Jordanian-Palestinian Accord

Feb. 23, 1985

Bid for Action:

Emanating from the spirit of the Fez Summit resolutions, approved by Arab

states, and from United Nations resolutions relating to the Palestine

Question,

In accordance with international legitimacy, and

Deriving from a common understanding on the establishment of a special

relationship between the Jordanian and Palestinian peoples,

The Government of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Palestine

Liberation Organization have agreed to move together towards the achievement of

a peaceful and just settlement of the Middle East crisis and the termination of

Israeli occupation of the occupied Arab territories, including Jerusalem, on

the basis of the following principles:

1. Total withdrawal from the territories occupied in 1967 for

comprehensive peace as established in United Nations and Security Council

resolutions.

2. Right of self-determination for the Palestinian people; Palestinians

will exercise their inalienable right of self-determination when Jordanians and

Palestinians will be able to do so within the context of the formation of the

proposed confederated Arab states of Jordan and Palestine.

3. Resolution of the problem of Palestinian refugees in accordance with

United Nations resolutions.

4. Resolution of the Palestine Question in all aspects.

5. And on this basis, peace negotiations will be conducted under the

auspices of an International Conference in which the five permanent members of

the Security Council and all the parties to the conflict will participate,

including the Palestine Liberation organization, the sole legitimate

representative of the Palestinian people, within a joint delegation (joint

Jordanian-Palestinian delegation).
