This is a highly charged, emotional statement, which requires an appropriate choice of words It also presents some difficult syntactic problems.

Комментарии:

1)военщиной— is stronger than just “the military,” it has the implication
of a clique or group within the military

2)поступающиеежедневноизрайонасобытиятревожныесведения—
if the interpreter does not have a text and cannot wait before stating the
sentence, he can restructure as follows “that which is being received daily
from the legion — namely, the alarming reports,” or”what is coming in
daily from the legion, that is, the alarming information about events”

3)врезультатеагрессии— English needs “acts of aggression,’which
sounds a good deal better than just “aggression “

4)практическининаодиндень— can be turned around to“virtually
every day”rather than playing with tricky double negatives

5)“Abuse”is a very useful word for“издевательство“and“унижение,”
as “mockery” or”humiliation” often do not sound idiomatic in such
contexts in English

6)необходимо— can often be tendered as“there is a need to”01 simply
as“we must.”

7)Care should be taken withвотношении.It is more idiomatic to drop
it and to speak of the“violent treatment of the civilian population”rather
than of the “violence directed at the civilian population ” Oftenвотно­
шенииcan be translated as‘towards,” “regarding,”or“concerning “

MrPresident,

Our delegation is also concerned regarding the continuing tragedy in southern Lebanon, which is occupied by the Israeli military clique The facts cited in the statements of the representative of Lebanon andthe alarming reports received daily from the region also confirm thereasons for the government’s appeal for help

For nearly three years now, the Israeli military have been violatingaccepted norms of behavior in Lebanese territory which was occupiedas a result of the acts of aggression of 1982 Since then virtuallyevery day there has been no letting up of the raging terror andviolence directed at the Lebanese and Palestinians By mobilizinginfantry units for punitive operations the Israeli aggressors are blockingpopulated areas and are conducting mass searches, raids and arrests,

subjecting the civilian population to various kinds of humiliation,tortures, abuse and beatings Particular cruelty was demonstrated incarrying out these mass punitive operations during the last fewmonths, and this was again raised by the representative of Lebanon inhis statement today

Numerous facts cited during our meeting have clearly revealed theflagrant violation by Israel as the occupying power of the relevant norms of international humanitarian law There is a need to ensurerespect for the territorial integrity and independence of Lebanon, andto put an end to the arbitrary and violent treatment by the Israeli occupiers of the civilian population
