The present report on the United Nations Operations in Cyprus covers developments from 1 June 1973 to 30 November 1973 and brings up to date the record of the activities of the United Nations Peace-keeping Force in Cyprus (UNFICYP) pursuant to the mandate laid down in Security Council resolution 186 (196*0 of k March 196U and subsequent resolutions of the Council relating to Cyprus. S/11137 English Page 6 opportunity to place on record my deep appreciation and that of the Commander and all ranks of UNFICYP, both past and present, for the outstanding services rendered "by all members of the Austrian Field Hospital during the years 196U-1973. 7. To sum up, the following changes in the composition of the Force took place during the period covered by this report: (a) Austria: The Jith Austrian Battalion replaced the 3rd Battalion. The Austrian Field Hospital was withdrawn and its place taken by a smaller UHFICYP medical centre, for which Austria provided the medical personnel. At the end of October, l8l officers and men of the Austrian battalion were transferred to Egypt to form part of UWEF. Replacements for UNFICYP arrived in Cyprus on 15, 29 and 30 November. (b) Canada: The 2nd Battalion, Royal Canadian Regiment, replaced the 3rd Battalion, The Royal 22nd Hegiment. (c) Denmark: The 20th Battalion replaced the 19th Battalion. (d) Finland: A partial rotation took place twice during the period. The incoming troops form the 20th Battalion, of which 208 officers and men were diverted to UNEF. Replacements for UHFICYP arrived in Cyprus on 7 and 8 November. (e) Ireland: The 25th Infantry Group replaced the 2Uth Infantry Group. This Group, numbering 130, was sent to UHEF at the end of October. Ho replacement is foreseen for the time being. (f) Sweden: The 51st Battalion replaced the 50th Battalion, of which 183 officers and men had been dispatched to OTEF. (g) United Kingdom: The 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards (armoured unit in an infantry role) replaced the 1st Battalion, The Parachute Regiment. "A" Squadron, l6th/5th, The Queen's Royal Lancers, replaced "B" Squadron, The Blues and Royals. 65 Squadron, Royal Corps of Transport, replaced 38 Squadron, Royal Corps of Transport. 8. The number of permanently manned military observation posts has been reduced to 53. (See paragraph'31 below). 9. In connexion with the non-replacement of the Irish infantry group, a redeployment has taken place. The Austrian contingent has moved from Paphos District to replace the Irish contingent in Larnaca sector and the British contingent in Kophinou sector, the two sectors together now forming Larnaca district. The British contingent has taken over Paphos district, which, together with Limassol district, forms Limassol zone. In addition, responsibility for conducting the daily United Nations convoys on the Kyrenia Road has been taken over fully by UNCIVPOL, which previously exercised this in conjunction with the Finnish contingent. The Force is now deployed as follows: (see attached map). S/11137 English Page 7 I HQ OTFICYP, including; HQ UHFICYP'civilian police (UNCIVPOL) - Nicosia Combined HQ staff Force reserve (British reconnaissance squadron less one troop) Force logistic and support units (elements of Austrian and British contingents) Nicosia district Canadian contingent * Austrian civilian police Famagiista district Swedish contingent i Swedish civilian police Larnaca district Austrian contingent Swedish civilian police Danish civilian police „ Limassol zone British infantry "battalion One troop British reconnaissance squadron Australian civilian police Lefka district Danish contingent Danish civilian police Kyrenia district Finnish contingent Austrian civilian police 10. The number of UNCIVPOL stations and substations has remained unchanged during the period covered by this report. 11. The Force remains under the command of Major-General D. Prem Cha.nd. The Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Cyprus continues to be Mr. B, F. Osorio-Tafall.. S/11137 English Page 8 Casualties 12. During the period under review, UHFICYP suffered no casualties attributable to intercommunal incidents. Two accidental deaths occurred. One British soldier died and one British officer was killed in a motor car accident. Discipline 13. The over-all discipline and bearing of the officers and other ranks of the United Rations Peace-keeping Force has continued to be of a high order and reflects credit on the contingent commanders, their staffs and the armed forces of the contributing nations. B. Plan for the reduction of UHFICYP lU. In my last report to the Security Council I stated that I and my colleagues had been studying ways and means of reducing the United Rations commitment in Cyprus in terms both of finance and manpower, and added: "In my next report to tjie Council and in light of developments in the coming months5 I intend to make appropriate recommendations in this regard, taking into account political and military, as well as financial considerations. The feasibility of any such move will, of course, depend to a large extent on the progress of the intercommunal talks. Meantime, within the existing framework, I plan as soon as possible to make such economies as can be achieved without jeopardizing the effectiveness of the operation" (3/109^0, para. 99). 