Article 2 Policy objectives

1. The mandate of the EUSR shall be based on the Union’s policy objectives regarding the peace process.

2. These objectives include, inter alia:

(a) a comprehensive peace that should be achieved on the basis of the relevant United Nations (‘UN’) Security Council Resolutions, the Madrid principles, the Roadmap, the agreements previously reached by the parties and the Arab Peace Initiative;

(b) a two-State solution with Israel and a democratic, contiguous, viable, peaceful and sovereign Palestinian State living side by side within secure and recognised borders enjoying normal relations with their neighbours in accordance with UN Security Council Resolutions 242 (1967), 338 (1973), 1397 (2002) and 1402 (2002) and the Madrid principles;

(c) a solution to the Israeli-Syrian and Israeli-Lebanese conflicts;

(d) a solution to resolve the status of Jerusalem as the future capital of two states and a just, viable and agreed solution to the problem of Palestinian refugees;

(e) following-up of the peace process towards a final status agreement and the creation of a Palestinian state including strengthening the role of the Middle East Quartet (‘the Quartet’) as guardian of the Roadmap, particularly in view of the monitoring of the implementation of the obligations which both parties have under the Roadmap and in line with all international efforts to bring about a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace.

3. These objectives are based on the Union’s commitment to work with the parties and with partners in the international community, especially within the framework of the Quartet, to pursue every opportunity for peace and for a decent future for all people in the region.

4. The EUSR shall support the work of the HR in the region, including within the framework of the Quartet.
