At its 2502nd meeting, held on 2 November 1983, the Security Council resumed its consideration of the item, having before it the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµDOF) for the period 21 May to 21 November 1983 (S/16169).

The President called attention to a draft resolution before the Council (S/16187) which had been prepared in the course of the Council's consultations.

The Security Council then voted on the draft resolution (S/16187) and adopted it by 15 votes in favour to none against as resolution 543 (1983).

Resolution 543 (1983) reads as follows:

The Security Council,

Having considered the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (S/16169),

Decides:

(a) To call upon the parties concerned to implement immediately Security Council resolution 338 (1973) of 22 October 1973;

(b) To renew the mandate of the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force for another period of six months, that is, until 31 May 1984;

(c) To request the Secretary-General to submit, at the end of this period, a report on the developments in the situation and the measures taken to implement Security Council resolution 338 (1973).

Following the voting, the President made the following complementary statement (S/16188) on behalf of the Security Council regarding the resolution just adopted:

"As is known, the report of the Secretary-General on the United Nations Disengagement Observer Force (S/16169) states, in paragraph 26: `Despite the present quiet in the Israel-Syria sector, the situation in the Middle East as a whole continues to be potentially dangerous and is likely to remain so, unless and until a comprehensive settlement covering all aspects of the Middle East problem can be reached.'  That statement of the Secretary-General reflects the view of the Security Council."
