What 1 wish to show by quoting this part of thé testimOny is that some of the footprints found on the site of' the incident were undoubtedly left by this armed detail of eight men and members of the border police. Therefore. 1 cannotagree that the footprints. which seem to be the chief count of indictment. are only those which are assumed to be those left by the group that came from the River Jordan. 10. 1 must also point out that the investigation. which unquesti0!1ably constitutes the substantive part of the report that has been submitted, to us.• could only have bean made on the following clay. i.e.• on 20 August, at 5 a.m. (local time) more than ten hours aftel' the incident took place. 1 must also calI attention to the fact that the investigation Oarried out by Israel could not have been made at the time of the incident. sinoe the fourth witness-who. incidentally. is an Israel police officer-gave the following reply to the United Nations military observers who asked him when he had carried out his investigation: "At first light this mol'ning. approximateJy0200 GMT" [ibid.}. Therefore, these are d~finitely footprints of persons who came after the incident andthey are either the eight armed persans who said they came after having.heard the burst of gunfire. or the border polie.e. 11. 1 cannot. 1 repe8t.in all objeOtivity.accept the principle that a judgementor a decision bythe Security COUDcil should be taken on the basis of such flimsy and inconsistAnt evidence as that which is presented to. us in the report. 12. l also havean.other point to make. It concerns two bodieswhich are reported to have been found beside the tractors. According to· the·. fifth .witness. who .is a doctor at the'Safad General Hospital. the two bodies were carried from the site of the incident to the kibbutz. and from there to the Safad General Hospital. However. since. according to the witness. the. mortuaryat thathospital was already fun. the bodies were taken to the General Hospital at Haifa. which .is situated. more than· fifty kilometres ••frolll Safad. The fact that the doctorstates that the' mortuary was already full gives me. personally. asomewhat distressing impression of the 'nature of the ,situation that may have prevailed in the area. Was there an epidemic. orso many incidepts involving bloodshed. hl thearea that therewas no roomin the mortuary at the Safad 'General Hospital for two bodies. which had to. be carried at night··to· the hospital at Halfa? 13. In' my d,?legatiolJ.'s opinion. all this shows that this is a rather mysteriousaffair. 1 wU! say quite frankly that. since 1 have been somewhat influenced by Cartesian discipline. I sMuId havepreferred à judgement of such importance tobe foundednot on conjecture but onspecific and incontl'overtiblefacts. l therefore thinkthatno proof has yet been olearly 14. l must also call attention to one small fact which has todo with photograph No. 9, published in document S/5401/Add. 1. It shows a sandal-you see that the Couticil is discussing all sorts of things in connexion with this matter-even shoes. Icannotconceive of anyone gainingthe impression from this photograph that this· is a sandal left by menwho went to the scene of the incident, since itmore closely resembles the footwear of f.l. farmer than that of a soldier. l wonder whether, through oversight or for some other reason, , it mightnot have been left by one of the groups that went to the ~ite of the incident l;"'-fore the arrivaI of the investigators. Consequently ~ 1 consider that these documents are not the most suitable for establishing any responsibility, and especially t.hat of the Syrian Army. 15. Taking. all these factors into account, l am convinced more than ever thatthe text of the draft resolution clearly needsto be amenqed in order to make it acceptable and to ensure that it dces not appear as a condemnation which is not based on any facto 16. Ml'• YOST (United States of America) :Ml'. President, l have askedfor the floor to explain brîefly the United States position on the amendments submitted by therepresentative of Morocco [S/5410/Rev.1] to the·'draft resolution Eponsored by the United Kingdom 004 my own delegatio~ [S/5407]. We understand the spirit which has prompted the Moroccan delegation in. putting forward these amendments andWe have ~ven the most careful consideration to them. However, our conclusion is that we cannot support them. 17. The first two amendments, in our view, significantly change the meaning and the balance otour draft resolution•• We •consider that they failto tâke into account the evidence surrounding the incident at Almagor as presented to the Council in the sec.retary- General's report, and by thisomission, if àdopted, would cause the resolution to fail to deal with the !irst complaint which the Council is considering. 