The Security Council,
Taking note of the statements made regarding the invasion of Panama,
Reaffirming the sovereign and inalienable right of Panama to determine freely
its social, economic and political system and to develop its international
relations without any form of foreign intervention, interference, subversion,
coercion or threat,
Recalling that, in conformity with Article 2, paragraph 4, of the Charter of
the United Nations, all Member States are obliged to refrain in their international
relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or
political independence of any State, or in any other manner inconsistent with the
purposes of the United Nations,

2. Demands the immediate cessation of the intervention and the withdrawal of
the United States armed forces from Panama;
3. Calls upon all States to uphold and respect the sovereignty, independence
and territorial integrity of Panama;
