- United Nations Security Council Resolution 340
United Nations Security Council Resolution 340, adopted on October 25, 1973, after the outbreak of the Yom Kippur War. After learning of the apparent failure of resolutions 338 and 339 the Council demanded an immediate and complete cease-fire be observed and the parties return to the positions occupied by them at 1650 GMT on October 22nd, 1973. The Council then requested the Secretary-General to increase the number of United Nations military observers on both sides of the line and decided to use its authority to immediately set up a United Nations Emergency Force to be composed of personnel drawn from UN member states except the permanent members of the Security Council and asks the Secretary-General to report back within 24 hours on the steps taken to this effect. The resolution goes on to request the Secretary-General report back on a continuing basis on the implementation of this resolution, as well as 338 and 339, and requested all member states to co-operate fully in the implementation of these resolutions.