18. The representative of Moroc.co has given us today a rather detailed interpretation of the events at Almag;or• Frankly,we have not felt justified in engaging in aninterpretation of these events, but we have felt it. wiser for the Council simply to limit itself to the facts as set forth in the report. That is what we, h~veatternpted to do in operative paragraph 1 and 2 of our draftresolution. The proposed revisions of theseparagraphs would in our opinion simply leave tbis whole incident hanging in the air. We do not believe. therefore,that these amendments would be compatible with our draft resolution. . 19. We·cannot·support thethirdamendmentsuggested by the representative of Morocco.Mydelegati0n cel:'tainly regrets any iqfringement of the Gene;ral Armistice AgreeIIlent; but we believe the more uSeful numb~r' of measures ,hich inhis estimation could lead to. the alleviation of, tension,;,and restoration of tranquillity in the area. We do believe it important for the Security COWlcil, to ,suPIX>rt the Chief of Staff in his ,efforts, but we would net consider it helpful to him: if the COWlcil,wel'e to single out for special em~ phasis only one ,aspect ofhis suggestions-suggestions which he màde as a whole to the parties concerned and which depend for Implementation on the parties coucerned. 21. We believe the mosi effective approach for the COWlcil is to support the need for measures such as those proIlOsedby the Chief of staff. tocall upon the parties to co-operate withthe Chief of Staff, but at the same tinie to allow him full discretion In his consultations with the parties concerned. This, we feel, is the better way to achieve progress rather than attempting to prejudge which issue or issues should receive themost or the first at.tention. 22. For these relisons, the United States will abstain on the ainendments subnlittedin document S/5410/Rev. 1. ' 21. Conseil, de d'état-major mais dans plus miner par 22. sur ment

My delegation thïnks it right,therefore, that the attention of the Government of the Syrian ArabRepublicshould be drawn to the evidence contained in the report· of the Secretary-General.· This ~s aH that the operative parag+aph2 of the dr,aft resolutionpurports to do. . 30. The third amendment of the representative of Morocco deals with a point to ",hich l also referred earlier. l said that there was someevidence to show that there. hadbeen an Israeli armoured personnel carrier in the area, and that this was described in the Secretary-General's report as a violation of the General Armistice Agreement. 31, l would repeat here that my delegationdeplores all action, be it exchanges of fire or the introduction of weapons. into the demilitarized zone and defensive areas, which contravenes the Armistice Agreem~nt. 32. we have to hear in inind, howev.er, the substance of the Syrian .complaint to the Council.This was that the Israelis hadopened fil'e in the p;:œdara area, had broi.lght flbout a large concentration of nlilitaryforces and had initiated a new wave of aggression. Our view, which, l th.i.nk:, was shared by other members, is that the Syrian complaint in·these terms wasootcorroboratedby the .ev~deIlce which we had before us. 33. It would, l submit, therefore be wrongto substitute for a paragraph which attempts ta dealwiththe. Syrian complaint as a whole one which, though possibly justifiable in itse1f, deals only with one particular incident il1 the wider exchanges of fire, the responsibility for which is not entiI'ely cleir• 34. As tQ the last amendmentproposedby therepresentative. of Morocco, it .will be. clear from What we said earlier that we wouldwelcome wholeheartedly the reactivation of the Mlxed Armistice Commission. and of machinery which would.ensure that incidentsofthis kind are swiftly and adequately handled on the spot. 35. Let~ us, howeve~, lo.ok· ta the future rather than to the pasto The Chief of staff of UNTSO has proposed a number of steps directed to the reduotion of tension in this area. He refers particularly 10 the reactivation of the Mixed Armistice COIÎlnllssion ar.longstthe steps tobe· taken toward a" fuller 'implementationof the General Armistice Agreemênt. The resolution notes aH his proposaIs and urges the parties to· co-operate withGeheràl; Bull in makingpI'ogressinconformity 36. My delegation would therefore prefer at this$tage not to single,0ut any of the. measures. proposedfor particular attention. Let us for the moment leave the parties to·showtheir good faith in.the coming months. and let usreserve any judgement on this matter until we have the Secretary-General's report beforeus.

