RELEVANT QUOTE
Resolution 337 (15 August 1973) --  Gravely concerned that the hijacking is serious interference with international aviation and violation of UN Charter, and recognizing the action could have jeopardized lives of passengers and crew, and violates international conventions safeguarding civil aviation, the Security Council condemns Israel for violating Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity with hijacking, and considers that these actions violate 1949 Armistice Agreement, cease-fire resolutions, provisions of UN Charter, and international conventions of civil aviation, and principles of international law and morality, and thus calls on International Civil Aviation Organization to reference UN Resolutions when planning measures to protect international aviation, and calls on Israel to desist from further violations of Lebanon sovereignty and territorial integrity, and endangering civil aviation, and if Israel does not, then the Council will consider steps necessary to enforce its resolutions. Adopted unanimously.

 "Having heard the statement of the representative of Lebanon concerning the violation of Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity and the hijacking, by the Israeli air force, of a Lebanese civilian airliner on lease to Iraqi Airways,

Gravely concerned that such an act carried out by Israel, a Member of the United Nations, constitutes a serious interference with international civil aviation and a violation of the Charter of the United Nations,

Recognizing that such an act could jeopardize the lives and safety of passengers and crew and violates the provisions of international conventions safeguarding civil aviation,

Recalling its resolutions 262 (1968) of 31 December 1968 and 286 (1970) of 9 September 1970,
  • 1. Condemns the Government of Israel for violating Lebanon's sovereignty and territorial integrity and for the forcible diversion and seizure by the Israeli air force of a Lebanese airliner from Lebanon's air space;

Considers that these actions by Israel constitute a violation of the Lebanese-Israeli Armistice Agreement of 1949, the cease-fire resolutions of the Security Council of 1967, the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations, the international conventions on civil aviation and the principles of international law and morality;
  • 3. Calls on the International Civil Aviation Organization to take due account of this resolution when considering adequate measures to safeguard international civil aviation against these actions;
