`Arabs Have No Right to Invoke UN Charter', Eban Tells UN Assembly
(Continued from Page 1)
Eban said the stand taken at
the Arab Khartoum summit meet-
ing of "non-recognition, no nego-
tiations and no peace with Israel"
deprived the Arabs of the right to
invoke the United Nations Char-
ter. He urged the international
community to stand firm and thus
promote an Arab understanding of
the need to pass from two decades
of war to peace.
The Israeli foreign minister
charged that there had been a
propaganda campaign about the
West Bank residents who "moved
without concern across the Jordan
as a result of Hussein's wanton
war." These people were free and
thousands have returned, he noted,
"but there is relative silence about
the Jewish communities, especially
in Egypt, whose members are not
free to move because they are held
in conditions of cruelty in concen-
tration camps for no reason or pur.
pose except o' sheer malice."
Turning to the subject of Jeru-
salem, Eban drew attention
to the fact that Jewish religious
institutions and holy places had
suffered destruction and sacrilege
under the Jordanians and coin-
' mented that "not a single word
of criticism was directed against
a regime which made Jerusalem
a military frontier, which sepa-
rated its citizens into two hostile

camps and which, by obstruction
of access, desecrated some of the
highest and noblest sanctities in
the history of mankind." Now,
he said, "after 20 sordid years of
division, war and sacrilege, there
is unity, peace and the assur-
ances of access to the holy
places."
Eban commented on the new at-
tack made by Soviet Foreign Minis-
ter Andrei A. Gromyko in the gen-
eral debate Friday and pointed out
that the General Assembly and the
Security Council had previously re-
jected all Gromyko's assertions. He
then charged that "the tension
which exploded in the Middle East
last June was largely of Soviet
manufacture," listing the Soviet
arms shipments to the Arabs, the
Soviet policy in the Security Coun-
cil of blocking criticism of Arab
aggression, and finally, the charge
that a false Soviet report of Israeli
troop concentrations on the Syrian
frontier had influenced Nasser of
Egypt to the actions that led to the
outbreak of hostilities.
Earlier, a Soviet-Arab attempt
to convert a 17-year effort of the
assembly's legal committee to come
up with a definition of aggression
into an anti-Israel maneuver was
defeated and the question of defini-
tion was referred back to the legal
committee. Speaking in the general
debate, the Czechoslovak spokes-
man announced that his country
supported the Tito proposals for
a Middle East solution which Israel
had previously rejected.
Jordan, on a point of order, pro-
tested Israel's action last Saturday
in deporting an East Jerusalem
Moslem official to Jordan. Egypt,
in a letter to the president of the
Security Council, charged Israel
with a series of seven violations
of the, cease-fire agreement in the
Suez Canal area between Sept. 5
and 21.
Lt. Gen. Odd Bull, the UN sec-
retary-general's cease-fire repre-
sentative in the Middle East,
blamed Israel Tuesday for start-
ing shooting •at Egyptian posi-
tions Monday in the Suez Canal
area.
A cease-fire, arranged through a
UN observer, ended the shooting.
Eban, who left New York Tues-
day for Paris, will try to arrange
a meeting with French President
Charles de Gaulle, according to
Israeli sources here.
Eban will spend one day in Paris
on his way to Strassbourg to ad-
dress the Council of Europe, and
will return to New York after the
Strassbourg address.
British Foreign Secretary George
Brown declared Tuesday that "Bri-
tain does not accept war as a means
of settling disputes nor that a state
should be allowed to extend its
frontiers as a result of war. This
means that Israel must withdraw
but, equally, Israel's neighbors
must recognize Israel's right to ex-
ist and Israel must enjoy security
within its frontiers."
Brown said "what we must work
for in this area is a durable peace,
the renunciation of all aggressive
designs and an end to policies in-
consistent with peace."
Discussing the closed Suez Canal,
Brown said "unless this route is
quickly available again, there must
inevitably be damaging changes in
the pattern of world trade."
Ambassador Arthur J. Gold-
berg warned the United Nations
General Assembly that a settle-
ment of the "tragic and danger-
ous" Middle East situation could
not be attained unless there were
present on both sides, "an af-
firmative will to resolve the is-
sues, not through the dictation
of terms by either side, but
through a process of mutual ac-
commodation in which nobody's
vital interests are injured."
Goldberg outlined the basic con-
ditions for peace in the Middle
East as follows:
a. Each nation in the area must ac-
cept the right of others to live. The
least that this requires is that all
should renounce any state or claim of
belligerency, which as long ago as
`1951 was found by the Security Council
to be inconsistent with peace.
b.
Troops must be withdrawn—and
withdrawn in a contort of peace, for
some parties cannot be left free to as-
sert rights of war wWe others are
to the maintenance of tranquility
in the area. The government of
Israel regrets the loss of life in-
curred in these incidents and again
reaffirms its policy to abide strict-
ly by its cease-fire undertaking on
the basis of complete reciprocity."
Ambassador Rafael listed the
various incidents, pointing out that
in each case the fire was initiated
by Egyptian forces.

affairs, Paul Marti n, said
Wednesday that "the withdrawal

c. There must be Justice for the refu-
gees. The nations of the area must
address themselves at last, with new
energy and new determination to suc-
ceed, to the plight of those who have
been rendered homeless, or displaced,
by wars and conflicts of the past, both
distant and recent.
d. Free and innocent passage through
international waterways must be as-
sured for all nations. One of the les-
sons of the recent conflict is that
maritime rights must be respected.
e. The wasteful and destructive arms
race in the region must be curbed,
thereby making more resources avail-
able for economic developement.
1. The status of Jerusalem must not
be decided unilaterily but in consulta-
tion with all concerned and in recogni-
tion of the historic interests of the
three great religions in the holy places.
g. The political Independence and
territorial integrity of all states in the
area must be respected.
h. Boundries must be accepted and

lines, so as to afford security to all
parties against terror, destruction and

ended, he said. Restoration of the
lawful rights of the Arab peoples
and of peace in the area was a
matter of concern to all.
Foreign Minister Corneliu Mane-
seu of Romania, president of the
assembly, ruled that as there were
no objections, the item, "the situa-
tion in the Middle East," would
be inscribed as a matter of high
priority.
The Middle East problem will be
taken up by the assembly on Oct.
15 at the end of the general debate.
the general debate, stressed the
urgency of a solution in the Mid-
dle East and pointed out that "what
must be avoided is the continuance
of a state of belligerence between
members of this organization, punc-
tuated by military clashes and
bringing substantial damage to the
economies both of Israel and of
the Arab countries as well as con-
stant threats to world peace."
Prime Minister Jens Otto Krag
of Denmark deplored the fact that
there had been "no substantial
progress towards solution of the
underlying political problems" in
the Middle East. The parties to
the conflict, he said, "must them-
selves contribute to a solution."
Ambassador Nikolai Fedorenko
of the Soviet Union unleashed a
new blast at Israel, as did the rep-
resentatives of Syria, Libya and
Sudan. Fedorenko asserted that
the question of the liquidation
of Israeli aggression against the
Arab states was one of the most
important before the General As-

material damages.
Israel's permanent representa-

these charges as being "false."
He said in his letter that "it is
highly regrettable that the United
Arab Republic authorities choose
to escalate the tension in the area

of the city and will also refrain
from takijig any further steps, in
accordance with UN resolutions."
