UN General Assembly
1968

215. We know that Mr. Jarring is fully aware that the purpose of his mission is “to establish and maintain contacts with the States concerned in order to promote agreement and assist efforts to achieve a peaceful and accepted settlement" under the terms of resolution 242 (1967) unanimously approved by the Security Council on 22 November 1967. As the Secretary-General points out in the Introduction to his Annual Report, that resolution “was in itself a considerable achievement and provided a basis for a constructive and peaceful approach both by the parties and by the international community to the bitter problems of the Middle East.” [A/7201/Add.1, para. 47].
