Italian Ambassador to the UN Marcello Spatafora addresses the General Assembly during an emergency session, where members discussed a resolution to declare an Israeli wall built on the Palestinian West Bank as illegal, in New York, October 20, 2003. The Arab Group of nations, meeting behind closed doors at U.N. headquarters, also asked the 191-nation assembly to approve a second measure seeking an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on whether Israel is legally obligated to dismantle the barrier, diplomats said.
