Historical Security Council,
Bearing in mind the fact that
Egypt, in 1875, sold it parts in the
Suez Canal to the United Kingdom for £4 000 000,
Recalling the Constantinople
convention signed on the 29th of October 1888 which affirms that the
Suez Maritime Canal shall always be free and open, in time of war as in time of
peace, to every vessel of commerce or of war, without distinction of flag,
Deeply disturbed by the
nationalization of the Suez Canal by the President of Egypt, Gamal Abdel
Nasser, on the 26th of July 1956 which dispossessed the British,
French and Egyptian shareholders of their shares in the Suez canal,
Aware of the fact that the
nationalization of the Suez Canal by the President of Egypt, was strategic as
the Egyptian President wanted to earn
money for the building of the Aswan High Dam,
Taking into account the International
Conference which was held on the 16th of August 1956 in London with
the participation of 22 countries in order to solve the Suez crisis,
Recognizing the military
response to the nationalization of the canal by a deployment of joint Israelis,
British and French forces in order to retake the canal,
Noting further the cease fire in
the region signed in November 1956 and the intervention of the United Nations
Emergency Force in the same month in Egypt,
Alarmed by the threat of the
USSR to use nuclear response in case the Israeli, British and French forces do
not withdraw,
Having heard that on the 23rd of
November 1956, Egyptian Ministry of Religious Affairs proclaimed that all Jews were Zionist and enemies of the State, and
that Jews are now invited to
emigrate to another country, leaving all their possessions to the government of
Egypt,
Further deploring the
non-authorization of all Israeli ships to go through the Suez Canal by the
Egyptian government,
Keeping in mind all the precedent
resolutions adopted by the United Nations,
1) Regrets the
nationalization of the Suez Canal which dispossessed and ruined shareholders,
some of whom have commit suicide,
2) Deplores the killings on
both sides that took place in the Suez Canal war, the United Kingdom
recognizing its partial responsibility in the beginning of it,
3) Considers possible a
withdrawal of the British troops, but only by :
a)
signing a non-aggression
treaty between the Egyptian and the British armies, with the authorization for
a little number of British soldiers to remain on Egyptian territory,
b)
reaching the full economic potential of the UK with :
i) the removal of
all economic sanctions against the UK, including those enacted by the United
States of America,
ii) low taxes and
preferential passing costs for all British vessels which desire to go through
the Suez Canal, advantages which will be gratefully granted by the Egyptian
government,
iii) the possession
of less than 10 % of the Suez Canal, so that all major changes desired by the
Egyptian government must be accepted by the British government,
iv) an immediate
compensation delivered by the Egyptian government to all the shareholders who
lost their money because of the
nationalization of the canal,
4) Invites Egypt to respect
the Convention of Constantinople signed in 1888, which allows all countries the right to use the Suez Canal,
including the ones which are currently in conflict with Egypt,
5) Reaffirms its firmly held belief in the Universal
Declaration of the Human Rights, and, as the Article 2 and 18 say, that no one should
be persecuted because of his religion,
6) Demands the attention of
the international community become
focused on the current situation of the Jews in Egypt by :
a)
sending observers of Human Rights affiliated to the
United Nations in Egypt in order to receive a full report on the current
situation of Jews in Egypt,
b)
according persecuted minorities protection and asylum
where ever they want to go,
c)
settling down economic sanctions toward Egypt if it
continues to persecute a minority,
7) Strongly urges for the
non-proliferation of nuclear weapons by :
a)
signing an accord between all the countries which
possess the atomic weapon so that they engage themselves never use a nuclear
response in a war,
b)
discouraging all the countries which have not a
nuclear arm of having one with :
i) strong economic sanctions against any
countries which lead nuclear program to dispose a nuclear weapon,
ii) the assurance
for them that countries disposing of the nuclear weapons will not use them in any
war, and so that they will no use for them to spend a lot of money on creating
one,
c) setting up an educational
program to convince people and governments of the benefits of a non-nuclear
world,
8) Expresses its hope to never again see a country nationalizing
a service or commodity only to acquire money for other projects, and so to develop clear legal guidelines by
:
a)
creating defined and
precise laws and duties for the shareholders all around the world, which
will guarantee them the possibility to go in front of international and
national courts and tribunals in case they want to lodge a complain to a
country because it nationalized a company they had shares in,
b)
developing the International Bank for Reconstruction
and Development, so that the developing countries get the means to develop,
without nationalizing companies, with :
i) encouraging major contribution to the
IBRD by the developed countries, including the UK which engage itself to become
one of the biggest donator to this program,
ii) international
and objective advisers and experts chosen carefully by the UN to work with the
developing governments, in order to know what are the best solutions for them
to develop and to earn money, to propose countries other solutions than
nationalizations of companies,
iii) more loans
accorded to developing countries, as long as they respect international laws
and that they do not violate international accords and declarations.