15. After consultations with the Permanent Missions of the countries contributing contingents, I presented to them in September 1973 a plan, based on the recommendations of the Force Commander, for the first phase of the economy measures which were to be carried out within the existing framework. The Permanent Missions of Cyprus., Greece and Turkey were also consulted. With the concurrence of the contributing Governments, the plan for the first phase has now been almost fully implemented. The resulting reductions in strength for the various contingents of UHFICYP., as adjusted to take account of the fact that the Irish infantry group has been dispatched to UHEF and will not be replaced in UHFICYP for the time being, will total U39 all ranks by 15 December. 16. Assuming that the present level of stability and security in the intercommunal situation remains unchanged or improves, it is my opinion, based on an assessment by the Force Commander., that these reductions will not jeopardize the effectiveness of the Force in discharging the mandate as laid down by the Security Council in resolution 186 (196U). Nor do I consider that there is need to alter the modus operandi of the Force or its basic deployment except as has been made necessary by the non-replacement of the Irish infantry group. S/11137 English Page 9 IT. In considering ways and means of achieving further reductions of the United Hations commitment in Cyprus, I have had to "bear in mind the advice of the Force Commander that such reductions would necessarily involve certain changes in the basic deployment and modus operandi of the Force. Such changes, however, should not impair the ability of the Force to perform effectively its necessary peace- keeping function as appropriate in the changed circumstances prevailing in Cyprus, provided certain prerequisites are met. 18. The main prerequisite would be a firm understanding that the parties directly concerned in Cyprus will maintain, and if possible strengthen, in co-operation with UNFICYP, their present policy of ensuring that significant intercommunal clashes, especially shooting incidents, are prevented.

    PREMESSA AGLI ATTI DELLO OTTAVO REGIONAL SEAPOWER SYMPOSIUM DI VENEZIA del Capo di Stato Maggiore della Marina Il Capo di Stato Maggiore della Marina Il Regional Seapower Symposium (RSS) di Venezia è l’evento che da ormai quattordici anni rappresenta uno dei principali strumenti utilizzati dalla Marina Militare per contribuire allo sviluppo della partnership internazionale e contribuire alla sicurezza marittima globale. Se è vero che il numero ed il livello dei partecipanti costituiscono un’indicazione attendibile dell’importanza di un evento, l’ottava edizione del RSS - che ha visto rappresentanti di 44 Marine che operano nel Mediterraneo Allargato e 20 Organizzazioni Internazionali e realtà militari e civili incontrarsi nella cornice lagunare – può senza dubbio essere definita un successo. Partendo dalla convinzione che il Dialogo e la Cooperazione conferiscano alla Maritime Security un valore aggiunto, rappresentandone un vero e proprio fattore abilitante, i lavori delle sessioni hanno analizzato, da differenti prospettive, il contributo di questo fondamentale binomio a concetti di grande attualità nello scenario marittimo internazionale: la Maritime Situational Awareness, le Maritime Security Operations e la Maritime Capacity Building. L’efficace combinazione di tali concetti consente di conseguire la Maritime Security in senso lato, fattore – quest’ultimo - che sta influenzando e condizionando l’organizzazione operativa delle Marine di tutto il mondo. Le discussioni, gli interventi e gli eventi collaterali di questo Simposio hanno evidenziato l’importanza di una partnership forte ed attiva - sul versante internazionale come su quello nazionale - per un’efficace risposta e contrasto alle sfide che l’attuale ambiente marittimo in continua evoluzione ci pone: la pirateria, il terrorismo e tutte le altre attività illecite che trovano in mare il proprio spazio di manovra rappresentano gli esempi più attuali.

My research would not have been possible without Dr. Denise Natali’s guidance and enthusiasm, input from Dr. Judith Yaphe and Matthew Reed, and feedback from Dr. Marc Lynch. I would also like to extend my deep gratitude to those individuals who took the time to meet with me both abroad and in Washington. Their insights shed light on this dynamic and complex topic. And finally, thanks to all my family and friends for the support. 2 Introduction Since natural gas was discovered in the eastern Mediterranean’s Levant Basin in 2009, policymakers, analysts, and energy experts have talked about the potential for this resource to change the regional geopolitical status quo.1 Israel, which boasts commercial export potential for natural gas, has reformulated bilateral ties with Greece and Cyprus since the discovery of hydrocarbons, while political relations with Turkey—but not economic ties—have significantly deteriorated.