Havhg heard the United States and United Kingdom representatives give their views on t.he Moroccan anieridments-I must say. inpassing. that while 1 adipired the United Kingdom representative's Oxford or Cambridge •. accent. t found nO merit in the substance of hisprose-my delegation. in conformity with instructions from theSyriah Government. wishes to repeat that the Government can in no wil-y-and l stress these words, so thateach of us may shoulder hisresponsibilities in that light-can in no wayaccept the' terms of the draft resolution submittedby the United Kingdom and the United Sta.tes. ' 38; Paragraphs 2 and 3 of thisdraft resolution are a "wantonIl c0ndemnation of Syrià.-I place"wanton" in quotation ma.rks aild offer a reminder,of this word to those who chose to useitin-their draft resolution. The condem..'l.a.tion purports to be based on the report of the Chief of Staff--for 1 beg younot to implicatethe Secretary-General in thisreport. since he merely forwarded it to the Security Council; leave the Secretary-General out of all this, becausethe relations of the two parties withthe· Secretary-General are excellent; while the report drawn upby the Chie: of Staff is not excellent, 'and the .Secretary-General is not respons~ble for. it., You have Used the word "Secretary,..General"in ordel' to make arümpression. but the impression does not last, because it has no foundation; there is nothing in the report whichconstitutes ,a clear, definite~dprecisestatementimplicating .t,he. Syrian Œ>vernment. as tbe party. responsiJ:>le. Jndeed.on the contrary, as 1 have already ,had occasion ta state repeatedly, much of the report goes to show that tqe Syrian Government. was not responsible. ., fait b~en ,état. 39. May 1 repeat. for the last time. that the report states first. that "the demilitarized zone was not entered throughout the investigati0n"; and secondly. that the Israelîs"even with the' offer of a signed receipt wouldnot handover to theinvestigating United Nations military observers any of the physical evidence" onwhich they based their case. 40•. ft is quite deplorable that the UnitedKingdom- United stàtèsdraft resolution. attempts to turn the Security.Council into a jumcial body. as theMoroccan representative ••expressed it so brilliantly-a jumcial body responslble for' stating the law ina givencase. 1 used to use that expression "stating" in law scMol and in court; but the .8ecurity Council is a political organ ,of the United Nations. and to attempt to confer upon it judicial powers while denying the parties concerned the right to invoke the. rules of legal procedure 42. Since 1 have already quoted at the 1062ndme'eting the statements· made by Mr.• SalahEddine Bitar. Presidentof the Council of Ministers and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the SJfrian Arab Republic. to the Chief of Staff-which. appear in paragraph 13 of the latter's report-I am ml)re. surprised than ever that the sponsors of. the m,'aft .resolutionpersist in an attitu,qe which 1 CanIlot understand. or which can be understood only tao well. Thus. the word ofa member .of an Israel kibbutz particularly involved in an atfair which was completely contrived and staged from beginning to end is preferred ta that of an Arab Head'of Government. or let me say simply a Head of Government. 43. This is how 1 understand my brief. The representativesof the United States and the UnitedKingdom have DOW thrown all the weight of the countries they represent against· my country and my Government by saying. ~t.the two· Israelis were killed by Syriansi but .all. 'this evidence.is wrong. ail this evidence is without foundation. Am 1 allowed to bring evidence ta the contrary?·.Ishould not wish to summoIi witnesses who would refute certain assertions of the Isràel witnesses; t might ask the Counci! ta ordera counterinqÙiry and a coi.mt~r-appraisal. 44. These aie'questions of procedure• andprocedure is· bound up with tM l!!,w. Sometimes. when 1 thinkof this .·draft .resolution•..1 .wonder .. whether 1 really deserVed mydegree-in làw.signed by agreat Frenchman.

