S/PV.629 Security Council

As the complaint by Syria has been raised by the representative of that Government, l take it that you will expect me, on your behalf, to invite him to come to the table of theSecurity Counci1. l, therefoi'e, invite the representative of Syria to come to the Security Counci1 table. la le du sentamt On the invitation of the President, Mr. Zeineddine, representative 01 Syyia., took a pÙfce GJt the Secwrity Council table. 2. The PRESIDENT: In a letter of 26 October 1953 [S/3124], ·the representative of Israel asked that his Govemment be represented at the Security Council during the discussion of this item. If the Council is agreeable, l shaH then invite the. representative of Israel to come to the table of the Se1curity Councii. 2. en d'Israël la le· du d'Israël, On the invitation of the President, Mr. EbœnJ, represenfa#ve of Israel, took GJ place at the Secwrity Council table. . .

The documents circulated so far show.that on 23 September, the Chairman of the Israeli-Syrian Mixed Armistice Commission requested the State of Israel [S/3122, amllez I] to ensure that "theauthority which started work in the demilitarized zone on 2 September 1953 i5 (he) instructed to· cease working in the zone so long a.s an .agreement is not arranged". 3. l'anglais): niqués le israélienne 2 5. There is, however, one feature of this dispute which requîres immediate attention. Certain works have been undertakf'.n and aœ being carried out. Assume for one moment that the Council should come ta the conclusion that these works are not justified under the general Armistice Agreement 1 or under international law which, in any case, would regulate the relations of the parties with reference ta the use of the waters of the j orcîan River. If, in the meantime, work has continued and money and effort have bee...ï. ~-pended, it may become difficult subsequent1y ta arrive at an adjustment so as ta restore the ~;tat~t..ç quo'. On the oilier hand, if work is suspended and later on it is found that the State of Israel is entit1ed ta carry out that work, no greatharm ''Vill have heen done by the suspension ,')f the work Therefore, before the C01Ll1cil proceeds ta hear the parties .and ta enter upon a consideration of this matter on the merits, I beg ta 'Submit that it may he a wise precautionfor the Counci1 to endorse the request made by the Chairman of the Istaeli-Syrian Mixed Armi~tice Commission on ·23 Septemher and to request the Stat~ of Israel, through the President, to 'Suspend the work in conformity with that request. Then the work may be suspended during the consideration of the case by the Security Councit. The Chairman's request was that work 'should cease "sa long as an agreement is not arranged". Now that the matter is beforc the Security Council, the merits of the question will no dOlllbt be examined, but pending the consideration of the matter by the Security Council itself, before the Council can come to sorne decision with regard ta the matter and arrive at some conchision, it would be wise if the work were sus,pended. I trust that the Council may consider it fea:sible ta proffer that request to the State of Israel. 6. The PRESIDENT: Does any representative wish tospeak on the suggestion of the representative of Pakistan? I must then ask the representative of Pakistan if this isa formaI proposaI.

The proposaI is formaI, although I imagine that if the Council approved of t11e proposaI on the merits, it would not be necessary· ta put in a formaI resolution ta that effect. But if the suggestion has the support of the Couneil and if it is then considered that it couldcorrie in the·form of a formaI draft resolution. I should be prepared ta submita draft ta that effect. However, I do make the proposaI formally.

I think the Council would he in a better position to pass a considered judgment if the representative of Pakistan would be good enough to submit a brief draft resolution explaining exact1y what he wishes the Couneil ta do.

r share the pointof view of the representative of France that it would be much easier for the niembers of the Security Counçil to take a decision on the suggestion of the reoresentative of Pakistan if we had before us a draft of the proposaI.

