PLO official Hanan Ashrawi has stressed that the rights of the
Palestinian people are inalienable, and the right of return is at the
top of those rights. Citing UN Resolution 194 and the Geneva Convention
of 1951 on the Status of Refugees, the PLO executive Committee member
insisted that such rights, individually and collectively, cannot be
waived and will not become obsolete with the passage of time.
In a statement released on Thursday to commemorate World Refugee Day, Ashrawi said: "This day embodies Arab and international solidarity with our people's rights, particularly their right to return to their homes from which they were forcibly displaced in 1948. Until today, they are still pressed under two injustices: the Israeli occupation on one hand and exile on the other."
Pointing out that Israel bears responsibility for producing and perpetuating this human tragedy in a stark violation of international conventions, particularly the Geneva Convention, Dr Ashrawi noted that the number of Palestinian refugees now stands at 5.3 million according to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). "This represents the largest number among the world's refugees," she added.
