S/PV.631 Security Council

The Security COlmcil has already spent much time on a procedural aspect of the question before us. There seems to be a widely shared opinion that the Security Council would find it helpful in its examination of this question if the work in the demilitarized zone were suspended pending the consideration of the question by the Security Council. It would, of course, greatly facilitate the Council's work if we ·could have some indication from the Government of Israel of its attitude regarding such a suspension. The representative of Israel has asked to be recognized in ordel to state his viewpoint on this subject, and l now recognize him, but l ask him to confine himself to this question and not to speak on the substance of the matter. 2.· Mr. EBAN (Israel): l appreciate the suggestion made by the President, on behalf of the Security Council, that l be permitted to state the views of my Govemment on the preliminary question conceming the temporary suspension of the work at the Banat Ya'coub canal in the demilitarized zone. l fully understand his view that this would facilitate the consideration of this question by the Council in its further deliberations. 3. In the discussion this morning [629th meeting] it was the consensus of the Council, as l understood it, that a temporary suspension would allow discussion to proceed in an atmosphere most conducive to the Security Council's efforts to be of assistance in this problem. 5. l should add that we have, on sorne occasions in the past, discussed this concept of a stoppage for this purpose and have accepted and advocated it, as correspondence will show:~ 6. The Government of Israel, in hereby accepting this idea, wishes in eyery way to assist the Security Couneil in its examination of the problem, and we shall, of course, in futuœ also co-operate 'with the Couneil's efforts to reach a solution taking account of all1egitimate interests. .

l believe that the statement just made by the Israel representative faeilitates our task. It would be useful if the representatives who submitted the draft .resolution [S/3125/Rev.l] this morning would state their views in connexion with the Israel representative's statement and would indicate how we could modify or redraft the proposaI. l intended to speak on the substance of the matter, but l feel that it is now point1ess to do so in vîew of the statement just made by the Israel representative.

For my part, 1 welcome the statement by the representative of Israel. This makes our task on this part of the question very easy. Since, according to his estimate, which 1 share, it was the consensus of the Security Couneil that such a .request should be made to the State of Israel, and sjnce it has now been intimated to the Couneil that the ~equest will be acceded to, 1 think that a.11 that remains to be done is to adopt the draft resolu- ?o~ and then note with gratification that it has been mtimated on the part of the State of Israel that it will accept this pT-ocedure and bring about a stoppage of work, so as to faeilitate the discussions in the Security Couneil. 9. l think 1 should add that, as the representative of the State of Israel will no doubt· have noticed, the second paragraph of the draft resolution contained in document S/312S/Rev.1 now reads: "Desirous of facilitating the consideration of the question, and without prejudice to its merits". • 10. The representative of Israel indicated that his Government's .acceptance of this suggestion is subject, of course, as lt was understood aIl through the 629th meeting, to the condition that this stoppage is without prejudice to the merits of the question.

