Reaffirms the inalienable, permanent and unqualified right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, including their right to live in freedom, justice and dignity and the right to their independent State of Palestine; 2. Also reaffirms its support for the solution of two States, Palestine and Israel, living side by side in peace and security; 3. Notes that the fragmentation of the Occupied Palestinian Territory undermines the possibility of the Palestinian people realizing their right to selfdetermination and is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, and stresses in this regard the need for respect for and the preservation of the territorial unity, contiguity and integrity of all of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem; 4. Confirms that the right of the Palestinian people to permanent sovereignty over their natural wealth and resources must be used in the interest of their national development, the well-being of the Palestinian people and as part of the realization of their right to self-determination; 5.
