United Nations Security Council Resolution 359

United Nations Security Council Resolution 359, adopted on 15 August 1974, after noting with concern a report from the Secretary-General on the continuing military action in Cyprus and recalling that United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus was placed there with the full consent of the governments of Cyprus, Turkey and Greece, the Council deplored the fact that members of the Force had been killed and wounded. The Resolution demands that all parties respect the status of the Force and demands that all parties co-operate with them in carrying out their tasks in all areas of Cyprus.
