Everything about Negroponte Doctrine totally explained
On
July 26 2002,
John Negroponte, the
United States Ambassador to the United Nations, stated (during a closed meeting of the
UN Security Council) that the United States will oppose Security Council resolutions that condemn
Israel without also condemning
terrorist groups. This has come to be known as the
Negroponte doctrine, and is viewed by the United States as a counterweight to the frequent resolutions denouncing Israel which are passed by the
UN General Assembly.
Here is a widely-reported summary of Negroponte's statement (an official transcript of these closed-session remarks doesn't 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:
*A strong and explicit condemnation of all terrorism and incitement to terrorism;
» *A condemnation by name of the
al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade,
Islamic Jihad and
Hamas, 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 the
al-Aqsa intifada Palestinian uprising in which 1,467 Palestinians and 564 Israelis have died.
