Letter dated 24 June 2000 from the Permanent Representative of Lebanon to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

\t<\/span>On instructions from my Government, I have to inform you that on 24 June 2000 Israeli troops opened fire on a Jordanian trade union delegation that was visiting the Lebanese border at the so-called Fatimah Gate, wounding four of its members.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>Lebanon regards this act as a provocation and as a breach of its sovereignty, its territorial integrity and its internationally recognized boundaries. It also views it as a violation of the terms of the report of the Secretary-General of 16 June 2000 (S\/2000\/590) and of the statement by the President of the Security Council of 18 June 2000 (S\/PRST\/2000\/21), in which the Council notes with serious concern the Israeli violations that have occurred since 16 June 2000.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>In view of the dangers arising out of this situation, Lebanon urges you to take the measures necessary to put a definitive end to the Israeli violations and to bring the delicate situation they have created to the attention of the Security Council in order to avert further incidents and injuries.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

\t<\/span>I request you to have this letter circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda item 43, and of the Security Council.<\/p><\/div>\n
