CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Commending the member states of the United Nations Western European and
Others Group for addressing over four decades of injustice and
extending temporary membership in that regional bloc to the state of
Israel.
Whereas Israel has played an active role in the international community and
within the United Nations;
Whereas in order to be a fully participating member of the United Nations
countries must serve in a regional group;
Whereas members of regional groups select member states on a rotating basis to
serve on important United Nations bodies such as the Security Council
and the Economic and Social Council;
Whereas Israel has been denied an opportunity to serve in the Asian States Group
at the United Nations, even though it geographically belongs in that
bloc;
Whereas the Western European And Others Group (WEOG) at the United Nations
consists of Western European nations, the United States, Canada, New
Zealand, Turkey, and Australia and is the only group at the United
Nations that is not geographically based;
Whereas Israel was offered membership in the WEOG regional bloc at the United
Nations on Friday, May 26, 2000, by the chairman of WEOG at the time,
Ambassador Peter van Walsum of the Netherlands;
Whereas that offer was officially accepted by Israeli officials on Sunday, May
28, 2000; and
Whereas Israel is a democracy and an ally and friend to the United States: Now,
therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring),
That the Congress--
(1) commends the Western European and Others Group (WEOG)
members for extending temporary membership to Israel;
(2) congratulates Israel on its new-found role in the
United Nations;
(3) reaffirms Israel's right to be a full participating
member and equal partner in the United Nations; and
(4) urges the members of WEOG to extend full and permanent
membership to Israel, without conditions, until such time as
Israel can serve as an effective member of the Asian States
Group.