If no other representative wishes to speak now. l would suggest that we 'suspend the meeting for half. an hour, which will leave time for the representative of Pakistan to draft a proposa! and for, the other niembers to think it over. 12. Mr. Charles MALIK. (Lebanon): The representative of Pakistan may already have a text before hiïn and it would' be weIl to have itbefore us before we suspend the meeting so that we may consider it during the recess. Consequently, r .think it, would be better if we first heard.the formai text of the representative of Pakistan and then, if the Council wishes, we couldhave a shortrecess. I think Mr. Zafrulla Khan is ready td give us the te:xt. ,. 13.. The P~~SIDENT: I saw the representative of Palastan. wnting aud I thought. that was a sign'that he was not ready. However, if he can give us a text now, 1 am quite agreeableto the proposaI madé by the representative of Lebanon. ' . 14. Mr. ZAFRULLA :KHAN (Pakistan): If. the P~esident will give me tèn mi~utes, I may he ready Wlth a text.

In that case we may perhaps have two intervals one to allow for the .drafting of the text, followed by a meeting for the reading of the text. !hen we would have another interval for examining ~ . . 16. Thè representatiV'e· of Israel has a:sked to speak,· ~u~ 1 doubt.whether t~at is in order at this stage as It 18 a preVlous question. 18. Ml'. VYSHINSKY (Union of SOviet Socialist Republics) (translated fro'nt. R1lssian) : l think we are quite unnecessarily protracting the discussion of this iterr· and are wasting our time. 19. The representanve of·Pakistan has .Just proposed that he should be given ten minutes to enable him to submi'è his draft resolution in writing, as the President asked. For the moment, l consider,· there is nothing for us to disctiss further; an adi6umment should he called tlOW so that Ml'. Zafru11a· Khan can complete his· draft resolution and submit··it to us..V,rhen we hàve acquainted ourselves with the .draft resolution, matters can take their COltrse. 20. l therefore. supPOrt the Pakistani representative's original suggestion that an adjoumment of ten minutes should now be ca1led in order to enable him to complete his draft resolution is suitably tranquil conditions. Without the draft resolution we cannot in any event proceed. 21. l move that discussion on this item should be broken off and that an adjourmnent 'shouldbe called. 22. The PRESIDENT: Th~ representative of Israel has again asked ta· speak. l sha11 caU' upon .hïm, and wait to see the subject matter with which he will deal. 23. Ml'. EBAN (Israel): l have no desire whatever ta take part in àproceduraI discussion, but it is my understanding that the delegation of Israel has been invited, under the provisions of the United Nations Charter and the rules of procedure, in order to defend its interests inany·considerations of substance. lt is my contention that a problem of substan{:eis here inv01ved. 24. There isa complex question before theSecurity Council raised by the· Syrian complaint, and that ouestion incIudes asa matter of substance the very issue which isnow under di'Scu'S'sion, namely whether or not there is a c,..'lse for thepostponement, even the temporary postponement, of the work under discussion. It is precisely on this point that the delegation of Israel feels itseIf to he in the position of makiOg" an apoeat. Therefore,I think that the Security Council 'Should be aware of our view that in acting on the kind of draft resolution that has been 'suggested, it would hé takiùg-·a decision on the very matter of-substanœ on .which we are making an appeal ta the Security Council and it would be fonnulating that matter of s1Jbstati.!=e withouthaving heard our point of view. 25. The Security Council is the masteiCof its own procedure, but l am 'Sure it would wish. to know that that is the only way ili which this action can be interpreted. In the submissions. of 'substance which l have to make, there will be inc1uded observations which have a direct bearing on the question now at issue! 27. May l therefore ask that this question should he decided? Rule 33 requires that a motion for the sil'speJision of the meeting' should he decided immediately, and l ask that that he done. 28. l formally move, in accoI'dance with rule 33 of the roles of procedure, that the meeting be 'Suspended for ten minutes; and l consider that a decision on tÎlis motion: should be taken without debate. 29. The PRESIDENT: If there is no objection, l shaH now suspend the meeting for fifteen minutes. immédiatel1le~t~mr pension 28. pour j'estime débat. 29. n'y pendant 11 30.