In my view it would not be desirable for the Couneil to request the Israel Government to do something which, as its delegation has just told us of its own accord it has already decided to do. The Israel representati~e's statement appears to render pointless the draft resolution submitted by the Pakistan delegation. l do not see what bearing any vote we took on it could now have. 1 feel that all the Council can do now is merely to take note of the Israel representative's 15. The statement just made by the representative of Israel does indicate sorne change in the Israel Government's view. Up to now, the government has had a totally recalcitrant attitude regarding the acceptance of General Bennike's decisions. The representative of Israel spoke today of an arrangement to suspend the work - if l have correctly taken down what he saidand he state4 that Israel had been prepared on previous occasions to discuss the question. Although there ls c1early nothing conditional about that acceptance, it is qualified in a way which makes it necessary for us to present the following considerations. 16. First, what is at issue here is not a unilateral dec1aration, either by Israel or by Syria: what is at issue is a preliminary - not a finaldecision by the Security Council, which wouîd have a binding effect and could not be changed at will, which would ensure that an acceptance given on one date would still be aO.hered to on a later date. Hence, it seems to us that it would he proper to take a vote on the Pakistan ciraft resolution, as amended by the United Kingdom delegation. 17. Secondly, if Israel's attitude, as expressed by its ~eI?resentative he:e, is clear and real"':"'- as we hope It IS - the adoption of the draft resolution in question would merely constitute one further step towards strengthening that attitude and ensuring that it would be adhered to. 18. The situation in the area in question provides another reason for our insistence that the Security Council should vote upon the draft resolution. Without going into any details, l should like to statè that the situation at present is exceedingly tense. That is very 19. Furthermore, what the Council must do at the present moment is to try to uphold General Bennike's decisions - though in a preliminary way - without prejudicing the final settlement of the question. It would therefore appear to us more proper, and certainly more useful, that the Council should take a vote on the draft resolution which has been subÎnitted. That would, on the one hand, place it on record that the draft resolution represented tfle-desire of the full Councilnot mere1y the consensus - and would, on the other hand, give more security to the other party and to the people in the demilitarized zone. 20. I should like to make a further observation. If the work were to cbe started again at some time in the near future, we might find ourselves in an exceedingly difficult situation. The work has already been carried on -for a considerable length ôf time. After a short suspension, it may be continued and completed in the demilitarized zone - and then may even be e...-x:tended beyond the demilitàrized zone - without the possibiHty of any real actionby the Security Council.· . 21. In the light of aU those consideratiol.1s, we, as a party to thisquestion, believe that a vote on the present draft resolution would be timely and proper and that, ,in this respect. the attitude taken by the Israel delegation has indeed facilitated matters. 22. Ml'. ZAFRULLA KHAN (Pakistan).: The anxiety to wlùch the representative of Syria has given expression is perhaps natural and can certainly be appreciated. With reference,however, to what was stated by the representative of France, 1 should like to say this: if the indication of the attitude of the'State of Israel towards this matter which has just been conveyed to the Council by the Israel representative can be treated as an undertaking given to the Security Councilan undertaking which it would become the duty of the Truce Supervision Organization to implement - it may not be necessary for the Council's decision now to take the shape of a formaI resolution. If, on the other hand, the Israel representative's statement has the character of a mere intimation to the 'Security Council of Israel's intention, then - although l, persorially, would have complete confidence that, even in that case, it would be carriedinto effect - the other side would not be given that reassurance which is so necessary at this stage if the object which we aIl have in mind, that is, to facilitate the Council's work, is to be achieved. 23. As 1 have said, if it could be recognized that the Israel representative's statement represent.s ~n undertaking which it would be the bl1siness of the Truce Supervision Organization to implement, it would not be necessary, to insist upon a vote on the draft resolution.

In reply to the remarks of the representative of France, 1 would oruy like to say that the statement which 1 have made. comes in direct response ta the consensus of opinion expressed on your initiative on behalf of the Security Council. It is, of course, a declaration which binds my Government. If my Government says it will suspend the work in the demilitarized zone in order to facilitate the deliberations of the Security Couneil, then it will suspend t.~e work accordingly. 1 do not understand some of the observations which have been made from across the table which seem to imply that the Council should have something other than trust or confidence in that declaration. I am certain - and 1 am encouraged to be1ieve this by the observations ofcthe representative of France - that that is not the majority view. 28. 1 do regret that the representative of Syria has entered into some questions of substance, which 1 presume will be before us at a later date, but quite briefly it is not the fact that any work is going on in the zone which is like1y to have an early effect on the water configuration of the area. 29. Nor is it a fact, as he has stated,' that 1 have announced any new position, because on 13 October the Israel Minister .of Foreign Affairs informed the United Nations Chief of Staff, relying upon a conversation of 28 September, that the Israel Govemment was ready to authorize a temporary suspension of the work in the demilitarized zone in order to enable him to clarify the point at issue. That proposaI has. now arise~ in a different form for the purpose of enabling the Security Couneil to proceed with its deliberations. 30. To sum up then, T have given my Government's undertaking that it will order a suspension of this work in the demilitarized zone - a temporary suspensionfor the purpose of enabling the Security Couneil to pursue its deliberations, and that it will do so without prejudice to whatever conclusions of substance relating ta the future the Security Council might reach. 31. Mr. Charles MALIK (Lebanon): 1 think, Mr. President,asyou said, we are approaching a farm of agreement, for which I think we should first of an be grat~ful to the representati.ve of Israel, Mr. Eban. We should congratulate him on the initiative he has diat~ly and that it is a forma1 undertaking, as Mr. Eban has just said,by his own Government. We might indicate, if he agrees - although 1 do not know in what terros as 1 ain siniply quoting from memory what he has just told us - that the whole thing has takeIi place in the form of a response to the consensus of opinion of the Council; sonie such language would be helpful. Whatever wording he suggests seems to me to be very near tothe sort of thing that ought to be acceptable to aU of us, and 1 think in this way we can finish with this matter immediately and start off with a good begimling in this whole affair. ! t is most important that we begin with a spirit of conciliation and mutual understanding. 1 would not insist at a1!on ady particuhr w()rdi.rJ.g" provided itachieved the desired result.

