The Security Council,

Reaffirming its resolutions 508 (1982) and 509 (1982),

Reaffirming also its resolution 512 (1982), which, inter alia, calls upon all
the parties to the conflict to respect the rights of the civilian populations,

Seriously concerned at the constant deterioration of the situation in
Lebanon, resulting from the violation of the sovereignty, integrity, independence
and unity of that country,

Profoundly apprehensive of the dangers of extension of the fighting within
Beirut, its capital,

1. Demands that all the parties observe an immediate cessation of
hostilities throughout Lebanon:

2. Demands the immediate withdrawal of the Israeli forces engaged round
Beirut, to a distance of 10 kilometres from the periphery of that city, as a first
step towards the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon, and the
simultaneous withdrawal of the Palestinian armed forces from Beirut, which
shall retire to the existing camps;

3. Supports all efforts by the Government of Lebanon to ensure Lebanese
sovereignty throughout the territory and the integrity and independence of
Lebanon within its internationally recognized frontiers;

4. Calls upon all armed elements in the Beirut area to respect and abide
by the exclusive authority of the Government of Lebanon;

5. Supports the Government of Lebanon in its will to regain exclusive control
of its capital and, to that end, to install its armed forces which shall take
up positions within Beirut and interpose themselves on its periphery.

United Nations military observers, by agreement with the Government of Lebanon,
