sense of congress

sense of congress Sec. 603. It is the sense of the Congress that the P.L.O. must do far more to demonstrate an irrevocable denunciation of terrorism and ensure a peaceful settlement of the Middle East dispute, and in particular it must— (1) submit to the Palestinian National Council for formal approval the necessary changes to those articles of the Palestinian National Covenant which call for Israel’s destruction; (2) make greater efforts to preempt acts of terror, discipline violators and contribute to stemming the violence that has resulted in the deaths of over 140 Israeli and United States citizens since the signing of the Declaration of Principles; (3) prohibit participation in its activities and in the Palestinian Authority and its successors by any groups or individuals which continue to promote and commit acts of terrorism; (4) cease all anti-Israel rhetoric, which potentially undermines the peace process; (5) confiscate all unlicensed weapons; (6) transfer and cooperate in transfer proceedings relating to any person accused by Israel to acts of terrorism; and (7) respect civil liberties, human rights and democratic norms.