50 far as 1 am concemed, the suggestion made by the representative of France during·his last intervention completely 33. l'anglais): proposition cours ment sous suadés que Î11~ts what 1 said earlier, and if that is to he put into formai language, we shaU he satisfied that our objective is fuUy met. -

Those. who supported the draft resolution submitted by the representative·of Pakistan ·made it very c1ear that what they were interested in, above aIl, was a quick decision ta bring a~ut a stoppage of the work. 1 am quite sure that I.atn not misquoting them when 1 say, now that the representative of Israel has come forward and has not only given his assurance that there will he an immediate stoppage·of the work, but has· gone even furth~r and . given us an assurance of future co-operation in the activities of the Secudty Council, that that renders quite superfluousfurther resolutions on oUr part aiming at an immediate cessation of the work, and that the thing to. do now· is to proceed with the substantive consideration of the matter. 34. de lution qui décision crois le a seront entend de tion reste plus !5.Mr. HOPPENOT (France) (translated from French): 1 do not think that the ISrael representative can he surprised if the Council takes' note, in a form which gives satisfaction to the other party and, l helieve, to most memhers of the Council, of the undertaking he has just·given. . 35. . le seil à Conseil, nous. 36. effet minutes 36. The drait resolution which 1 had in mind for this purpose, the drafting of which will perhaps require a .~ short suspension, would repeat the first tW9 paragraphs 38. For my part, 1 still feel that it is of the utmost importance that the' suggestion of the representative of France he followed, and 1 appeal to the representative of the United States to support this solution. It does nobody any harm. But if we did nothing at an and were to drop this matter where it is now, 1 do not think it would do anybody any good. 39. Therefore, once again 1 appeal to every honourable memher to consider the positive suggestion made by the representative of France so· as t9 permit us, at the heginning of. this very intricate and very delicate affair, at least.to hegin with sorne distant, pale semblance of a positive spirit·of conciliation and positive action. 40. Consequently, 1 still hope against hope ·that the Counci1 will agree to some such language as that suggested by the representative of Fnmce. If we cannot agree on this most simple matter, 1 think it wou1d presage very badly for the ~uture development of this case. 1 do hope, therefore, and without going into any further details that. every one of us will do his best to reach an agreement on the text to be submitted by our colleague from France. 41. Mr. VYSHINSKY (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) (translated from Russian): The Soviet Union for its part regarded the revised draft reso1ution submitted' by the Pakistan delegation [S/3125/Rev.1] as being completely acceptable. After that proposaI, however, came the statement made by the Israel representative who assumed certain definite undertakings in the matter, and Mr. Hoppenot's suggestion that we should take advantage of that statement.' 43. 1 am in complete agl~em.~t with Ml'. Hoppenot's proposaI and, if I have heard the text of ms draft resolution aright, 1 cau say that it is wholly acceptable from our point of view. We consider that we shall be followingthe right course in adopting this draft resolution, since by so doing we shall simplify considerably the Council's work. 44. Ml'. LODGE (United States v1 America) : I think that if. a visitor from Mars were to rome here now, he would he some\vhat perplexed. A11 morning we were discussing the question of stopping the work; the representati';e of Israel has agreed to stop the work, and here we areengaged in an argument tryirig to agree on how to agree. l stilithink that actions speak louder than words and that in the emphasis that we are putting on words at the present time we are mistalàng the shadow for the substance. But I certainly have no objections to the draft resolution wmch has been proposed by France, and l am glad ta reassure the representative of Lebanoll onthatpoint. . travaux; 45. Ml'. TSIANG (China;: M} .ielegation; like aU t4e other delegations here, has recelved the declaration of the;;epresentative of Israel with great satisfaction. That decIaration has lifted this ques4ion of the stoppage of the work above aIl controversy. It has not, however, made tM stoppage of work any less important, and, under thé circumstances, I feel that the approach suggested to ,us by the representative of France is an extremely happy ope. I should, therefore, like to suggest that the President suspend these proceedings for about t,en min1!tes, so that the texts can be prepared and put before us. 46. The PRESIDENT: l have two speakers on my list, and I wonder whether we should not listen to the.m be-"-re. we go into, the que:;tion of whether or 1,10t we ~:~Ju1d~uspend our meeting. 47. Ml'. KYROU(Greece): Perhaps my inter<.rention might. help eventually in the drafting of tms proposaI of our French coUeague. Of course, my delegation is readyto vote for Mf. Hoppenofs proposai and we consider it as a happy approach to the question - just 'h& happy as the dec1aration of cthe reptesentative of Israel. I should, however, suggest twochanges in the dtaft pr<>posed by the representative of France, changès .tbat .Iamquite sure would be acceptable to the,. two partiesconcerned, aswel1as to aIl the members of the Councit. ,As I understgod., mm, Ml'. Hoppenot· would like to retain thefir~t two paragraphs,of the Pakistani proposaI as revised by Sir Gladwyn Jebb. I wonder iUt would not he better to have in the second paragraph a,chatlge, mentioning the wording of Article 40 .of the Charter. The paragraph would be changed to read as fo!1ow's: . :' .,<'De,riraus of. facilitating'·tliëconsideration of the cql1estion, "without •however prejudicing the.' rights, . cIa,ms orposition of the parties cQnr.erned". ?':4&<:-~:MYiseeond'suggestiori referstotll~ 'third para-