If the sponsors. of the cIraft resolution had r~allyhad at. hea,rt the cause of peacein that region. tb~ycouldIlot but Qaveurgedtheparties ta turn first 46. The truth of my assertions is proved by the very tenor of paragi'aph 3 of the draft resolution. wbich seeks to reject the Syrian complaint in an unjust. biased and off-hand manner. On reading this paragraph. we cannot but belie,ve that there was a show of force in the demilitarized zone. In this context. it is worthwbile to repeat the very words used by the sponsors of the draft resolution; they are as foUows: "Notes with satisfaction that the report pf the Secretary-General inilicates that. although there was an exchange of fire. there was no s':'~Jstantial show of force in the demilitarized zone on 20 August 1963." Thus. paragraph 3 recognizes that ·there was an exchange of fire; yet any exchange of fire is prohibited under the General Armistice Agreement. At the same time. paragraph 3 says that there was no substantial show of force in the demilitarized zone; but when you say that there was no substantial show of force. you imply by those very words that there was a show of force. and if there was a show of force in the demilitarized zone. therewas a violationofthe Armistice Agreement. Let us grant that you'are trying to pin responsibility with respect to the Israeli complaint on the Syrians; but at least be fair and pin responsibility on Israel; even if only a vèry minor violation of the Armistice Agreement is involved. say so in your draftresolution. But you do not say so. 47. It is clear from aU thatI have just said that the draft resolution not onlybears outIsrael's slanderous. unfounded and unproved charge. butsanctions impunity for Israel and even goes so far as to approve Israel's successive violations of the status of the demilitarized zone. l can say this to allmembers of the Council who wish to listen to me; they will vote as they please; but first they shaUlisten to me. 48. The operative part of the resolution adopted by the Security Council on 18 May 1951.!i states that âny show of force in the demilitarized ZOne is prohibited. You want a balanced resolution; you should have used such terms as these. 1 appreciatedthe statementmade a moment ago by Ml'. Jackling, the United Kingdom representative, who told us that in his opinion there had been a violation of the Armistice Agreement by Israel; but if that is what you say, why not put it in black and white? 50. Opentive paragraph 3 of the draft resolution is unacceptable, for the major reason thatitcontravenes the provisions of the Syrian-Israel Armistice Agreement. 51. As far as operative paragraph 5 of this draft resolution is concerned, 1 must state formally that it is unacceptable to my delegation. It is unacceptable, not from the point of view of principles. but because it does not go far enough in stating the facts. 52. Last week,I had the honour to make a long and comprehensive statement before the SecurityCouncil concerning the refusal of the Israel authorities to take part in the proceedings or meetings of the Mixed Armistice Commission so, long as it considered matters relating to or connected with the status of the demilitarized zone. 1 was gratified that my statement was confirmed by the Israel representative, Ml'. Cornay; then, with his illogical kindof logic, MI'. Cornay said that the Commission was functioning very well but that no plenary meetings of the Commission were being held because Israel would not take part in the Commission's proceedings relating in any way to the demilitarized zone. 53. 1 sMuId have hoped that, after hearinv. such a statement by the Israel representative, th!:; 'United Kingdom and United States representatives would accept the consequences, or at least consider that statement in the light of future events. Isee that the United Kingdom and United States representatives stand for peace in the region and say that theydo not want any more events of the same kind to occur. My Government tells ypu, clearly, frankly and distînctly, that the Armistice Commission cannot meet because Israel does not agree to takepartin the Commission's prol1eedings relating in any way to the demilitarized zone. Israel has now confirmed the statements made by Syria. Toqay, Ml'. Jackling and Mt. Yost wish to disregard what 1 have said; consequently,their draft resolution lacks balance and is unacceptable to me. 54. When Israel lodged its complaint, l told you: "very well; we want to have fuis complaintconsidered, because our hands are clean and we have nothing