Madame President,

                   I am speaking in Explanation of Vote after the adoption of the draft resolutions A/73/L.31, L.32, L.33 and L.34. 

2                 Singapore voted in favour of A/73/L.31 (“Committee on the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People”) on the understanding that the reference in OP2 to the “achievement of the two-State solution on the basis of the pre-1967 borders” should be interpreted in the same manner as set out in OP1 of draft resolution A/73/L.32 (“Peaceful settlement of the Question of Palestine”), namely, “the two-State solution of Israel and Palestine, living side-by-side in peace and security within recognised borders, based on the pre-1967 borders.”


3                 Thank you, Madame President.
