REPORT OF THE SECRETARY-GENERAL IN PURSUANCE
OF SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION 520 (1982)

         1.This report is submitted in pursuance of Security Council resolution 520 (1982) adopted at 1920 hours (New York time) on 17 September 1982, in which the Council asked the Secretary-General to keep it informed of developments as soon as possible and not later than 24 hours after the adoption of the resolution.

         2.Immediately after the adoption of resolution 520 (1982), I cabled its text to the Foreign Minister of Israel with a request that the letter should send to me before 20.00 hours GMT on 18 September 1982 information on action taken or envisaged by the Government of Israel to implement that resolution, as well as any other relevant information. I also instructed General Erskine, the Chief of Staff of UNTSO to follow-up this request with Israeli authorities. Should the Israeli authorities agree to co-operate on increasing the strength of the Observer Group Beirut (OGB), General Erskine was prepared to make immediate arrangements, in consultation with the Lebanese Government, to send additional observers to Beirut.

He reiterated that the Government of Israel has instructed the IDF to evacuate its positions in West Beirut when the Lebanese Army was ready to assume control over them in co-ordination with the IDF. Discussions to that end between Israeli and Lebanese Army officers had been proposed by the Government of Israel and accepted by the Government of Lebanon. In these discussions, plans would be exchanged for the evacuation of the IDF from West Beirut.

         Subsequently, the following addendum to the above reply was received from the Israeli Foreign Ministry by UNTSO Jerusalem:

         "Already, in the course of the day, these discussions resulted in several positions being handed over by the IDF to the Lebanese Army, including those in the street of the Banks. Also today, the IDF surrounded the camps, when it became aware of what had happened there during the night, so as to prevent repetition.

         4. Since that time I received, at 16.40 hours, the following information from Ambassador Blum, the Permanent Representative of Israel:
         "The IDF were deployed west of the camps and had left the access to the East open in the expectation that the Lebanese Army would enter the camps and take up
