Bureau of the Movement of Non-Aligned Countries addressed to the

President of the Security Council

The participants at the Ministerial Meeting of the Co-ordinating Bureau of the Non-Aligned Countries currently being held at Havana, Cuba, are deeply disturbed by the act of State terrorism carried out against the Palestinian refugee camps in Beirut, Lebanon.

The criminal air attacks perpetrated by the Israeli air force on Friday, 4 June 1982 must be strongly condemned.

We request that the Security Council meet immediately with a view to putting an end to the continued Israeli aggression and to adopt appropriate measures against Israel, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.

I request that this communication be circulated as a document of the Security Council.