The PRESIDENT: You have now received, a provisièmal text in English and in French of the Pakistan draft resolution [S/3125].

l apologize for any technical defects of defidencies that may exist in the draft resolution that has been circulated. l ShOl1ld like to draw attention toone defect in the second paragraph of the draft which reads: "Being .of the view that it would facilitate the consideration of the question by the Council if the State of Israel were to comply with the request of' the Chieioi Staff of the Tiuce Supervision Organization dated 23 Septembef 1953." 32. As l .pointed out, that request is. that...work be stopped until an' agreement hasbeen reached, but our draft resolution,itself goes on to state, when it puts the' request, that the work'should .cease pending the consideration of the question by the ,Security Couneil. Therefo.re, to be completely consistent,. the second paragraph should be read as. meani:ag that it would facilitate' the consideration of .the question by the Council if the State of Israel were to comply with the request of the Chief of Staff of the Truce Supervision Orgal,1ization, dated 23 September 1953, pendingthe cqnsideration of the question by the Security Counci1. However, that is only a formaI defect. 33. .I. have purposely, kept the language of the drait non-controversia1. That is to 'say, the draft resolutierrt shouldnot, eith~r.direçt1y or by the remotest implication, be· construed as indicating that the' Security Council ha:s talœn. anj particul~r_,position 'or view of the.matter in•question. - - . ~4~ ....This. is. the·· position: the hostilities. that had unfortunately broken out in that region were brought to a close, or were suspended:, on the basis of the Armistice Agreement. This matter, which has now hèen. ~-'ought before the Sècurity Council,. iscovered by. article V of the .Armistice Agreement. There is ~ome dispute with .regard. to the. interpretation of that article. The authority which has the power to interprét that article is the ComnUssion. ArtiCle VII, 5 ~6. It is t[ue that. the State of Israel is entitled to put ItS own pomt ofV1ew forward before the Council and no doubt the Council will take it into consideration before it comes to· any conclusion..But the present situation is this: that the State of Syria ~l1eges a breach of one of the articles of the Armistice Agreement, and in taking up that position it is supported by whatever mater:al the O:>mmission has placed before the Secudty Council on that point. The alleged breach is of a continuing m~ture in the sense that, if work continues, the resulting damage to tne interests concerned may· hecome permanent. And further the interests that fear such damage and the govern:Uents which might he harmed by & continuation of the work during the debate in the Security Counci! and coitld thus find themselves faced with a fait accompli by the . time the Security Coundl has taken its decision may he .compelled,· in order to stop this breach ~f the agreement, to take steps themselves. Indeed, if there has .been a breach - or even if· there has heen an alleged. breach of ·the Armistice Agreement, and there areprim:a fade considerations which show what there ha§~and.if there is no other remedy available ta put an end to that.breach, the parties may he tempted to take .the. tnaf:!:er i~tlJ their own hands, and·they may be Justified m domg 110, because whatever authority there may he at the lnoment has pronounced in their favour. 37. Tt is, therèfore, .ofthe utmost importance that such action ~hould he taka1. at ibis stage as would obviate any suclÎ contingency, and l 'subrcit very respectfully that it would he wise to take action of the kind submittcd in this cIraft resolution, for, in the first place, it merely endorses, provisionally'at any rate, the request which hasalready heen made to thé State of· ~srael by the Chairman of the Commission, and secondly, it would obviaté any lcindof danger that might otherwrse arise from inaction at this stage, because if the Security Council" does not tl.l,ke the kind of action provided. for in this draftresolution, any decision that it may reach late.r might prcve to he ahortive. . . 