ta hide from you." After several 'meetings and lengthy debate, however, it turns out that you are telling us that Syria is completely in the wrong and Israel completely in the right. Even in what you cali the report by the Secretary-General-for l say out of respect for him that you have' implicated him in an affair in which he should not have been implicated-even in the report by the Chief of staff, that ,ls not tobe found. You can make the report say whatyouwish but, as the representative of Morocco hàs explained, the report did not condemn anybody. Yet you say in the Council that the report concludes that Syria was responsible for the murder of the two Israelis. Can you quoterne one paragraph of the report stating plainly that the Syrian authorities are responsible? You are trying to treat this report as an oracle, and you are'trying to make the 9racle say what it does not say. That re,:" minds me of ,a famous line by R~cine, who makes Clytemnestra say in defending her daughter Iphigenia, who is about to be immolated throughan 'oracle: "Doesan oracle always say everything it means to say?" That is what Clytemnestra, as.a good mother, said to Agamemnon. Does the report by the Chief of Staff always say e,verything you wantto make it say? You. want the draft resolution'accepted as itstands. Therefore you want the amendments rejectec;l.\ 55. The Syrian delegation willhavè done'its duty. It will have confronted you with the facts, which àre as follows: first, Syria observes, andwillalwaysobserve the Syrian-Israel General ArnP,stice Agreenientfor as long as that Agreement'remaîns ln force; second].y, Syria waQts the machinery prescribèd bi the Agreement for the' settlement of âispùtes to b,e fully operativej thirdly, Syria wants the Mixed Armistice Commission to m.eet and to settle thecoJ:nplaints,of the parties through suchmeetings. How much better it would havé been had the Israel complaint been referred to the Mixed Armistice Commission! Yet in this draft resolution, despite the statements made by my Government, my delegation and myself, you tell us that Syria is 100 peI' cent in the wrong and you teU Israel that it is 100 peI' cent in the right. Whatever may be the fate of this draft resolution, Syria wiU continue to observe the Armistice Agreement. Iwould add this: a draft resolution of this kind ought to have the unanimous approval of the membersofthe Security Council. l said the other day that ifyou tried to blame Syria for such an act, you would not be condemning Syria, but the entire Axab world•• The representative of the Philippines, for whom l have great respect and who is now, presiding, over ,th~ Council, statedthe other dà,y that this affair was not an Arab-Israel question,-buta Syrian-Israel question. May Irespectfully refer the President, in .his capacity' as the representative of the Philippines, to the letterFJwhich . 56. l, then, have done my duty; it is for you to do yours.

1 have no more speakersonmy list; 1 take it, therefore, we are now ready to proceed to the vote. 58•. The CO\Ulcil has before it the draft resolution submitted by the United Kingdom and United States [S/5407). and the Moroccan amendments [S/5410/ Rev.1). The amendments should be voted uponfirst. Unless 1 hear any objection, 1 shall put the amendments ta a vote as a whole.

1 shaH not take more than two or three minutes of the CO\Ulcil's time in order to comment on the translation into French of the draft resolution submitted by the United Kingdom and the United States. 60. In operative paragraph 1 of the draft resolution, the English words "Condemns the wanton murder at Almagor" have been translated as "Condamne le mëurtre gratuit h Almagor". The expression "meurtre gratuit" has no meaning in French and 1 think that it would be preferable to· seek another translation. Of course, some thought must already have been givl;ln to~his.but·we feel that some other word which would be more. \Ulderstandable in French might be· considered-the wàrd"injustüïable", for example. The first paragraph would thenreadasfollows: "Condamne le meurtre injustüiable h Almagor, en territoire Israêlien •••", the l'est remaining \Ulchanged. 61. This is the suggestionwhich my delegationwished tomake, a suggestion which, let me repeat, does not change the meaning of the draft resolution in any way ànd does not involve any change in the English texte

We appreciate the correction s1lbmitted by the representative ofFrance. The Secretariat will take note of it. 63. lnow put to the vote the Moroccan amenqments as a whole[S/5410/Rev. 1].

