In a draft final communique, the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), which is convening here at present, is going to urge West Asia peace efforts to be sped up.
Such efforts ought to be based on relevant UN Security Council resolutions, Madrid Conference, the land-for-peace principle and Arab peace initiative, according to the draft, a copy of which has been obtained by KUNA.
The Arab peace plan and the Quartet's roadmap should be fully and sincerely put in place, it stresses, calling for holding a planned international conference on the West Asia peace process in Moscow as soon as possible.
It condemns the Israeli occupation of, and continuing atrocities in, the occupied Palestinian territories, especially the Gaza Strip.
It denounces Israel's inhuman and illegal blockade of the Gaza Strip and its sustained attempts to change the geographic and demographic actuality of the occupied city of Eastern Jerusalem.
The group supports the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), led by Mahmoud Abbas, as the only legitimate representative of the Palestinian people.
But, it calls for returning the situation in the Gaza Strip to pre-June 2007 events when Hamas seized the enclave.