38. It stands to r.eason that the wotkofan important character, whiçfi. was undertaken on 2 Septemher, must at this moment he in the couC"se of being ;pushed diligently forward, particularly. as the State of ISrael is aware that the Commission bas asked for the sus- 40. The representative of the United Kingdom has asked me under what provision of the Charter 1 was making this suggestion. ,1 would submit thàt, in view of the fact that hostilities were brought to a close on ilie basis of an agreement, a breach of which is alleged and has, primta facie, so far as the documents submitted to the Securlty Council indicate, taken place, Article 40 of the Charter is clearly applicable. Article 40 says: . "In order to prevent an aggravation. of the situation, the Security Couneil may, before making the recommendations or deciding llpon the measures provided for in Article 39, calI upon the parties concemed to comply with such provisional measurt's as itdeems necessary or desirabk Snch provisional measures shaH he without prejudice ta the rights, daims, or position of the parties concemed." 41. 1 sùbwjt that that amply covers the suggestion 1 have made in the draft reso1ution. . 42. Sir Gladwyn JEBB (United Kingdom).: I need hardly say that l quite understand the apprehensions of the representative of Syria who feels, 'rightly or wrongly, that tinie is going by, that· we arecontinuing' to consider this problem, that it may go on for some Uttle white' and that in the meantime the work is proceeding. 1 suppose he fears that it may reach a pointat which the work will be completed' before the Counci1 has actually taken a decision that it should ,stop which, naturally, would he vitiating the whole abject of ihis appeal to the CounciL 1 hope and believe that that will not happen, but 1 must say -that 1 understand his apprehensions, and 1 can understand also why Sir ZafruHa Khan has therefore made the proposaI which i'$ now before us. 4.2. l'anglais): parfaîtement Syrie passe problème que que Conseil qui, été pas appréhensions comprends senté 43. quelques notamment 43. In regard to the draft resoluti~n 1 must at the satlfe time 'say thaï 1 have a f~w reserves to make and critici:sms to offer, notably in regard tothe second paragraph, which reads as follows : "Being of the. view that it would facilitate the consideration of the question by the Councilif the State of.Israel were to comply with the request of the Chief of Staff of the Truce Supervision Organization dated 23 September 1953." C()l1seit cdonnait de lui 44: préjuger de dire 44. 1may he wrông, but it seems to me that that is asIightly prejudicial way of formulating the question. The question now hefore .us is whether weshould tell Genera:l Bennike that we agree with his action in 7 "Requests the State of Israel that the authority which started. work in the demilitarized zone on 2 September 1953 he instructed to cease working in the zone pending the consideration of the question by the Security Council." l do not atthe moment say that l think it tS - it may he. l think, however, that the second paragraph is open ta criticism. 45. Although l should not myself likeat this very moment to circulate any redraft, l was wondering whether the second paragraph could not read sometbing like this: "Desirous of facilitating the consideration of the question, and without prejudice to its merits". and then go on ta say, "Requests the State of Israel" ~nd sa on. T~lat seems ta me a much less tendentious way of making the saine point. It may he that the representative of Pakistan would consider its adoption. .. Having said that, l should like to add that it may be that the Council will wish to decide immediately on the draft resolution submitted by our c01league from Pakistan, but,petsona11y, l rather hope that it 'will not. It might well he that certain delegations will think that it would meetthe legitimate apprehensions of the representative of Syria if we proceeded in an urgent way to consider trais dispute and came to a conclusion as ta the instructions we ought ta give General Bennike within the next two or·three days. Then it really would not matter very much whether during the next twenty-four or forty-eight hours the work was going on to the north· of Lake Tiberias or not. That might he another way of proceeding with it. However, equa11y, it may he that the majority of the Council will wish to go on with this. In any case, l think our Governments ought to have an opportuni:y of considering it. Therdore, having· said aIl this. my concrete proposaI is that we should adjoum the consideration of this item for twenty-four hours in order to enab1e us all to come, l hope, to a unanimous agreement on· the proposaI put forward by the representative of Pakistan. 46. Mr. URRUTIA (Colombia): l asked to speak before the representative of the United Kingdom had moved for anadjournment. Now tbat he has asked for an· adjourni11ent, l tillfik t1:tat this matter mustbe decided upon first.