The result of the vote was 8 in favour. 2 against. with l abstention. The draft resolution was not adopted. one of the negative votes being that of a permanent member of the Council. 65. The PRESIDENT: Because the draft resolution has not been adopted Iwould like to address a personal appeal to the Council to respect and observe the cease-fire which has been requested by UNTSO along the affected Syrian-Israeli border. Anything short of this will. 1 believe. render nugatory the efforts of the United Nations towards peace and leave another vacuum in the present state of world affairs which. li 1 may be allowed to say. is none too reassuring. 66. Another thing which 1 would like to requestis for both parties in thisdispute to return all persons. 1Ulder paragraph 49 of General Bull's report who have indicated their desire to be returned home. so that in that way at least the efforts so far exerted by the United Nations in this regard will not be totally fruitless. 67. Ml'. SIDI BABA (Morocco) (translated from French): The statement which 1wish to make is in two parts. The first is designed to define the point of view of my delegation at the conclusion of this debate, and in connexion with the voting. 68. The Moroccandelegation. in propdsing a certain number of amendments. feIt that their adoption would undoubtedly improve the draft resolution submitted by the representatives of the United States andthe United Kingdom. AS the Council has not seen fit to adopt the amendments. my delegation has no further choice. It was. and still is. unable to supportthe draft resolution. on which it has already commented. It therefore feels that the vote of the Soviet delegation came at a time when it was absolutely necessary. for in the opinion of my delegation a resolution such as the one before us would not have solved the problem. either as regards the incident itself or as regards the very tense situation prElvaillng in that area. 1 can therefore express my delegation's sincerè thanks to the Soviet delegation and say how pleased we were with the very important decision it took. 69. The second part of my statement, cieals with another aspect of the question. The Council may remember that in the coUrse of the statement 1 made on 28 August. speaking of the provisions of the Armistice Agreement. 1 said the following: du clauses "In this connexion. my delegation intends ta request. li necessary. some clarliications from the 71. The present debate in t.'1e Security Counci! has revealed a serious deterioration of conditions along the demarcation line between Israel and Syria and in the demilitarized zones. It is also true that a simi!ar state of tension and insecurity has existed, and stiU exists along the other demarcation lines in general. This state of affairs is due, to a very large extent, to thefact that the Armistice Agreement is notobserved as it should be because of IS1'ael's failure to do so and its refusal to accept the obligations imposedon it by the General Armistice Agreement, in particular, the obligation to participate in the work of the Joint Armistice Commissions. 72. Indeed, these Commissions are completely boycotted by the State of Israel. 1 feel therefore that it would he useful for the Council, and certainly in the interest of peace in the region, li the Secretary- General were to instruct the Chief of Staff of the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization .in Palestine to prepare a report describing in detailhow far the Armistice Agreements are being -'lpplied along the demarcation lines and in aIl the demilitarized zones, andhow far the Àgreements have beenobserved by the parties concerned. The report must be strictly.factual and should not be politicalincharacter. lt should he submitted to the Security Counoil b~' the Secretary-General as soon as possible. 73. This i5 whatIllY delegation wished to propose to the Security Council at the end of the debate, for it isobvious from ail the statements that have been made here by all and sundry,and particularlyfrom the statements made by the two parties ta the dispute. that the. major düficulties which arise are entirely due ta the non-observance by the State ofIsrael of the provisions of the ArIllistice Agreement. 74. Weconsider that the Armistice signed by the Stateof Israel and its neighbours imposes obligations on .aU the contracting parties and we think-,.as 1 have already said-that someof those provisions are not accepted by Israel. and in particular, the provisions relative to the status of the demilital'ized zones; we feelthat a,lthough the State of Israel may take upon itself not toapply United Nations resolutions on the prete2rt that they are only rl'lcommendations which maybe considereçl. not to impose 9bligations on IVlember States. in the case of the Armistice Agreelllent Israel, which is one of the signatories, has certain obligationsunder it; and any violation of its provisions byanyone may lead to cOlllplications which 75. Having said this, and in view of the lateness of the hour, if the English-speaking delegations have no o.bjection the Moroccan delegation is willing to forego the consecutive interpretation into English·of the statement 1 have Just made.

