The Committee reiterated its call for proper international access to Palestinian detainees and prisoners and the inspection of their conditions, stressing that Israel, the occupying power, must be held fully accountable for their well-being, including those on hunger strike. The Committee reaffirmed its continued support for the cause of Palestinian detainees and prisoners "International Campaign for the Freedom of Marwan Barghouti and all the Palestinian Prisoners". It also stressed the centrality of the cause of Palestine and Al-Quds Al Sharif for the OIC as the pivotal issue in whose defense the Member States are unanimously agreed and around which their stand is united in all international fora. The Committee expressed its deep concern over the recurrent negative voting of certain Member States on resolutions pertaining to the inalienable rights of the Palestinian People or to the defense of the cause of Al-Quds fully in harmony with the resolutions of the OIC summit and ministerial conferences, the latest such instance being the one involving a Member State recently voting against the resolution presented to the 201st session of the UNESCO under the heading of "Occupied Palestine" in defense of the City of Al-Quds against the Israeli violations, as well as the abstention of certain Member States and the absence of others, thus denying the resolution their support, in addition to the failure of one member of state to lend its support to the resolutions relevant to the Palestinian people's human rights, including their right to self-determination, at the 34th session of the Human Rights Commission, which could thus encourage Israel, the occupant force, to persist in its violation of the Palestinian people's rights. The Committee reaffirmed the need for all Member States to abide by the resolutions issued by the OIC summit and ministerial conferences which, among other things, call for voting in favor of the resolutions of the Palestine State in international fora, particularly against the background of Israel, the occupation force, persisting in its illegitimate practices and violations against international law and the resolutions of international legitimacy, including through the construction of colonialist settlements, the robbing of Palestinian land and the judeization of Al-Quds. The Committee requested the General Secretariat to take the necessary steps, to ensure support for the OIC-backed resolutions regarding the cause of Palestine. --SPA 19:20 LOCAL TIME 16:20 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w407568
