6 Security Council Resolution 509 -1982-- 6 June 1982

6 Jun 1982
 VOLUME 8: 1982-1984
 
 

6. Security Council Resolution 509 (1982), 6 June 1982.

As word reached New York of the Israeli advance into Lebanon, the Security Council met and heard a report from the Secretary General based on UNIFIL messages describing the Israeli advance. The Council then adopted unanimously resolution 509. It should be noted that there was no mention of the P.L.O. and that organization was not required to cease fire. The P. L 0. was presumably included in the term "all parties" of operative paragraph 2. Text:

The Security Council,

Recalling its resolutions 425 (1978) of 19 March 1978 and 508 (1982) of 5 June 1982,

Gravely concerned at the situation as described by the Secretary-General in his report to the Council,

Reaffirming the need for strict respect for the territorial integrity, sovereignty and political independence of Lebanon within its internationally recognized boundaries,

1. Demands that Israel withdraw all its military forces forthwith and unconditionally to the internationally recognized boundaries of Lebanon;

2. Demands that all parties observe strictly the terms of paragraph I of resolution 508 (1982) which called on them to cease immediately and simultaneously all military activities within Lebanon and across the Lebanese-Israeli border;

3. Calls on all parties to communicate to the Secretary-General their acceptance of the present resolution within 24 hours;

4. Decides to remain seized of the question.
