Negroponte Doctrine




Here is a widely-reported summary of Negroponte's statement (an official transcript of these closed-session remarks does not appear to have been released):

:For any resolution to go forward, the United States — which has a Veto in the 15-nation council — would want it to have the following four elements:

:- An explicit condemnation of terrorism;

:- A condemnation by name of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade , the Islamic Jihad and Hamas groups, groups that have claimed responsibility for suicide attacks on Israel;

:- An appeal to all parties for a political settlement of the crisis;

:- A demand for improvement of the security situation as a condition for any call for a withdrawal of Israeli armed forces to positions they held before the September 2000 start of a Palestinian Uprising in which 1,467 Palestinians and 564 Israelis have died.