1 am very grateful to my Greek colleague for his suggestions, which 1 am glad to support. 1 t.1ùnk it would be most useful to include in the draft resolution the tenns used in Article 40. With regard to the insertion of the adjective "speedy" 1 believe that neither "ztrgent" nor"rapiden would correspond exactly in -::.'1e French text; it would perhaps be better to say "prompte prise en considération". It is indeed in the common interest of both parties that this .question ,does not drag on indefinitely but !s given speedy consideration.

1 think the deliberations of the Council are proceeding under a good augury and that the propoilal of the representative of Fmnce provides a very judicious way of proceeding in the circumstances. 52. There is notlùng particularly unsuitable about the word "speedy':, except for the fact that it is notclear enough, and, although Syria is particularly anxious that this question be consideredas soon as possible, yet the fact that the question of speed is coimected with the suspension of the work might influence the duraûon in the future. Although there is nothingparticularIJ unsuitable about the word, as 1 have said, we would p!'efer, if the United Kingq.om delegation has no objection, not ta insist upon keeping the word "speedy".

1 hope that, by taking what 1 thought would he a helpful initiative, 1 have not plunged the Council into an endless imbroglio of proce:" dure, a.'1d Ishould like to be'very brief. 54. First, although we have no objection to the words concerning "the· rights daims or position of the parties", as suggested by the representative of Greece, l aSSUOle it 1s not his intention to suggest that Article 40 lJj the Charter in itse1f is juridica1ly applicable to the position which we are now discussing. 55. My only other commentis on this question of speed, and here we do have very definite views. My Government's outlook on the substance oitrus question isthat theworkunder disctlssion is legitimate, is con"'" structive, is of enormous economic significance, and is 56. It is my understanding that since the representative of Syria has brought an issue to the Security Council and since, on the strength of that issue, there has been agreement on the suspension of a very important project during the Council's deliberations, he is morally obliged to let us know ïmmediate1y what are the grounds on which he has brought his complaint. Therefore, in spirit and in wording, l would certainly encourage theviewpoint reflected in the observations of the r~presentative of the United Kingdom. 57. The PRESIDENT: May l say that i~ was my intention to suggest to the Council that we should meet on -ibis matter on Friday, 30 Ootober, to start the dis~ cussion of the substance of the .matter. l hope we will then find an expression, in English and in French, that will satisfy everybody. l think we should now recess for fifteen minutes in order to have a text prepared. 58. MI'. VYSHINSKY (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) ,(translated from Russian): l apologizeif l am perhaps out of order, but l should like to say a few words about MI'. Kyrou's 'proposaI which is, l understand, tQ include a reference to Article 40 of the Charter. 59. Since, in the draft resolution submitted by MI'. Hoppenot which we have just been discussing, the Seeurity Council makes no recommendations whatsoever, it seems to me that from both a legal and a logical standpoint, a reference to Article 40 is not only un-' necessary but even impossible. 