FNs sikkerhedsråds
resolution 446 (22. marts 1979)
UN Security Council resolution 446
The Security Council,
Having heard the statement of the Permanent
Representative of Jordan and other statements made before
the Council,
Stressing the urgent need to achieve a comprehensive,
just and lasting peace in the Middle East,
Affirming once more that the Fourth Geneva
Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons
in Time of War of 12 August 1949 is applicable to the
Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967, including
Jerusalem,
1. Determines that the policy and practices
of Israel in establishing settlements in the Palestinian
and other Arab territories occupied since 1967 have
no legal validity and constitute a serious obstruction
to achieving a comprehensive, just and lasting peace
in the Middle East;
2. Strongly deplores the failure of Israel
to abide by Security Council resolutions 237 (1967)
of 14 June 1967, 252 (1968) of 21 May 1968 and 298 (1971)
of 25 September 1971 and the consensus statement by
the President of the Security Council on 11 November
1976 and General Assembly resolutions 2253 (ES-V) and
2254 (ES-V) of 4 and 14 July 1967, 32/5 of 28 October
1977 and 33/113 of 18 December 1978;
3. Calls once more upon Israel, as the occupying
Power, to abide scrupulously by the 1949 Fourth Geneva
Convention, to rescind its previous measures and to
desist from taking any action which would result in
changing the legal status and geographical nature and
materially affecting the demographic composition of
the Arab territories occupied since 1967, including
Jerusalem, and, in particular, not to transfer parts
of its own civilian population into the occupied Arab
territories;
4. Establishes a Commission consisting of
three members of the Security Council, to be appointed
by the President of the Council after consultations
with the members of the Council, to examine the situation
relating to settlements in the Arab territories occupied
since 1967, including Jerusalem;
5. Requests the Commission to submit its report
to the Security Council by 1 July 1979;
6. Requests the Secretary-General to provide
the Commission with the necessary facilities to enable
it to carry out its mission.
7. Decides to keep the situation in the occupied
territories under constant and close scrutiny and to
reconvene in July 1979 to review the situation in the
light of the findings of the Commission.
Adopted at the 2134th meeting by 12 votes to none,
with 3 abstentions (Norway, United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of America).
