Mideast situation – SecCo Draft resolution (USSR)

UNION OF SOVIET SOCIALIST REPUBLICS:  REVISED DRAFT RESOLUTION

The Security Council,

Noting that Israel, in defiance of the Security Council's resolutions on the cessation of military activities and a cease-fire (S/RES/233 of 6 June 1967, S/RES/234 of 7 June 1967 and S/RES/235 of 9 June 1967), has seized additional territory of the United Arab Republic, Jordan and Syria,

Noting that although Military activities have now ceased, Israel is still occupying the territory of those countries, thus failing to halt its aggression and defying the United Nations and all peace-loving States,

Considering unacceptable and unlawful Israel's territorial claims on Arab States,

1. Vigorously condemns Israel's aggressive activities and continued occupation of part of the territory of the United Arab Republic, Syria and Jordan, regarding this as an act of aggression and the grossest violation of the United Nations Charter and generally recognized principles of international law;

2. Demands that Israel should immediately and unconditionally remove all its troops from the territory of those States and withdraw them behind the armistice lines and should respect the status of the demilitarized zones, as prescribed in the General Armistice Agreements.
