and resolution

The General Assembly

,

Guided

by the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United

Nations,

Reaffirming

its commitment

to respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity and

political independence of all States,

Recalling

Chapter VI, including Article 33, paragraph 1, of the Charter, and

other Articles relevant to mediation,

Bearing in mind

its responsibilities, functions and powers under the Charter,

and thus recalling all its relevant resolutions in matters related to the peaceful

settlement of disputes, conflict prevention and resolution, including through

mediation,

Reaffirming

its commitment

to uphold the sovereign equality of all States,

respect for their territorial integrity and political independence and the duty of

Member States to refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of

force in any manner inconsistent with the purposes and principles of the United

Nations, and to uphold the resolution of disputes by peaceful means and in

conformity with the principles of justice and international law, the right to

self-determination of peoples which remain under colonial domination or foreign

occupation, non-interference in the internal affairs of States, respect for human

rights and fundamental freedoms, respect for the equal rights of all without

distinction as to race, sex, language or religion, international cooperation in solving

international problems of an economic, social, cultural or humanitarian character

and the fulfilment in good faith of the obligations assumed in accordance with the

Charter,

Bearing in mind

that armed and other types of conflicts and terrorism, in all its

forms and manifestations, and hostage-taking still persist in many parts of the

world,
