The Security Council,
Recalling its resolutions 340 (1973) of 25 October

2 November 1973,
Having reviewed the functioning of the United Nations Emergency Force set up under these resolutions
as reported by the Secretary-General,
Noting from the report of the Secretary-General
of 1 April 1974 (S/11248) that in the present circumstances the operation of the United Nations Emergency Force is still required,

have contributed troops to the United Nations Emergency Force and to those which have made voluntary

Security Council regarding the establishment and functioning of the United Nations Emergency Force;
3. Commends the United Nations Emergency
Force for its contribution to efforts to achieve a just
and durable peace in the Middle East;
4. Notes the Secretary-General’s view that the disengagement of Egyptian and Israeli forces is only a
first step towards the settlement of the Middle East
problem and that the continued operation of the United

sector but also to assist, if required, in further efforts
for the establishment of a just and durable peace in the
Middle East and accordingly decides that, in accordance
with the recommendation in paragraph 68 of the Secretary-General’s report of 1 April 1974, the mandate
of the United Nations Emergency Force, approved by

shall be extended for a further period of six months,
that is, until 24 October 1974;
5. Notes with satisfaction that the Secretary-General
is exerting every effort to solve in a satisfactory way the
problems of the United Nations Emergency Force,
including the urgent ones referred to in paragraph 71

6. Further notes with satisfaction the Secretary-General’s intention to keep under constant review the
required strength of the Force with a view to making
reductions and economies when the situation allows;
7. Calls upon all Member States, particularly the
