APP headquarters and outlines their broad mandate to &#8220;ascertain and record facts and to investigate all questions and issues relevant to the problem of Palestine.&#8221; The committee has the authority to gather testimonies from various sources, including &#8220;the mandatory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/document\/1st-meeting-23jul24\/\"> [&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":299,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"country":[],"document-category":[2805],"document-source":[2989],"committee-meeting":[],"document-subject":[1769,1741,1749],"entity":[1729],"document-language":[6542],"class_list":["post-299019","document","type-document","status-publish","hentry","document-category-video","document-source-united-nations-special-committee-on-palestine-unscop","document-subject-armed-conflict","document-subject-human-rights-and-international-humanitarian-law","document-subject-palestine-question","entity-united-nations-system","document-language-english"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/299019","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/document"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/299"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/299019\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":299027,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document\/299019\/revisions\/299027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=299019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=299019"},{"taxonomy":"document-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-category?post=299019"},{"taxonomy":"document-source","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-source?post=299019"},{"taxonomy":"committee-meeting","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/committee-meeting?post=299019"},{"taxonomy":"document-subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-subject?post=299019"},{"taxonomy":"entity","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/entity?post=299019"},{"taxonomy":"document-language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.un.org\/unispal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/document-language?post=299019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