As there is no objection, the Council will waive consecutive interpretation into English of the statement of the representative of Morocco. 77. 1 now recognize the Secretary-General, who wishes to make a statement. 78. The SECRE:TARY-GENERAL: 1 have listened carefully to the request just made b~7 the representative of Morocco. If my understanding is correct, he proposes a report on the a:ctual status, and state of observance by the parties concerned, of the Armistice Agreements. 1 take note with satisfactIon that it is an entirely factual, and not a political, report that is sought. 1 will, of course, on theassumption that there is no objection by this Council, ask the Chief of Staff of UNTSO to have such a report prepared and submitted to me for transmission by me to this Council. In view of the fact that General Bull and his colleagues have much daily work to do, and that the preparation of such a report is a time-consuming work, 1 would not wish to promise submission of the report to the Council in less than two months.

1 take it that, in view of the Secretary-General's statement, no action on this matter lS further required by the Council for the present. 80. Mr. FEDORENKO (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) (translated from Russian): In view of the situation which has arisen in the Security Council as a result of the attitudes of certain powers, the Soviet delegation considers it necessary to explain why it voted as it did on the draft resolution submitted by the United Kingdom and the United States. 81. It is to be regretted that despite the Security Couneil's custom in recent times ofreachingmutually acceptable decisions on the questions before it, it has not proved possible, in this case. to reach any decision which would be acceptable to aIl the States members of the Security Council. 82. This is aIl the more lamentable because, in the opinion. of the Soviet delegation, it would have been quite possible to reachsuch agreement on the basis of the amendments to the United Kingdom and United States draft resolution proposed by the representative of Morocco. 83. If it has proved impossible to arrive at such a unified and mutually acceptable position in the Security Council, and if, as a result, two members of the Security Council-the Soviet Union andMorocco-have been obliged to vote against the draft resolution, the blame for this must bé laid at the doorof certain Powers, which have from the very beginningadopted a line of action which was not that of seekingmutually acceptable dècisions. a et proposé, qui, rien mutuéllement 85. The.United_Kiilgdom delegation. too. haschanged itspOsition.

