Sub: Your Report:
Palestinian Refugees and the Politics of Peacemaking, 5
February 2004
We, the Palestinian refugees signing below, noted that
in your above report you advocate our settlement
anywhere in the world except our homes.
An
organization of your stature should know that this
recommendation is in violation of international law.
This recommendation condones ethnic cleansing of
Palestinians, which is Israel’s policy since 1948, and
is a war crime. It also violates the sanctity of
private ownership by legalizing Israel’s robbery of
Palestinian property.
We
reject this recommendation and ask you to adhere to
international law and UN resolutions, particularly
Resolution 194, affirming our Right of Return to our
homes. This is the only way to a just peace.
