REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL IN PURSUANCE
OF SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 516 (1982)

Addendum

         1. Since the submission of the Secretary-General's report of l August 1982 (S/15334), intensive efforts have continued both in the field and at United Nations Headquarters for the speedy implementation of Security Council resolution 516 (1982).

In this connection, the IDF Liaison Officer has informed the Chief of Staff of UNTSO that until a decision is taken by the Government of Israel on Security Council resolution 516 (1982), no co-operation will be extended to UNTSO personnel in the execution of that resolution.

To carry out their observation duties in an area of conflict, they normally set up observation posts on both sides of the front line, carry out patrol activities when necessary and at all times work in close liaison with the parties concerned.
