Guyana, Iraq, Mauritania, United Republic of Cameroon and
United Republic of Tanzania: draft resolution
The Security Council,
Having considered the question inscribed in its agenda at the 1859th meeting,
Having noted the contents of the letter of the Permanent Representative of
Lebanon (S/11892) and of the letter of the Permanent Representative of Egypt
(S/11893),
Having heard the statements of the Permanent Representatives of Lebanon,
Egypt, the Syrian Arab Republic and the representative of the Palestine Liberation
Organization,
Recalling its previous relevant resolutions,
Deploring Israel's defiance of these resolutions,
Grieved at the tragic loss of human life caused by indiscriminate and
massive Israeli air attacks,
Gravely concerned about the deteriorating situation resulting from Israel's
violation of Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity and of Security
Council resolutions,
Convinced that Israeli massive air attacks against Lebanon were
premeditative in nature,
1. Strongly condemns the Government of Israel for its premeditated air
attacks against Lebanon in violation of its obligations under the United Nations
Charter and of Security Council resolutions;
2. Calls upon Israel to desist forthwith from all military attacks against
Lebanon;
3. Issues once again a solemn warning to Israel that if such attacks were
repeated, the Council would have to consider taking appropriate steps and measures
to give effect to its decisions.
