Mr. Ibrahim
I wish to explain my delegation’s affirmative vote on the resolution which the Council has just adopted. ln my statement yesterday I stated clearly the position of my delegation that:
“Nothing short of applying sanctions against I’srael will make Israel pause and think twice before it eInbarks on any similar adventure, or make it learn that this Council has political will, real authority and sel…

Mr. Jain
I should like to say a few words in explanation of our affirmative vote on the draft resolution
Mr. Anwar Sani
I shall be extremely brief, as my delegation explained its views at yesterday afternoon’s meeting of the Council [1738th meeting].
37. The resolution just adopted does not entirely reflect those views. My delegation would have preferred a more strongly worded resolution in condemnation of the Israeli action. But, apparently, the text which has been adopted by us proved to be the minimum acceptab…
Mr. Komatina
Before I give my delegation’s explanation of vote, let me take this opportunity to greet Sir Donald Maitland, the new representative of the United Kingdom. I am sure that my delegation will continue to enjoy the excellent relations and co-operation with the United Kingdom delegation that we enjoyed when it was headed by his worthy predecessor, Sir Colin Crowe, who earned such a warm place in the …
The President
As no other member of the Council wishes to explain his vote at this stage, I shall put aside nlg gavel as President of the Council and explain my vote as representative of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
47, Our vote today is a continuation of our efforts to extend the rule of law. The United States has consistently joined other members of this Council to express its grave concern over the threat…
Mr. Tekoah
The resolution adopted by the Security Council is the customary one-sided text this organ has been producing on the Middle East situation. It closes its eyes completely to the grave menace of Arab terrorism which necessitated Israel’s defensive action on 10 August.
55. This is not unusual for the Council which during the entire 25 years of the Middle East conflict has been unable to make up its …
Mr. Ghorra
Allow me at the outset, Mr. President, to express to you and to all members of the
64. It has been said by some of our colleagues around this table that this resolution represents for my delegation a minimum. In a way it does. But, on the other hand, I must express our satisfaction at the fact that it was adopted unanimously and that in very clear terms it has condemned the Government of Israel …
The President
I now call on the representative of Israel, who wishes to speak in exercise of his right of reply.
Mr. Tekoai-I
It is possible that the observations made by the representative of Lebanon regarding Israel’s not requesting a meeting of the Security Council might make some impression in the soaks of his capital, but he is speaking to representatives of Member States with sufficient memory to know that for years and years, in every single instance when Israel did appeal to the Security CounciI for action again…
The President
I call next on the representative of Lebanon to exercise his right of reply.
Mr. Ghorra
To conclude this debate, I shall make only a couple of remarks on what we have just heard from the Israeli representative.
85. Ambassador Tekoah wants me to look again at the verbatim records of meetings of the Security Council where we have discussed many aspects of the Middle East question. Well, we a11 know what we have discussed here; we know what has happened. But in his statements, such as…
Mr. Tekoah
It is not my intention lc prolong this discussion; I have only one brief observation. If Ambassador Ghorra really has respect for members of the Security Council and their Governments, he must UIKI~P stand, I am sure, that the representatives around this table know that there is no relationship whatever between his description of the aims of the terrorist organizations headed by criminals such as…
The President
I call on the representative of Lebanon. The meetingrose at 5.10 p.m.

The Security Council,
Having considered the agenda contained in document S/Agenda/1736,
Having noted the contents of the letter dated 11 August 1973 from the Permanent Representative of Lebanon (S/10983),
Having heard the statement of the representative of Lebanon concerning the hijacking by the Israeli air force of a Lebanese civilian airliner on lease to Iraqi Airways,
Gravely concerned that such an act constitutes interference with international civil aviation and a violation of the Charter of the United Nations,
Recognizing that such an act could jeopardize the lives and safety of passengers and crew and violates the provisions of international conventions safeguarding civil aviation,
Recalling its resolutions 262 (1968) of 31 December 1968 and 286 (1970),
1. Condemns the Government of Israel for violating Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity and for the forcible diversion of a Lebanese airliner from Lebanon and for the forcible seizure by the Israeli air force of Lebanon's air space;
2. Considers that these actions by Israel constitute a violation of the provisions of the Lebanese-Israeli Armistice Agreement of 1949, the cease-fire resolutions of the Security Council, the principles of international law and morality;
3. Calls on the International Civil Aviation Organization to take adequate measures to safeguard international civil aviation against these actions;
4. Calls on Israel to desist from any and all acts that violate Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity and endanger the safety of international civil aviation and solemnly warns Israel that if such acts are repeated, the Council will consider taking adequate steps to enforce its resolutions.
