Summary
The principle named, without definition, in the Quartet Roadmap’s preamble as one of the foundations — with the Madrid Conference, UNSCRs 242, 338 and 1397 and agreements previously reached by the parties — on which its settlement will end the occupation that began in 1967 (A Performance-Based Road Map to a Permanent Two-State Solution to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (Quartet, transmitted 7 May 2003), PDF p.2).
Details
- The Roadmap does not spell out the exchange the phrase names; in its text the principle sits between the Madrid Conference and the resolutions, and the settlement it supports is described in the same sentence as a negotiated emergence of an independent, democratic and viable Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with Israel (PDF p.2).
- The United Nations study of 1989-2000 treats Madrid as seeking a comprehensive negotiated settlement based on resolutions 242 (1967) and 338 (1973) and “land for peace”, and its section III introduction records that all parties agreed to negotiate on the basis of resolutions 242 and 338, premised on “land for peace” (Origins and Evolution of the Palestine Problem: Part V (1989-2000), PDF p.5 / printed p.1, PDF p.42-44 / printed p.38-40).
- Resolution 1515 (2003) recalls “the Madrid principles” without using the phrase itself (Resolution 1515 (2003) endorsing the Quartet Roadmap (19 November 2003), PDF p.1).
