      The General Assembly,
 
      Recalling its resolutions 35/157 of 12 December 1980 and 36/98 of
9 December 1981 on Israeli nuclear armament,
 
      Recalling also its relevant resolutions on the establishment of a
nuclear-weapon-free zone in the region of the Middle East,
 
      Recalling further its resolution 33/71 A of 14 December 1978 on military

      Noting with grave concern Israel's persistent refusal to adhere to the
Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, despite repeated calls
by the General Assembly, the Security Council and the International Atomic
Energy Agency, and to place its nuclear facilities under Agency safeguards,
 
      Conscious of the grave consequences which endanger international peace
and security as a result of Israel's nuclear-weapon capability and its
collaboration with South Africa to develop nuclear weapons and their delivery
systems, 
 
      Taking note of the report of the Secretary-General on Israeli nuclear
armament,

terminate forthwith all nuclear collaboration with Israel;

activities and the collaboration of other States, parties and institutions in
these activities;
 
      4.  Calls upon all States to submit to the Secretary-General all
information in their possession concerning the Israeli nuclear programme or
any public or private assistance thereto;
 
      5.  Requests the Security Council to consider taking effective action so
as to prevent Israel from endangering international peace and security by
pursuing its policy of aggression, expansion and annexation of territories;
 
      6.  Condemns Israel's officially declared intention to repeat its armed
attack against nuclear facilities;
 
      7.  Requests the Secretary-General to keep Israeli nuclear activities
under constant review and to report thereon as appropriate;
 
      8.  Also requests the Secretary-General, in co-operation with the
Organization of African Unity and the League of Arab States, to follow closely
the nuclear and military collaboration between Israel and South Africa and the
dangers it constitutes to peace and security and to efforts aimed at the
establishment of nuclear-weapon-free zones in Africa and the Middle East;
 
      9.  Decides to include in the provisional agenda of its thirty-eighth
session the item entitled "Israeli nuclear armament".
