Having examined the report of the Secretary-General on the activities of

circumstances the operation of the United Nations Emergency Force is still
required,

lasting peace in the Middle East;
2. Commends the United Nations Emergency Force and those Governments
supplying contingents to it for their contribution towards the achievement of a

function as an integral and efficient military unit in the whole Egypt-Israel

of the various contingents, as stated in paragraph 26 of the report of the
Secretary-General (S/11536) and requests the Secretary-General to continue his
efforts to that end.
