Despite U.S. objections
PLO to take part in U.N. talks on Mid East
UNITED NATIONS (AP)—The
U N. Security Council rejected
U S. objections Monday night and
invited the Palestine Liberation
Organization to participate in a
council debate on the Middle East
and the Palestinian question
The vote was 11-1 to have the
PLO delegation take part with the
same rights as U N members.
US. Ambassador Daniel
Moymhan voted against while Bri
tain, France and Italy abstained in
the 15-member council.
The matter was procedural and
not subject to the veto power held
by America and the council's four
other permanent members—the
Soviet Union, China, Britain and
France.
It was known in advance that
Moynihan would lose, as he did
Dec. 4 when the council voted 9-3
with three abstentions to admit the
PLO to a debate on Israeli air raids
against Lebanon.
Monday morning three pipe
bombs were found in a subway
tunnel beneath the U N. Library
building and were defused by New
York police experts. They were
set to go off at 3 p.m.—shortly be
fore the Security Council con
vened.
A U N. security officer said
"there was enough explosives in
there to knock down half the lib
rary."
About five hours after the dis
covery, a man telephoned the As
sociated Press and said the
Jewish Armed Resistance Strike
Movement claimed responsibility
for placing the bombs.
Council Pres. Salim A. Salim of
Tanzania made the motion invit
ing the PLO to join in the debate
and Moynihan demanded a vote
on the issue.
The U.S. ambassador argued
that “the PLO is not a state” and
its participation could “erode the
council's authority, as has already
occurred in the General Assem
bly.”
Voting for the motion were
China, the Soviet Union, Japan,
Pakistan, Panama, Guyana,
Sweden, Romania, Libya, Tan
zania and Benin, formerly known
as Dahomey.
Moynihan told the council the
United States opposed the invita
tion because the PLO refuses to
acknowledge the authority of this
council'' and does not recognize
Israel's “right to exist.'
My government," he said, “is
not prepared to go along with an
action that will undermine the
negotiating process, which is the
only process that can lead to
peace ”
Soviet Ambassador Jacob
Malik noted that a council majority
agreed Nov. 30 to invite the PLO
and that the General Assembly in
its 1974 and 1975 sessions had
invited the Palestinians to all U N.
conferences and peace delibera
tions.
Sources in a position to know
said the United States would veto
any resolutions intended to bring
the PLO into the next Geneva
peace conference or to change
the terms for a Middle East peace
laid down in 1967 and 1973 coun
cil resolutions.
Egyptian Ambassador Esmat
Abdel Megurd said Sunday that
Egypt wants the council to adopt a
resolution promoting PLO partici
pation in the next Geneva confer
ence as well as recognizing the
Palestinians’ right to their own
state. 1967 and 1973 resolutions
mention “the refugee problem’’
but not a Palestinian homeland.
Accepted parties to the Geneva
conference are israel, Egypt, Jor
dan and Syria, plus the Soviet
Union and the United States as
chairers.
Israel is boycotting the council
session, which Israeli Ambas
sador Chaim Herzog said Monday
marked the “development of a
sinister plan evolved by Syria and
the PLO with the support of the
Soviet Union.”
Speaking at the Carnegie En
dowment Center across the
street, he said the world body has
“set the stage, from a political
point of view, for the renewal of
hostilities in the Middle East.' He
cited anti-Israeli resolutions pas
sed by the General Assembly last
fall.