Tt is not a motion for a simple adjournment. Tt is a motionfor an adjournment of· twenty-four. hours and it is therefore open for discussion. Those who have askd ta 'speak .would be within their rights to do so on that question. 50. Mr. Charles MALIK (Lebanon): Do I und('rstand that we should confine our remarks to the motion made by Sir Gladwyn Jebb conceming an adjoumment for t~"'e11ty-four hou1"'5?

1 think that is reasonable since it is a question of procedure. 52. Mr. Charles ·MALIK (Lebanon): If I may continue, I should like 0111y to 'sayat this stage that l am very desirous of facilitating the work of the Security. Council to the utmost .possible degree, so !hat it might take a decision with full knowledge of the faets and 50 that we might 311 consult .with our Governments and with one another about this very serious matter. 53. At the same time I would like to say - and 1 do not know whether or not you would consider it as an amendment - that it is apparent that at least certain members of the Council are not ready to to take'action on this matter· at this point, at this morning's meeting. The situation is of such an urgent nature -- and 1 am certain that the representative of t,ie United Kingdom, as he said in his statement, appreciates the urgency 'Ûf it - that the sooner we·cau come to a decision on the draft resolution subrnitted by the representative of Pakistan, the better it would be from every point of view. If the substance of the matter were open to discussion at this point, I could demonstrate that at sorne length. But 1 hope my word will he taken for it at this stage. 54. Therefore, if it is at aIl possible, 1 would hope that the memhers of the Security Council would be able to adjourn the consideration of this question until this afternoon and not until tomorrow moming. Of course, a meeting on another item has already been set for this afternoon. But as far as we are concerned - and we are very much concerned in· this question - we feel that this maiter is of such an urgent nature that we would he quite prepared to put off this afternoon's meeting on the other item until tomorrow morning or even until tomorrow afternoon if it is necessary to continue with this problem at this stage in arder to arrive at a decision on the preliminary matter without any prejudice to the ultimate 'decision of the Security Council on substance. 55. With regârd to the language suggested by the representative of the United Kingdom, it 'seems to me that even before adjouming, whether until this afternoon or tomorrow, we should come to some agreement o~ the language so as to know what we· hs.ve before us, Il' may he well for the President to ask the repre- 56. Tt also seems ta me that if it is at a1l agreeable to the President and to the other members that we should adjourn until this afternOOi.l and continue our discussion of this preliminary matter at that time, those who are interested in the other item which was ta he considered this aftcmoon would, l am 'Sure, willingly and gIadly postpone its consideration until tomorrow, because l cannot overstress the point that this matter is of the utmost urgency from every point of view. "When we come back ta an examination of the substance of this question, l hope l will be given a chance ta demonstrate it. Therefore, my concrete proposai is two-fold: one, that we hear first the representative of Pakistan as ta what his pleasure is about the final text of his draft resolution, and two, that we should consider whether we may not meet again on this questicn this afternoon. 57. Mr. KYROU (Greece): l understand that the representative of the United Kingdom submitted his proposal under rule 33, paragraph 5, of our roles of procedure. He has requested the Council to postpone discussion of this question for twenty-four hours. 58. If this proposaI should he adopted, the Security Council would then meet tomorrow morning. However a meeting of the FirstCommittee of the General Assembly has aln~ady been scheduled far tomorrow morning, and also ior tomorrow afternooi1. Although the First Committee is far behind schedule, its members agreed not to meet today in order to permit the two scheduled meetings of the Security Council ta take place. l am quite sure that Sir Gladwyn will agree with me that the Council should· repay this courtesy and not hold any meetings tomorrow. 59. Mr. ZAFRULLA KHAN (Pakistan): l, wish respectfully to say that. l am. very grateful to ~he representative of the Umt(ld Kmgdom for 'Suggesting an alternative draft for the 'S1~cond paragraph of my draft resolution. 