60. Article 40 in fact states that the Security Council may "caU upon the parties concemed" to comply vd,th provisiona:l measures. But althouglLthe Security Council may "caU upon" the parties, this is not what MI'. Hoppenot proposes. 61: l shouldlike thls fact to beborl1e il1'mîlld when the text of the draft resolution proposed by MI'. Hoppenot is, being drafted. In liis draft resolution he did not propose to "caU upon" Israel to take any action, but to take note of the undertaking given by the IJrael Goverllment. , 62. 1 therefore thinkthat a reference to Article 40 wi)uld not he legally justified. 63. MI'. HOPPENOT (France) (tra1'tslated from French): l should like, briefly, to reassure MI'. Vyshinsky. The text which l have prepared makes no ref~renceto Article 40 of the Charter. The fact that that text côiitains someof the words used in Article 40 should in no'way pe taken to mean that the draft resolu- 'tion wilil b~l: adopted in application of that article. The meeting was suspended at 5.45 p.m. a·nd resumed at 620 p.m. 66. The PRESIDENT: You will find in front of you the French and English texts of the draft resolution submitted by the representative of France [S/3128]. 67. Ml'. VYSHINSKY (Union of Soviet Soeialist Republics) (trànslated from Russian): l should like to draw attention to paragraph 4 of the draft resolution sub~itted by Ml'. Hoppenot, according to which the Security Couneil "Notes with satisfaction the statement madeby the Israel representative at the 631st meeting [of the Security Couneil] regarding the undertaking given by his Government to suspend the works in question during that examination". 68. l should like to know when these works are to be suspended, immediately, in two days or in a week? l think that is important. 69. l should he grateful for information on the point. 70. Ml'. HOPPENOT (France) (transl.ated from .French) : l note, from the consecutive interpreta'c:ioil of Ml'. Vyshinsky's statement, that the question he asks is addressed not to me but to Ml'. Eban. 71. Since theexamination of the question by the Security Couneil has in fact already been in progress two days, l shall merely state that in the view of the French @elegation, which is the author of this draft resolution, the expression "during the urgent examination of the question" meansinlmediately, that is to say, as soon as the suspension is humanly possible and practicable. 72. l presume that this is also the interpretation which the Israel representative would give to it. 73. Ml'. EBAN (Israel): The understanding which has just been formulated by the representative of France is my understanding Of the meaning of my undertaking and of his draft resolution. . - . -74;--1'he-P-RES-I-DKN-'I'-+---Doesany-;-·oth~rrepresentative on the Couneil desire to express an opinion in regard to the draft resolùtion? .' . 75. Ml'. KYROU (Greece): l musi: express my gratification that myFrench colleague, in taking into aeount my second suggestion, has put in the word "urgent" instead of the word "speedy". That was exactly the meaning l had in mind when l suggested th~ word "speedy" - to put it otherwise just the contrary of the wayin which we have proceeded this afternoon.

If no other representative wishes to speak, l shall put the draft resolution submitted 78. l propose that the next meeting. on fuis item be held on Friday aftemoon, 30 October, at 3 o'dock. It was sa deciàed. The meeting rose at 6.35 p.m. FWU:E Editions A. Pedone, Paris V. AlGEllTINA - ..GmIlIE Ediion.., ,Sud.meric.n. S.À., AI'ine 500. Buenos Aires.
