The Security Council,
Recalling its resolutions 476

Reaffirming that a just and lasting solution to the Arab-Israeli
conflict must be based on its resolutions 242

(1973) through an active negotiating process which takes into account the
right to security for all States in the region, including Israel, as well as
the legitimate political rights of the Palestinian people,
Taking into consideration the statement of the Secretary-General
relative to the purpose of the mission he is sending to the region and conveyed
to the Council by the President on 12 October 1990,

Al Haram al Shareef and
other Holy Places of Jerusalem resulting in over twenty Palestinian deaths and
to the injury of more than one hundred and fifty people, including Palestinian
civilians and innocent worshippers;
2. Condemns especially the acts of violence
committed by the Israeli security forces resulting in injuries and loss of
human life;
3. Calls upon Israel, the occupying Power, to
abide scrupulously by its legal obligations and responsibilities under the

by Israel since 1967;
4. Requests, in connection with the decision of
the Secretary-General to send a mission to the region, which the Council
welcomes, that he submit a report to it before the end of October 1990

resources of the United Nations in the region in carrying out the mission.
Adopted unanimously.