60. It is perhaps correct that the second paragraph, as it stands, -IDight by inrerence indicate an endorsement by the Security Council of the position adopted by the Chairman of ~he Commissio? l have not ~e least desire, even by mference, to gtV'e the lmp:esslOn that the Security Council, or any member of It, had already to any extent prejudged the issue. 61. l am therefore not only quite willing ta acce,pt, but l welcome the 'Suggestion on the drafting that has been made by the· representative of the United Kingdom. 1 agree that the second paragraph might read as he has suggested. His words have already heen taken dovv-n; 1 Hstened to them carefu1ly and l am quite agreeable that they should be substituted for the second paragraph. This might aIso help members on the question of the adjournment of the meeting, whether thereafter it. would be necessar)' to adjoum. 62. Sir Gladwyn JEBB (United Kingdom): l quite agree that if it is a fact that we cannot meet tomorrow, . 63. However, I also heard the representative of Lebanon suggest that we might change our schedule to the extent of meeting this afternoon on this question and postponing the; meeting scheduled ta discuss inter alia the incident a:c Qibya. I should not be opposed to that procedure; I merely want a little time ta consult my Government. So far as 1 anl concerned, I would he agreeable to continuing this discussion, notably the discussion of Sir Zafrulla Khan's proposaI, at 3 p.m. The on1y qualm I have on this point is whether this procedure would he agreeable to the Government of Jordan, which, after aU, has brought this serious complaint before the Security Council. If the representative of Lebanon can assure us that the representative of Jordan is agreeable to this procedure. 1 should 'be quite \villing to accept the postponement of the consideration of the Qibya incidt'nt and to meet this afternoon on the question which is now before us. 64. Mr. Charles MALIK (Lebanon): Naturally, hefore 1 made my suggestion I had c1eared my ground completely with whoever was immediate1y interested, and it was only on the firm understanding that all the parties concerned would be quite agreeable to postponing the debate on Qibya this afternoon and to continuing the discussion of this particular question that I made my original sugges~on. 65. I should like ta add only that the three Western Powers placed the item on the agenda, not the Jordan Government, although -::!le Jordan Govemment is of course most immediate1y concerned and interested in the matter. The item was placed on the agenda at the request of France [S/3109] , the United Kingdom [Sj3110] and the United States [S/3111]. 66. So far as the· representatives of Jordan are concerned I have, as 1 have said, certainly cleared my suggestion with them, and they are.quite in agreement \Vith· the postponement of the consideration of the question of Qibya until we havefinished dealing with the present item. -At least, they wl:>uld agree ta our taking up this matter again this afternOOll. 67. .The PRESIDENT: 1 should like to èall attention to a situation which is disturbing me. The item to be discussed this afternoon originated with three letters froIn the great Powers. asking for an urgent meeting ·following a massacre in conueJ;:ion with whicl1 there \Vas the risk of further develop:ments. We decided ta caU a meeting for this afternoon and to ask General Berinike to he present. 67. voudrais Le après-midi quelles Conseîi d'un événements. séance 68. a de 68. The other question of which we are seized was not brought ina.s an urgent item. No 'Suggestion of . a'threat '1:0 the peace was put forward and the repre-

That seems ta me to be a very 'Sensible suggestion, and support it. 73.l\.1r. URRUTIA (Colombia) (transÙJted from Fre'nch) : l fully endoI'se the proposaI submitted by the Greek representative and supported by the .. United Kingdom representative. Could we not even take the other question immediately after General Bennike's report, and in addition meet tomorrow? There is reason why we should not hold meetings of the Security Council and of the FiI'st Committee at the 'same time; the Members represented in the Security Council have delegations numerous enough to allow the two questions to he discussed concurrently. Otherwise we might make it impossible for the FiI'St;'Committee to. complete ifs work in time, and in addition we would delay the work of the Security Co1.incil. . 74. In any eventit seems to me that we could agree to hold a meeting of the Security Council and a meeting of the FiI'St Committee tomorrow. 75. Mr. Charles MAqK (Lebanon): Has the President ascertàined the answer to the question put him by the representative of Greece, and is he in position '10 tell the Council how long the .report General Benni~e is likely to. take? 76. . The .PRESIDENT: The estimate is that it will take fromhalfan hour to forty-:fi.ve minutes.
