He wished to emphasize his Government's view that in expending these resources maximum efficiency and economy will be exercised, in accordance with the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. The Permanent Representative of the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic, Ambassador Tchernouchtchenko, called a little later to inform that his Government had decided to pay an amount of $184,OOO for the period 25 April-24 October 1975 and $91,080 for the first year of operation of UNEF. Shortly thereafter, the Permanent Representative of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, Ambassador Martynenko, gave the corresponding figures of $684,OOO and $338,580 for his Government. I assured the three Ambassadors that the information provided by them would be promptly communicated to the Secretary-General, which I did on Saturday, 27 December. I also informed Mr. Davidson on 29 December. He had received intimation of the payments from the Office of Financial Services and told me that now the three Governments had paid all the outstanding dues under this account. Rafeeuddin Ahmed 0 2O October 1975 Notes for the Meeting of UNEF Troop contributing Countries The report on UNEF was circulated last Friday evening as Document S/11849. The most important recent development is the conclusion of a new interim agreement between Egypt and Israel. 2. in the conclusion of the report, the Secretary-General has recommended a further extension of the UNEF mandate. In so doing, he has referred to the relevant provisions of the new agreement. Those provisions are contained in article 5 of the Agreement, which reads "UNEF is essential and shall continue its functions, and its mandate shall be extended annually". -7 in the report, *i*»*> jg^y-gj-aTy-rigngigai hal/^outlined the functions entrusted to UNEF by the new agreement and the additional UNEF personnel required in this connexion. In addition to limited increases of the Canadian and Polish logistics contingents, some 75O all ranks would be required. After careful study, it is considered that the best way of achieving this increase is to reinforce^by one_ company___each of the present non-logistic contingents of UNEF.

In the concluding observations, I am intending to include the following two sentences in relation to the extension of the mandate of UNEF: "Both parties have requested that the mandate of UNEF be extended for a period of one year. I there- fore recommend that the Security Council extend the mandate of UNEF for the period indicated." Before circulating this report, I should be most grateful to have a confirmation from you that this formulation is acceptable.

LiiirJ lijixAJj COUNCIL 19 August 19T5 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH NOTE BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL 1. On k August 1975, the President of the Security Council received a communication from the Secretary-General, which read as follows: "I should like to inform the members of the Council of my thinking as regards the future co-ordination of peace-keeping operations in the Middle East. "There are at present three peace-keeping operations of different kinds in the Middle East area, namely, UWTSO, UNEF and UNDOF, which deal with related problems and share certain common services. There would be, I believe, great advantage in establishing a co-ordinating mechanism for their activities and administration. Since the constitutional origins and the mandates and functions of these three operations are different, it is obviously not possible to unify them, and they will maintain their operational identity. However, I believe that it would be of advantage to all concerned, including the parties themselves, the countries providing contingents and also the United Nations, if a greater degree of co-ordination among the three operations could be established. Such an arrangement should also make it possible to some extent to streamline the administrative and logistical set-up. "In the light of the above, I propose to appoint Lieutenant-General Ensio Siilasvuo, who is currently the Commander of UNEF, as the Chief "Co-ordinator of UNTSO, UNEF and UNDOF operations in the Middle East. It is also my intention, if the Council so consents, to appoint Major-General Bengt Liljestrand, who is at present Chief of Staff of UNTSO, as Commander of UNEF. As the Council is already aware, Major-General Hannes Philipp has been appointed as Commander of UNDOF. For the time being, in view of the somewhat restricted nature of its current activities, I believe that UNTSO could be run adequately by the existing staff in Jerusalem. General Siilasvuo and his small staff would utilize the existing accommodation, communications and facilities of the headquarters of UNTSO. General Siilasvuo would continue as necessary to discharge his functions in relation to the Military Working Group of the Geneva Peace Conference on the Middle East and would be responsible for liaison and contact with the parties on important substantive matters relating to peace-keeping in the Middle East. "Should the Council be agreeable to the above proposals, my intention would be to put them into force as soon as possible." 75-16226 /...

Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) of 16 July 1975 (S/11753), Expressing concern at the continued state of tension in the area and the lack of progress towards the achievement of a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, 1.

    FIIA REPORT 32 FIIA REPORT 32 Global Global networks of mediation networks of Prospects and avenues for Finland as a peacemaker mediation Touko Piiparinen and Ville Brummer (eds.) This report analyses the evolving field of global peace mediation and examine different institutional solutions, cooperation mechanisms and Prospects and avenues for Finland as a peacemaker modes of action which Finland could adopt to perform successful mediation and to develop its mediation capacities. Touko Piiparinen and Ville Brummer (eds.) Today’s peace mediation involves a greater number and diversity of actors than ever before. States can no longer function as unitary actors, utilising governmental resources and official structures alone. Rather, states are embedded in global networks of regional and non-governmental actors such as local civil society actors and private diplomacy organisations, which they have to rely on in implementing mediation and negotiation processes. Therefore, the interface between official and unofficial sectors is becoming an ever more timely research object in the study of mediation. The present report will first aim to clarify the conceptual and theoretical framework of global networks of mediation and analyse their operations and structures. Upon that basis, the report will proceed to examine different approaches of states in mediation, their linkages to other actors and particularly Finland’s prospects as a peacemaker.

In secret, even before the Nixon government began an airlift to Business as Usual Israel, the Dutch government had already sent a substantial amount of weaponry like ammunition and spare parts to Israel. Within the EC the Dutch government vetoed Duco Hellema | Cees Wiebes | Toby Witte a more pro-Arab policy. The Arab oil producing countries punished The Netherlands by imposing an oil embargo. T he Netherlands and the Oil Crisis The embargo seemed to threaten the Dutch position in the international oil sector. However, within two months it turned out that oil continued to flow to Rotterdam. The The Netherlands Dutch, therefore, rejected French plans for a more interventionist EC energy policy. Atlanticism and liberalism were the key words of the Dutch policy. It was business as usual. and the Oil Crisis This book is the result of intensive research in all relevant Dutch archives. The authors had free access to many still classified governmental and private files. The result is Business as Usual a surprising analysis of the oil crisis of 1973, and of the Dutch role in particular.

  • "The 1973 War and the Formation of Israeli POW Policy – a Watershed
    Alexander Bligh, "The 1973 War and the Formation of Israeli POW Policy – A Watershed Line"? in Udi Lebel and Eyal Lewin eds., The 1973 Yom Kippur War and the Reshaping of Israeli Civil-Military Relations (Lanham, MD: Lexicon, 2015): 121-146. Pictures of seized enemy soldiers are always featured in the news media. An enemy soldier taken prisoner, let alone dozens or hundreds of them, is universally seen as a humiliation of the party sending these troops to the battlefield. Whereas taking prisoners of war (POWs) indicates strength and deterrence, their release results from the asymmetry in diplomatic power between the winning and losing parties. Consequently, the issue of POWs raises at least two questions: what should be the criteria for taking POWs during military clashes as opposed to disarming them and sending them off, and what should be the mechanism employed and the prices paid to secure their release? These matters have major implications for national morale during and after conflict. Another, closely related topic is the intelligence value of POWs and their degree of exposure once they are repatriated and can assist their army in damage control and the rebuilding of systems different from the ones they have compromised. All these considerations are further compounded by strong pressures from POWs’ families and, in democratic societies, from the news media as well. Thus, any study of POW-related issues is complicated and highly sensitive. Questions arising from any such study would include military tactics and strategy, ad hoc and long-range diplomatic considerations, a possible price scale for any exchange, and above all, moral and humanitarian concerns.