The United States delegation regrets that the 8ecurity Council was unable to act today on the Israel and Syrian complaints because of a veto by the Soviet Union. We particularly regret the Soviet veto because it has blocked action supported by eight membel's. of the Counci! which was aimed. not only at dealing with the specific complaints before us, but also at strengthening the peace-keeping machinery in, the Middle East. maintien l'objet autorités le et importants sur ni 96. The complaints submitted t0 this Council were carefully investigated by the United Nations authorities on the spot,a.nd the draft reE')lution sponsored by the United Kingdom and the United States' delm with the most important aspects of these complaints precisèly on the basis of the United Nations investigation and not going beyond the letterand the spiritof the report before the Council. 97. The faÇlt that the resolutj.on was vetoed does not in any way detract from the judgement ofthe majOrity of theCouncil on these complaints. The Security Council has a long standing and unique responsibility With regardto peace-keeping in this area, and for it to' failto act because'of a Soviet veto can onIy injure the interests of peace in the area. we can merely express our great regret for this failure and our hope that it will not lead to heightened tensions in the Middle East. 97. heurté que Le responsabilité le empêchêd'agir que région. cet pas 98. Despite the failure of the Counci! to act, Israel and .Syria, as well as other signersof the General Armistice Agree~ent, continl1e. ~o have a solemn responsibilityto co-operate with General Bull in working out better means for keeping the peace. This 98. d'intervenir, autr.es l'al, .conservent concours 99., l should like in thisconnexion to associate my delegation with the appeals made to the partiesby the President of our Council, one regarding the maintenance of peace and the other concerning an early exchange ofprisoners. 100~ The representative of Morocéo a few minutes ago put forward orally a proposaI to the Councn with regard to a report from the Secretary-General. As 1 have just pointed out, my delegation is deeply intereste.d in the implementation of the General Armistice Agreement and in the strengthening of the peacekeeping .machinery in.the area. However, we have not hadan opportunitytosee the proposaI inwritingor to ~tudy the proposal that was made by the representative f.fMorocco. We could not therefore consider his proposaI and the Secretary-General's helpful statement atthis point as, inany sensé binding on the Councn. Wewould hé happy· to study his proposaI as soon as \Ve seait inwriting. 101••. ,The PRESIDENT: Inowcall upon'the representativeofIsrael. ' ~02. Ml'.

The representatives of the United states and the United ;Kingdom cannot accuse me of not having established the facts of the complaint which 1 submitted to the, Security CO\Ulcil. 1 have spoken several times, 1 have perhaps tried the patience of themembers of the CO\Ulcil. Most unfortunately.-:it was the will of the goda-from the outset. that is ta 'say last Wednesday. everything was settled and it was a11 over. B\lt we should never believe that everything is settled; we must wait for the end. And at the· end of the debate, the draftresolution was not adopted. 115. Thirdly. 1 wish ta state that my àelegation is willing. ta. co-ope~ate with the Secretary-General in every .way. in applying' the measures that you yourself. Mr. President. haveadvocated and Which were also advocated .by· the representative of Morocco. May 1 repeat in this connexion that the Government which 1 have the bonour to represent had already sigIlÜied Us assent ta the cease-fire suggested by the Chief of Staff of the UnitedNations Truce Supervision Orgànization. and that it kept its promise? May 1 add à.lso that my Government is determined ta observe the Armistice Agreement right ta the end? But·~ Ml'. Comay does not wish the party he· represents to participate in the workof the Mixed Armistice Commission. and li the CO\Ulcil has not seenfit to censure such action. although it is provided for in the Agreement itself and bas· been fiequently censured by the Council. neither my delegation nor my Government will be responsible for anything that may happen as a result of Israel's failure ta abide by the Armistice Agreement. 116. 1 should therefore like to say that as far as observance of the Armistice Agreement is concerned. my Government is ready to uphold the Agreement. that it is ready to. co-operate with the chi.èf of Staff and .ta discuss all the necessary mëasures with him. Not only is it willing to discuss matters with the Chief ofStafî but it isalso ready to defend itscause before the. Mixed Armistice Commission. Ican assure you that Syria has no, intention of violating the Armistice Agreement. But li the Agreement is violated by Israel. Syria will not be responsible. 1hope that it will turIl out otherwise and that Israel will agree to attend the mei:ltings of the Mixed iU'mistice Commission. even when questions connected with the status of the DemilitarizedZoneare ta be discussed. 117. lVIr.

We· consider this view to 'be' worthy of attention, and we give it our support. 121. The Soviet delegation aiso considers itnecessary to stress the timeliness and importance ofthe statement made by the Secretary-General regarding the submission of a report.cpncerning which the Moroccan represen~tive'also, spoke. The Soviet delegation hopes, like other d~legati(~msto the Security CouncilaIthough the United States,representative has shown some reserve in this regard-that the Secretary-General will submit,such'a report. which is bound to be of value. 1..,;2.
