UN SHOULD ENFORCE RESOLUTIONS TO END ISRAEL-HAMAS WAR – JEFFREY SACHS
December 7, 2023On November 20, 2023, The UN Security Council held an open debate on “Promote sustaining peace through common development” under the agenda item “Maintenance of international peace and security.”
Sustainable Development Solutions Network President, Jeffrey Sachs, a respected American economist, academic, public policy analyst, and former director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University, was invited to address the Security Council and used his time to brief them on how to solve the Israel-Palestine conflict.
He stated that the UN should begin by enforcing UN Resolutions 242, 338, 1397, 1515, & 2334 which called among other things the return to 1967 borders, an end to Israel’s settlements in the Occupied Territories and the Two-State Solution.
With so many wise and respected minds continuing to guide international leaders on what we all know is fair and just, why is there still so much hesitancy? One can only assume there is no REAL political or economic will at the highest level of government amongst this group of powers to want to do the right thing and fulfil their responsibilities as stated under the UN Charter.

JEFFREY SACHS: Consider, in a similar way, the war in Israel and Palestine. Here, too. The war could be ended quickly by the Council enforcing the many U.N. Security Council resolutions made over several decades calling for a return to the 1967 borders, an end of Israel’s settlement activities in the occupied territories, and the two state solution, including in U.N. Security Council resolutions 242 338 1397, 1515 and 2334.
It is clear that Israel and Palestine are unable to reach agreements in line with these U.N. Security Council resolutions on both sides. Hard liners repeatedly frustrate moderates, moderates who seek peace based on the two state solution. It is high time, therefore, in my view, for the U.N. Security Council to enforce its decisions by implementing a just and lasting solution that is in the interests of both Israel and Palestine.
Rather than allowing hardliners on both sides to ignore the mandate of this Council and thereby to threaten global peace. My recommendation to this Council is that it immediately recognize the state of Palestine in a matter of days or weeks and welcome Palestine as a full member of the United Nations with the capital in East Jerusalem and with sovereign control over the Islamic holy sites.
The Council should establish a peacekeeping force drawn heavily from the neighboring Arab countries to help provide security in Palestine. Such an outcome is in the overwhelming will of the international community and the manifest interest of both Israel and Palestine. Despite the vociferous objections by hard line rejectionists on both sides of the divide,
