UN SECURITY COUNCIL CONDEMNS TEMPORARY DETENTION OF PEACEKEEPERS,
LOOTING IN GOLANNew York, May 17 2013 2:00PMMembers of the Security
Council have 'strongly condemned' the looting of a UN observation post
in the Golan Heights and the temporary detention of three
peacekeepers, the third such incident in the past two months.

The Security Council, in a
<"http://www.un.org/News/Press/docs//2013/sc11011.doc.htm">press
statement released on 16 May, "strongly condemned the incident on May
15 in which a group of anti-government armed elements detained three
United Nations military observers from UNTSO's Observer Group Golan
for several hours, and looted a United Nations observation post within
the Area of Separation."

The three observers from the United Nations Truce Supervision
Organization (UNTSO) were held for approximately five hours and
returned unharmed to UN Observation Post 52 where they were met by the
UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF) Head of Mission, according to
a note today from the UN Office of the Spokesperson for the
Secretary-General.

Earlier in the month, four UNDOF 'blue helmets' were seized by armed
elements near Al Jamlah and later released; while in March, 21
Filipino peacekeepers were seized by armed elements of the Syrian
opposition and released four days later.

At that time, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon
<"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=2819">reiterated to
all parties the impartiality of UN peacekeepers and calling for
respecting of the Mission's freedom of movement and the safety and
security of its personnel.

In its statement, the Security Council called on all parties to
cooperate with the UNDOF and UNTSO' s Observer Group Golan in good
faith "to enable them to operate freely and to ensure full security of
the UN personnel, and reiterated their unconditional support for UNDOF
and UNTSO."

Peacekeepers serving with UNDOF monitor the 1974 disengagement accord
between Syria and Israel after their 1973 war. In December, the
Security Council extended the mission's mandate for another six
months, until 30 June 2013.May 17 2013 2:00PM
